SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--
A new, high-definition (HD) video released by the American Association of
Cosmetology Schools showcases why careers in hair, beauty and wellness are
booming. The video, which may be viewed at www.yourbeautifulcareer.com provides
insights from students, professionals and industry veterans regarding the
benefits that careers in hair, beauty and wellness offer; including attractive
earnings, diverse work environments and entrepreneurial opportunities.

Careers in the hair, beauty and wellness industry continue to be a career of
choice. Cosmetology was recently included among a listing of top jobs reported
by the online site Yahoo! as well as U.S. News and World Reports.

Data from the U.S. Department of Labor and the National Accrediting Commission
of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences indicates that employment of cosmetologists and
skin care specialists through 2010 is projected to grow between 10 and 20
percent. Demand for nail techs is projected to grow 21 to 35 percent. Depending
upon the geographic region and course of study, hair, beauty and wellness
professionals entering the workforce can earn incomes of $50,000, excluding
tips.

"The popularity of makeover programming and a general interest in anti-aging has
made hair, beauty and wellness a very hot career choice for new entrants to the
job market as well as career changers," said Jim Cox, Executive Director of the
American Association of Cosmetology Schools. Cox noted that as many industries
have downsized workers, a new generation of career changers is discovering
opportunities in the hair, beauty and wellness industry.
