Brushing up your cosmetology skills online?
When licensed beauty professionals need a brush-up on training – what’s the best way to continue your education? Some beauty schools are now offering online cosmetology training courses for licensed beauty professionals. Why? It’s easy and flexible.
Since higher education has largely turned to the Internet, students can now take classes from institutions that are not even located in their city, or state for that matter. Now, beauty schools are seeing the transition to online beauty classes, and don’t want to be left unplugged!
Given that this is a new avenue for beauty schools, there are some rules. You must already have your cosmetology license to take online continuing education beauty courses. Not all states accept online training for additional certificates or mandatory continued education so make sure you check with your state’s cosmetology licensing requirements before you enroll in online beauty school classes.
If you live in a state where you can enroll in online beauty courses then it can be the perfect way to brush up on your cosmetology skills or learn new beauty methods or procedures. Some of the courses you can take are:
• Additional coloring methods
• Building your career tips
• And more!
We know that attending a cosmetology school in the flesh is the best way to get hands-on cosmetology training. But in an online environment, you don’t have to worry about when to go to beauty school – it’s all in front of you on your computer on your own schedule. It’s perfect for stylists who want to continue their cosmetology education and not have to go to a classroom, or for individuals wanting to return to a beauty profession they left for a while. But
What about you? Have you thought about, or ever taken any online beauty school classes? Do you feel you get as much out of it as a class in a real beauty school?

I know that this can work…especially for people who have run out of time to complete their hours requirements before license renewal. I’ve been considering creating a make-up certification this way, but supporting it with required tests & video submittals demonstrating the skills requisite to the subject at hand.

I agree that hand-on cosmetology training is critical when it comes to keeping you up to date on new techniques. However, the states that mandate CE hours for cosmetologists generally have certain class requirements that can easily be learned from the comfort of your own home. For example, the Texas Cosmetology Commission requires 2 hours of Rules & Law. I would much rather take this sort of class at home at my leisure rather than sitting in a classroom.
