As a member of a military family, you have to move around the U.S. to different bases and stations. Moving so often can make holding down a job a little bit tricky for military spouses. Considering an education and career in cosmetology is a potential solution to this problem.
While each state’s requirements may be a little bit different, the knowledge and skills that you can gain in cosmetology school will remain the same. This means that when you move, you may have to do a few things to get licensed in the new state, but once this is done you should have all the qualifications to work as a beauty professional.
Options
Going to cosmetology school can give you a variety of different skills such as manicuring, skin care, hairstyling, chemical services, and salon management just to name a few. With this broad skillset, cosmetologists can help a wide variety of people with different needs and demands. Another perk is that this makes the job of a cosmetologist exciting because you don’t have to do the same thing over and over again.
Anytime, Anywhere
One of the most appealing parts of working as a cosmetologist for military spouses is that it is a very flexible career choice. You can have flexibility to work the hours that are best for you and to create your own schedule. You can even become your own boss. With the constant moving and relocating, cosmetology can travel with you.
These are some of the jobs that you can find when you move to a new place or that can travel around with you if you have a cosmetology license:
- Freelance makeup artist and hairstylist
- Salon owner or manager
- Salon hairstylist
- Platform artist
- Product representative

Service is a central theme and way of life for military families. This is another reason that cosmetology is such a great fit for military spouses.
