New Career Path Opportunity for Cosmetologists
With the way that technology is
slowly engulfing every aspect of our lives --and I mean this in a positive
way-- it would only be natural to assume that someday the fashion and makeup
world will also undergo a massive overhaul. You might ask, how fashion and
makeup could do that? How can a service such as this really be online?
Years
ago we wondered how fashion could be purchased online, or how we could walk
into a store and try on a dress without taking off a single item of clothing.
But now it is all reality, maybe not in every store, but in some stores you can
look in the mirror and see yourself in a dress you have not physically put on.
So how does this relate to the hair and makeup industries? Currently there are apps
available that allow you to see what they would look like with different
hairstyles and makeup, but unless a robot pops out of the screen, there is no
way they can physically get a service from an app… or can they?
Anyone
can order a makeup artist or hairdresser at a moment’s notice through this app.
How does it work? Well, an order is placed, and then a hair stylist or makeup
artist will show up at your hotel, place of work, office or home to prep you
for that important business meeting, that big first date or that special girl’s
night out.
At
the moment, GlamorSquad (what a great
name!) is only available in New York, Miami, Los Angeles and The Hamptons. However,
I foresee that similar services-apps
like this one will start popping up all over the world.
It
seems to be the hair and beauty version of Air
BnB or Uber. These business
models are great, as they allow professionals to take their careers into their
own hands while bringing great services to everyday people for a fraction of
the cost. The larger companies do not like it… but guess what? The consumers
do! The big companies didn’t like Groupon when it first started, but look how
mainstream it has now become. Great news for future hairstylists, makeup
artists and beauticians, your future is looking bright!
Just
one of the many career paths that a graduate of the International Institute of
Cosmetology can choose to embark on. For
