What is cosmetology? The American Heritage Dictionary defines cosmetology as the study or art in cosmetics and their use. Cosmetology is a broad term that is used to encompass a wide range of beauty mediums, including hair, skin, nails, and makeup. Schools that offer cosmetology degrees have crafted their curricula to address all of these categories.
A graduate of a state-approved cosmetology program must successfully pass an exam to be licensed to work. The licensing of cosmetologists is not standardized and varies according to jurisdiction. As a result, rarely can licenses be transferred from one state to another. Part of this lies in the way each jurisdiction interprets cosmetology. For example, Oregon recognizes four distinct fields in the practice of cosmetology -- barbering, aesthetics, hair design and technology -- and issues licenses accordingly.
