What are my career options?
Hairstylists are most often employed at salons and spas. Upon completion of the program, students will have the qualifications to acquire positions as a hairstylist: in a salon, in the movie industry, theatre, mobile salon services, homes for elderly or disabled. Students will also be able to work in sales and retail positions within the industry. Many are self-employed, either owning their own business or leasing a spot within someone else's salon or spa.
