What are the benefits of becoming an instructor?

In addition to working with your clients, being an instructor brings an even more enhanced sense of career satisfaction to estheticians and cosmetologists. There are plenty of benefits to becoming an instructor.

• The satisfaction of helping others. Most people become estheticians or cosmetologists because they love helping people. There’s a strong sense of accomplishment at the end of the day when you’ve made your clients look and feel their best. The same is true of being an instructor – this takes helping others to a whole new level. You’ll have the opportunity to inspire and teach a whole new generation of talented people who want to come into the industry for the same reasons as you once did. Your experience and caring, one-on-one instruction will help people succeed in this rewarding career field.

Once you’re an experienced instructor, you may be eligible for advancement into areas of cosmetology and esthetic school management and administration, and you might also find new career opportunities as a state board examiner. These opportunities take your career to a whole new level.

Can I keep my clients when I become an instructor?
