They would memorize each supplies' purpose. They would also memorize the combinations of hair dyes and other hairstyles.

Most cosmetologists work 40 hours per week on average.
Career/Job outlook:
According to my research, Employment of barbers, hairdressers, and cosmetologists is projected to grow 13 percent from 2012 to 2022, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Most job openings will result from the need to replace workers who leave the occupation.
Education and/or training required:
High school diplomas can get you a position in the salon. But some places around the world does require the cosmetologist to go to cosmetology school. Full program in cosmetology usually takes 9 months.
