Phillips Hairstyling

The outlook for careers in the beauty industry is very
promising. The beauty industry continues to evolve, broadening its
scope and employing ever larger numbers of licensed professionals. 

The beauty industry offers a wide choice of career
opportunities like: working in a salon as a stylist, manager or owner;
working for a manufacturer as a researcher, educator or sales
associate; working in the entertainment industry for TV, motion
pictures or live theater; working in a school as a teacher, director or
owner. Careers as hairstylists and cosmetologists are ranked by Money magazine as among “America’s 50 Hottest Jobs,” with annual earnings exceeding $38,000. 

The Phillips Hairstyling Institute’s approach is
recognized throughout the area as one of the best there is. It entails
both the art and science of hair, skin and nails. Textbook study is
supplemented by laboratory work with visual aids to further educate you
in the trade techniques of today’s beauty industry.
