Careers in the beauty industry require constant work and a desire to upgrade your skills, so you’ll never get tired of it. Furthermore, working in the beauty sector pays well, so you’ll be able to make a good income. Now, you might be wondering which beauty career can make you a fortune? We’ve got several ideas for you.

Hairstylist – because nothing beats a good hair day

Let’s be honest, whenever you get a fresh haircut or a wavy blowout, you feel like you can conquer the world. We should thank our hairstylists for giving us this confidence boost. Hairstylists will always be in demand for this and many other reasons. Especially if you have a knack for hairstyling and love to explore new hairstyling trends, you should start your training and become a hairstylist. You can work on your own, join a well-established beauty salon, or even travel abroad on a cruise ship. In any case, you will find great joy in working as a hairstylist and also enjoy the financial benefit.

Esthetician

An esthetician, also known as a beauty therapist, can make a fortune by taking care of your skin. You can also provide other services like waxing, different body treatments, makeup, brow and lashes, and other services. But, it’s always best to specialize in one area first like skincare, facials, and anti-aging treatments. You can, later on, expand your knowledge based on the current demand for beauty services. To work as an esthetician, you need to finish the right school or a course and become a licensed esthetician. 

Beauty salon owner – we should dream big

Whether you choose to become a hairstylist or an esthetician, you can also dream big.  You can easily become a beauty salon owner. This is also a lucrative option for anyone with experience in business management who wants to run their own business in the beauty sector. Nonetheless, being your own boss allows you to provide the best service to others without having to convince someone to expand their number of services. When you work for someone else, you are limited by budget and other financial constraints. But, when you are a trained beauty specialist and you run your own business, you’ll strive to be the best.

Nail artist

You probably know at least one manicurist who is booked two weeks in advance. This only means they are good at their job and their nail technician services are in high demand. Working as a nail technician or a nail artist is also an exciting career option. There’s always a new technique to learn and new material to try. Additionally, if shopping is your therapy, working as a nail artist gives you a chance to feed your passion. You’ll constantly buy new materials, new colors, and accessories for nail art. Clients wearing your unique nail art will be walking advertisements for your services. This will attract a constant flow of new customers and your finances will run in abundance.

Eyelashes specialist – can enhance your beauty in a subtle way

More and more women are turning to the so-called no-makeup trend. The key to nailing down this beauty routine is to focus on a few essential items.  You’ll need a  foundation, neutral eyeshadow, natural blush, and eyelash extensions. Thick but naturally looking eyelash extensions accentuate the eyes so more and more beauty technicians are adding this service to their portfolio. An eyelash extension course can take up to just five weeks and you’ll be ready to offer this service to your clients. This training will not eat up too much of your time, allowing you to meet the growing demand for this service.

An influencer in the beauty industry

If beauty products excite you, you’re always ready to try a new treatment, there’s a career for you. Especially if you know how to run social media, there’s a space for you to share your beauty reviews. First, you will have to build an audience and trust. Your honest and comprehensive reviews will help you build a community. Beauty businesses looking to collaborate with influencers will easily recognize this. You’ll make a great impact on the industry by talking honestly about products and beauty treatments. You can also run a website, write blog posts and use social media to boost traffic to your website. When you share your honest review on your website or social media you will earn a commission and make money.

Makeup artist – can accentuate your best features

Makeup artists are always in demand because women love to look and feel confident. The right makeup that accentuates the best features can do wonders for self-esteem and confidence. It comes as no surprise that women have accepted this trend quite quickly. Depending on the type of occasion and event, a makeup artist knows what kind of makeup is needed. They will know how to set your face if you have a photoshoot, so your face won’t shine through. So, if you need a creative outlet that is also lucrative, pursue a career as a makeup artist.

Lastly, working as a photographer in the beauty industry is another possible career option. Many people need a photographer with a trained eye and a sense of aesthetics. We hope this article will inspire you to find an exciting opportunity in the beauty industry.
