Hi AA,
Thanks for sharing your question. Pursuing cosmentology is great because it open your world up to more than just hair. It will also allow you to become a specialist in certain areas of cosmentology i.e. hair cutting, hair coloring etc... It gives you a chance to be of service to others. One of the cons is every one may not prefer your level of service and that's okay too.
Overall, the choice is yours and it will be a rewarding career to go towards.

Hi,
Even though I'm not in the industry myself, I have family and friends who are, and I've learned a bit from them.
One great thing about this career is that it can be very rewarding financially, especially if you build a steady client base.
There are some challenges, like being on your feet all day and working with various chemicals, which might affect your health. Also, consider how comfortable you are with touching people's scalps and hands, as cleanliness can vary.
I’d look into shadowing someone who works in cosmetology, and if it seems to be of interest to you, then move forward with next steps!
