they do face make up, hair, & if i'm not mistaken, manicures and pedicures. an easy way to get started on the hair is either get a wig and cut that or try cutting your friends hair (If they'll let you). to get started on the nails you can do your own and/or a friend's. nails aren't that hard. ya jus gotta work on it. and last, but not least, to get started on the face make-up, once again, you can try doing your own or a friend's(As long as they let you).
hope i helped.

I am in school for cosmetology now. See if your school offer this class through a vocational/technical school. Go down and talk to your counselor. You have to be in tenth grade to take it, atleast at my school. I am pretty sure it is the same in all schools because it is a state law, but i guess it alll depends on where you live. But your counselor should be able to help you with this. If you have a vo-trech school and it has this course to take he will be able to assign you to it and if not then he will beable to help you locate some information on how to become one and what schools will help you in this feild of study.

As for what they do- They do several different types of things.
*Facials
*manicures
*pedicure.
*nails - acrylic, tips, full, fill in, design/painting
*hair cutting
*hair coloring- highlithing, lowlighting, tinting, frosting, tipping, etc.
*hair relaxing- straighten the hair
*perming
*styling
*up-dos
*braiding- cornrow, french braid, fishtail braid, regular braids, etc.
*extensions- adding additional, longer hair to yours.

there are so many more things that a cosmo. can do. There are several different varieties of a cosmetologist, depending on which field of cosmetology you planned to get into and make a career out of. I hope this has helped you.

I know for sure that cosmotologists do face makeup, and they also do haircuts and sometimes manicures and pedicures and sometimes spa treatments. To make it easier, I even looked up a couple websites for you :)

*cosmetology* for all the people who spelled it wrong, just to help you out! =) Anyhow, that's what I want to do as well, and have, forever. For people to say don't get excited, they don't make a lot of money is kinda messed up because; for one, the money isn't bad, and for two, if you're happy with what you do in life you're going to be a whole hell of a lot more happy then if you don't care for what you do, even if you make 10X the amount of money. Depending upon where you live you can find out about where you can go to school...I dono where you live, but I know here in Omaha we have two Cosmetology schools. It's a year and one month in school and then you have to go out on your own and find a job, which may not be easy at first depending on where you live. Also, you specialize in usually one or two things...like; hair, makeup, manicure/pedicure, or facials. Few other things branch out from those. Anyhow, I hope I helped and good luck!!

Go to your local funeral home and ask to be a mortician. Lost of practice there, and if you screw up, big deal.

they do a LOT...

*hair cuts
*hair color- bleaching, highlighting, regular hair color
*Braiding- Corn Rows, Twists, Single braids, french braids
*Perming ( curly perm )
*relaxers ( str8tening )
*manicures- Regular manicures, Acrylic, nail design
*Pedicures
*Waxing
and much more... u should see if u can take cosmetology in ur school as an elective... if not talk to ur counselor and ask if u can take that as an academy class in another school or sumthing... the amount of money they make depends on where u live... and what exactly u wanan do... if u start of as a cosmetologist and either buy ur own Salon or open ur own... you'll be makin plenty of money Hollah at me if u wanna knO morE

Well my cousins a cosmotoleg....well i can't spell either and not in a hurry, but she does hair, face, manicure, pedicure, facials, toes, hands, finger. Mostly what you do if you go to school for that you will most likely become a hiar stylist. thats what you do most of the time.
You can get started by looking for websites, google something like "School of Cosmotoligy" they will give you the listings of schools in your area.


Well I hope i helped

Well, I should think that you should look into studying the subject at your local community college and getting a job at the make-up center in a department store. But, you'll probably change your mind soon enough... most fourteen year olds don't know what they'll do in life.

Laura answered Tuesday September 28 2004, 10:48 pm:
So do I. The school downtown does make-up, skin, nails and hair. Just type in "cosmetology school" Yeah, that's not spelled right, and your city at google.com. They'll show all the schools in your area. Also, ask the local hair stylists if they know any around your area. Good luck!
