Cosmetology debuted for the first time last year after the magazine opened up the list to careers that do not require a college degree.

In 2008, the magazine recognized that the U.S. job scene has been changing for a long time. Increasingly, bachelor's degree holders have been experiencing increased difficulty finding jobs, mainly because companies continue to send business and technical professional jobs "offshore." Secondly, as the majority of high school teachers push students to go to college, there's a decreasing supply of professional services workers, skilled in the arts and crafts. Therefore, the changing work environment has seen a significant demand for women and men with a career-focused education whose abilities stand out in the arts and crafts - just like Cosmetology and Esthetics.

In the theatre world, if you want to achieve the highest of accolades - performing on the Broadway or London stages --it's no longer good enough to have one exceptional talent - either acting or singing or dancing. In theatrical jargon, to consistently win roles in the highly competitive world of live theatre, you need to be a Triple Threat - an exceptional actor and singer and dancer.

Adam Federico is truly a Triple Threat in the beauty industry. He's the owner/manager, Artistic Director, and head educator at the venerable AJF Salon in Sacramento. Adam also serves as the Creative Director at the third-generation, family-owned Federico Beauty Institute.

If Adam's education track had been at a traditional, four-year college, he would certainly have earned his Master's Degree - perhaps a double Master's -- by now.

The descriptive phrase, "mom and pop" has been used for decades to describe a privately-held, family-owned business characterized by strong local community ties and a high level of personal customer service. The phrase, however, too often carries a negative connotation - small business - with all the perceived limitations inherent in those words.

Federico Beauty Institute (FBI) can surely be classified as a "mom and pop" business. The Sacramento-based beauty school, founded in 1942 by James Federico, is a private, family-owned business currently operated by the third generation of the Federico family.

But that's where the comparison ends. Two of the world's leading beauty industry giants have recognized the school's commitment to the highest standards in beauty education and designated Federico as a Wella Signature School and a Pivot Point International Member School...(more)

Although Lauren always knew she wanted to go to beauty school, she also felt it was important to experience college life. Lauren attended University of Colorado, Boulder for two years before pursuing her dream to become a hair stylist.

Lauren enrolled in an 1800-hour Cosmetology program at a franchise school in the Denver area. But a third of the way through the program, Lauren knew the school was not right for her. However, Lauren observed very quickly that the school's curriculum didn't include materials or student exercises on what it takes to pass the State Boards (Licensure is a requirement to practice Cosmetology in most States)...

One salon owner says, "We've actually seen an increase in clientele asking for facials and massages. People seem to be taking care of themselves even more, now that things are looking a little grim". People may be cutting back on big ticket items such as automobiles, homes, and travel, but they are more than willing to reach into their wallets for beauty services that span the spectrum from hair highlights to a trip to the day spa.

While jobs are scarce in many sectors, beauty professionals are still in high demand.
More than 1.6 million U.S. workers are employed in the beauty industry, with a hot market for skilled cosmetologists especially on the West Coast, as almost 70 percent of California salon owners say they were unable to find qualified applicants. This means jobs are immediately available for talented salon professionals.. (more)
