Reasons to Consider a Career as an Instructor

Becoming an educator can be a rewarding choice and a great way to further your cosmetology career. The job outlook in the cosmetology field is positive and expected to grow considerably in the coming years, according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. As more individuals look to pursue a career in the beauty industry, the need for qualified instructors increases as well. As a licensed cosmetology instructor, you can teach in a variety of settings, such as beauty schools, nail schools, and esthetician schools. Becoming a cosmetology instructor can also lead to you managing or even owning your own cosmetology school.

Beyond the increase in opportunities for professional growth, there are several reasons why someone would choose to become an instructor. One of the most significant opportunities is the ability to make an impact on the industry by passing along knowledge and experience to the next generation of beauty professionals. While it’s very rewarding to help your clients look and feel their best, it can be equally fulfilling to prepare aspiring beauty artists for their dream careers.

As an educator, you will be a coach and mentor to students and one of their first authentic connections to the beauty industry. The team at Inspire Greatness Aveda Institutes can help make your transition from practitioner to mentor feel seamless. Instructor students learn in the classroom, gain hands-on training, and receive one-on-one coaching experiences.
