There is definitely a gap when it comes to the educational system as a whole. The system was broken in our public schooling and if you stand back and look at it, it’s also broken in cosmetology school. What system am I talking about? The most important piece of the journey. that lead us to financial success? Understanding how to truly build, develop and scale a BUSINESS. Here is just a snapshot of the gap that most cosmetology professional struggle with: Understanding business management, marketing strategies, systems and operations, financial literacy, profit, and loss, etc. I could go on and on. Cosmetology schools focus more on technique development over business acumen which has led so many Hairstylist back to corporate America, when we are in a multi billion dollar industry. So how will we develop ourselves to ensure we can better prepare future professionals? Let’s make 2025 our year that we prioritize the business mindset for ourselves, and our businesses and our future professionals!

As license Master Cosmetologist, we know we can write our check. This is a multi billion dollar industry and the earnings are limitless if you position yourself properly. However, some of us choose to add more value to the industry by desiring to teach the future industry leaders. Most educators work for a corporate company that offer medical, dental, 401(k), etc. benefits however, the pay is extremely questionable. What do you think the minimum pay for Cosmetology Educators should be and why?
