Cosmetology

Throughout history, people have practised various forms of body care, grooming and enhancement for personal, social, cultural and religious reasons. Some practitioners have applied their abilities in the workplace by providing professional cosmetology services to clients. The personal and professional care, grooming and enhancement of the human body is supported by an array of industries including those that manufacture cosmetics and related equipment, tools and supplies for personal and/or professional use, and those that provide professional cosmetology services. Each of these industries provides career opportunities for suitably qualified people. Cosmetology Studies, a strand in Career and Technology Studies, focuses on personal and professional grooming, body care and enhancement practices, and provides students with opportunities to explore and prepare for cosmetology-related career options.
