A beauty career can be exciting, fun, and rewarding. However, with little or no experience, it can be difficult to build a client base and make a name for yourself. At Rada Beaute, we know firsthand how difficult it is to take that first big step into the beauty industry. It took boldness, beauty, and passion to get us where we are today, and now, we want to help you. Whether you're just starting, or trying to build your skill set, check out these four tips to advance your cosmetology career.

Take Beauty Courses

Having a good foundation of knowledge is the first step to becoming a beauty professional. But, beauty schools can be pricey and time-consuming. That’s why Rada Beaute has taken the initiative to offer flexible online cosmetology classes that can be completed at your own pace. You can find courses on advanced hair coloring, haircutting, fashion, and more. 

Build Your Portfolio

Once you have some skills mastered, you can start putting together pictures and testimonials of your work. Start small with friends and family, then once you’re feeling confident, branch out by finding clients through social media and word-of-mouth. Creating your own website is a great way to make your portfolio accessible to potential clients.

Polish your Interview Skills

Whether you’re working independently or trying to get a chair at a salon, you will need to have strong interview skills. Think about the kind of person you want working on your own hair and make-up, then incorporate them into your interview. Here are some common interview questions you can review from indeed.com. Don’t forget to show off your skills by applying what you have learned to your own look on interview day.

Learn The Business Side

Knowing the logistical side of a beauty business will help you charge fair prices and find employers who pay you a reasonable wage. Making an effort to learn the business will also make it easier to grow as an individual and maybe open your own salon one day.

By following these tips, you will take the first step to becoming a beauty professional. Be bold, be beautiful, and embrace your inner artist by learning more about our courses to help advance your skills.
