Employment Outlook
Overall job opportunities are expected to be good. A large number of job openings will stem from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations, retire, or leave the occupation for other reasons. However, workers should expect strong competition for jobs and clients at higher paying salons, of which there are relatively few and for which applicants must compete with a large pool of experienced hairstylists and cosmetologists.
Salary Outlook
The median annual Cosmetologists salary for this area is $30,962 without tips as of May 2019, with a range usually between $ 18,920 to $51,870 without tips.
