Esthetician vs Cosmetologist

Esthetician and Cosmetologists are terms that are often intertwined with each other. What is the difference?

Cosmetology can be defined as many terms: hair stylist, artist, expert in applying cosmetic procedures and skin care, and many more! Cosmetologists can hold a variety of job titles based on where they work. While Esthiology is the cosmetic practice of caring for one’s skin. Included are facials, makeup, skin treatment, and hair removal. As well as being able to analyze skin for treatment, skin conditions, and be able to give advice on ways to care for different skin types, and what to eat and drink for the best skin.

At the cosmetology school at Aveda Institute you will learn hair cutting, color, texture services, nail care, makeup application, business development, retail knowledge, and the concept of gaining and retaining clients.
