| Cosmetology A career in cosmetology can mean everything from working in a salon doing cuts, perms and colors, to working in the fashion industry creating looks for runway models and print ads. Cosmetologists do hair and makeup for movies and TV, including special effects makeup. They also work on stage at industry shows, showing the latest in styles and techniques, and teach the newest cosmetologists in schools across the country. Cosmetologists can specialize in color, texturizing, makeup, spa services, nail technology, or any other segment of the beauty industry.
