There’s never been a better time to become a licensed cosmetologist, esthetician, makeup artist or barber. The beauty industry is booming, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon.
With flexible career paths, growing demand for services, and exciting new trends on the horizon, beauty school could be your first step toward a thriving, fulfilling future.
Here’s why 2025 is the year to launch your career in the beauty industry and how Aveda Arts can help you get there:
The Beauty Industry is Growing Fast
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of hairstylists, barbers, and cosmetologists is projected to grow faster than average through 2032. As people invest more in self-care, wellness, and appearance, the demand for skilled professionals is rising.
High Demand = More Job Security
One of the best parts of entering the beauty industry? It’s a career that can’t be outsourced or automated. Haircuts, facials, and color services are hands-on and personal. That means job security, especially for talented professionals who stay up-to-date with trends and techniques.
