Aesthetic jobs include hair, skin, nails, and spa treatments. Hairdressers and barbers work with hair, skin care specialists work with facials and hair removal, nail technicians work with manicures and pedicures, and estheticians offer various spa treatments.

Jobs that fall under the category of beauty, personal care, hygiene or cosmetology are known as aesthetic jobs. This includes hairdressers, barbers, skin technicians, nail and pedicure technicians, and those offering spa treatments such as massage and aromatherapy. There are many different aesthetic jobs, but they generally fall into one of the following categories: hair, skin, nails, spa treatments.

Hair

Beautician jobs that fall into the hair category are typically hairdressers and barbers. Hairdressers wash, color, cut and style hair. Barbers usually work with men, washing, cutting and styling hair, as well as shaving and trimming beards and facial hair. Hairdressers may specialize in cutting, coloring, perming or styling. Some stylists work in salons, others work in their homes, and others work in various locations, providing services to models, actors, or television personalities. Some hairdressers and barbers may extend traditional services to include massages and other relaxation techniques to enhance the hairstyling experience.

Cosmetic skin care jobs often involve facials, removing unwanted hair, and other treatments to combat dry or oily skin. A skin care specialist may work in a salon or spa, dermatology practice, or have a private practice. One of the most popular treatments for hair removal right now is laser hair removal, so that’s a particularly great area to look into. Skin care technicians who work for dermatologists or plastic surgeons may want to continue their education to become a licensed paramedical esthetician. Licensed paramedical estheticians care for patients undergoing surgery before and after the procedure.

nails

Nail care is another focus of aesthetic work. Some specialize in manicures, others pedicures, and others. A nail technician might spend the day giving manicures, applying fake nail tips, air brushing designs on fingernails or toenails, or pedicures. Again, nail technicians can work in a salon, spa, or in their private practice.

spa treatment

Spa services are probably the broadest category of beauty jobs. Many types of spa treatments are available and estheticians working in spas can set clients up for mud bath treatments, use aromatherapy to relax or invigorate clients, utilize various massage methods, apply hot stones, hydrate, detoxify or any other type of treatment. Some estheticians who give this type of treatment do so as an extension of their primary focus, such as hairstyling, and some offer unique treatments.
