To become a beautician/make-up artist, would you have to go to College?

My dream job is to either be a make-up artist or a beautician, if I tend to go to college, what would be the difference to when I don't go to college?To become a beautician/make-up artist, would you have to go to College?
Well not really but you do have to go to institutes ans schools. There, you get lessons and courses about colors, beauty, products, mixtures, skin types, combination etc.. Below I places a link to a very good makeup school as an example for you. hope it helps.To become a beautician/make-up artist, would you have to go to College?
No college. You need to go to Cosmetology School, If you don't get licensed, Then you can't work in a Salon, or anywhere in the beauty Industry. In some states, They don't require you to have a license for Make up Artistry, But it is nice to take a few courses(Which, usually would be Esthetics, if you want to be licensed.) to help you out some and get certified.
In my dream you don't go to the college .You can find it in the net
you have qualifications if you go to college, and your more likely to get hired if you have them :)
Not much, that's what beauty schools are for.
I have two daughters who went through Aveda School.

Many companies or should I say, almost all companies are requiring applicants to have finished college. You should take your college just in case you didn't achieve that job. Like a back-up plan. There are courses for being a beautician but I think they're only side courses.
To be a makeup artist, the proper name is Estitician, at least in CA, and you won't only learn how to apply some types of makeup, but you also learn how to do manicures/ pedicures, and waxing.





Cosmetologist (beautician) requires a bit more time studying, and with that you learn a bit of everything, including makeup application, and perhaps the basics of waxing/nails, but you're mostly focusing on hair.





Search on Yahoo! or wherever you usually search, and type in, ';Beauty Schools in ______';. They should come up with a listing of surrounding beauty schools. Beauty Colleges are vocational schools, not actual universities where you can earn say, a degree in criminology, unless your local community college offers those classes at the college. Either way, it is still a vocational career.





Best of luck!
you go to cosmetology school...like the Salon Professional Academy or something...there are tons of schools for that, but it's a technical college type deal...
You do not need a degree of any kind to become a beautician or makeup artist. A good beautician school (usually about 1 year) would help but not a requirement. What you need to be very successful in this field is talent and 'on the job training'. Plenty of beautician schools offer graduation certificates which also can be attained by attendance on a part time basis. This is a great idea. You attend school possible 2 days or nights per week. And you work as an apprentice beautician on a part time basis. You get schooling in the field and experience in the field. Give it a shot. Best of Luck.
well you will have a better chance if you go into a college


but there are a lot of cosmetology/beautician schools out there


its better if you do because one day if you have your own bisnuess it looks better and more people will come


also you might learn new techniques
