  Cosmetologist for 6 years. As someone else stated it is only enjoyable for me when I was renting my own station in a salon. You need to be able to afford the rent and today it could be $600 per month or higher. Also need business license and everything that goes with running a business. If you do not have clients you may have lots of days where you make $0.00. I have worked in two corporate salons that work off commission and the problem is you have to work extremely fast every time or you may not make money or keep your job. The problem with working fast and doing more than one client at once is mistakes are made and if the client has another stylist fix the problem your pay gets taken away. This career may be a good fit for people who like fast paced competition. I think this trade has changed as the weekly roller sets ladies used to get were your bread and butter in between perms and colors that are only done every 2-3 months. This career was right for my mom and my aunt when times were different but now I don't think you can make money unless you get involved in the TV or movies.

  I did this just out of high school.As I grew up,much of my family did this; was natural assumption that I would like it - and while I am a "warm" person, I had a pretty hard time with the constant physical contact. I only miss certain things.. miss the creativity, and constant change in trends. I always had the "awkward" customers come to me(they were SO hard to please, but always came back, lol). But, that was the way since..since I was not in long enough work up the ladder very much.
So, did you people ever get used to touching others? I must sound horrible. I am not a mean cold person.
