CONTINUING EDUCATION AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY

May 06, 2021

CONTINUING EDUCATION and CAREER DEVELOPMENT are two concepts that we do not see or hear much in the beauty industry, at least in most states.


States such as California have no mandatory continuing education requirements for licensees needed to renew a cosmetology or barber license. So, each hairstylist/barber can make up their own curriculum, or in many cases no curriculum, about what training they can take to maintain or improve skills.  


Even for those who want to learn and improve skills, without some direction, they might take a class or series of classes on YouTube™ from the thousands of hairdressers or educators who believe they have valuable information to sell or give away. They may take a class from a known programs such as Aveda or Vidal Sassoon or rent videos on subjects they are interested in exploring. But often the information is incomplete and not learned, just witnessed, and does little to improve knowledge or skill.  Wasted time and money that leaves the hair professional needing and wanting more.   


Career Development is another concept we do not hear about in the beauty industry. To so many in and outside of the beauty world, being a hairstylist is a job, not a profession. We do not have a body of knowledge that reflects the evolution of science and technology that everyone sees in virtually every other industry, business, and profession.


Here at The Comb Institute, we believe Hair Professionals, trained in disciplines such as Design, Architecture, Engineering and Visual Mathematics do not exist because until now, only passing recognition is given these disciplines in beauty education. Meaningful, useable practical information that increases skills and knowledge is what we teach at the institute. 


Our haircutting system and Fastrak™ finishing and styling education teaches new hair professionals how to cut hair FAST in just a few months, with skills and confidence that still takes years to acquire with any other teaching system.


We are also experiencing a surge in licensed barbers taking our program. Why? They see they can add to their skills quickly in our time and cost-effective program AND increase their career and income prospects. The new Professional Barber expands his or her skills to include Cosmo.


For practicing hair stylists, you can learn new skills and gain an understanding of hair cutting that you have never been exposed to. We teach continuing education that enhances knowledge and understanding of your profession. 


When you earn The Comb Certification you will be recognized as a practitioner in innovative and superior education.

Working Hair professionals often exhibit interest in finding out what is new, getting latest technical information or styling collections, etc., and will take classes – sometimes live but more likely on-line, in areas that interest them.
