Working as a beautician (also known as cosmetologist) can be a fun and fulfilling vocation that lets you create positive changes for your clients. From manicures and pedicures to hairstyles and highlights, a beautician uses his or her talents to transform a woman into a more glamorous version of herself. Beautician’s Day, which falls on near the end of June each year, is set aside to say “thanks” to these professionals of prettiness and even to consider a rewarding career in cosmetology for your own profession.

If you are just getting out of cosmetology school or already have an established career but are looking for a new venue for your talents, an impeccably crafted resume is an important tool used to show you are a “cut above” the competition.
