Cosmetology is a unique blend of aesthetics, technology, and health tips used for the beautification of skin, face, and hair.
It is an exciting profession that presents professionals with unique challenges every day.
Due to the sensitive nature of the job, a resume for a cosmetology position must be skill-based.
Since cosmetology is a broad term that umbrellas skincare, face beautification, hand, and nail care, hair treatments, and the like, merely mentioning some years spent as a cosmetician isn’t going to help.
It is better to present all your skills in order of expertise level in separate broad sections, let’s say for face skin, and hair.
A skills-based resume will flash your skills instantly, and the employer will find it easy to relate your profile with the job in question.
