Why Continuing Education Is Important

Continuing education is important in any career. It allows you to learn new skills, helps you stay updated on current trends, systems, or techniques, and offers the chance for promotions and a higher salary. Additionally, the Pew Research Center reports that individuals who pursue continuing education often expand their professional networks, opening doors to future job opportunities or potential clients.

For the beauty industry, continuing education is especially crucial to stay current on trends and new techniques. Benefits of continuing education include:

Staying Current With License Requirements

One of the best reasons to continue your education is to stay up to date on your licensure. Beauty industry requirements change constantly, and investing in your education enables you to adapt when they do. Sometimes, your state may put new educational requirements in place which can affect your ability to work. Safety and sanitization procedures may also be updated. Learning these new standards and procedures helps ensure you comply with new standards and helps keep you and your clients safe.

Sharpening Your Skills

You may be a great hairstylist but struggle with makeup. Continuing your training affords you opportunities to improve your weak areas and help you gain confidence in your abilities. Taking additional classes allows you to refresh the skills you already know while learning new ones, enabling you to grow into a well-rounded professional.

By learning more skills, you can also expand the list of services you provide. For example, you can freelance as a wedding stylist, providing bridal parties with hair and makeup services.

Keeping Up With Trends

The rise of social media has led to new trends in hairstyles, cuts, and nails. What’s popular today won’t be popular tomorrow. Educating yourself on new equipment, technology, and products keeps your knowledge base current. Taking classes allows you to adapt to these new trends and execute them flawlessly. Additionally, having the skills to keep up with in-demand styles helps you stay competitive in the beauty industry.
