White Hat
Barbers, hairdressers, and cosmetologists provide haircutting, hairstyling, and a range of other beauty services.
The median hourly wage for barbers, hairdressers, and cosmetologists was $11.40 in May 2015.
Employment of barbers, hairdressers, and cosmetologists is projected to grow 10 percent from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. Most job openings will result from the need to replace workers who leave the occupation.
All states require barbers, hairdressers, and cosmetologists to be licensed. To qualify for a license, candidates are required to graduate from a state-approved barber or cosmetology program and then pass a state exam for licensure.
Barbers, hairdressers, and cosmetologists work mostly in a barbershop or salon. Physical stamina is important, because they are on their feet for most of their shift. Many work full time, but part-time positions are also common. Nearly half were self-employed in 2014.

Con: Physical Demands
Cosmetologists spend most of their time on their feet, which can lead to pain in the feet, legs and lower back. They also work with chemicals and dyes that can irritate the skin and eyes or aggravate allergy symptoms. People in this field can inhale chemical solvents and dusts, absorb chemicals via the skin or ingest hair chemicals if they eat or touch their mouths after touching combs and other hair accessories.
Con: Licensing Requirements
Every state requires cosmetologists to obtain professional licenses. The requirements vary by state, so it is important to understand what your state's are before committing to a career in this field.
Con: Wages
Cosmetologists typically earn an hourly wage supplemented by tips. In 2010, hairstylists, cosmetologists and hairdressers earned a median hourly wage of only $10.94, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is $5.33 per hour less than the median hourly wage of $16.27 for all other occupations in the same year. Tip income can be unpredictable, as not all customers tip the same amount for cosmetology services.
