Headlines Academy

Beauty & Wellness Career Pathways

Headlines Academy is a practical education resource for anyone exploring training pathways in the beauty and wellness industries. The goal is simple: help students and working professionals understand the landscape—what each discipline covers, what skills matter, and where safety and licensing fit into real-world practice.

Beauty education is not just technique. It includes sanitation standards, client consultation, documentation habits, and ongoing skill refinement. Many careers begin in a broad program (cosmetology, esthetics, nail technology, massage therapy) and later narrow into specialties such as advanced brow work and permanent cosmetics.

Career Tracks at a Glance

• Cosmetology & Hair Design — cutting, coloring, styling, chemical services, client care.
• Esthetics & Skin Care — skin fundamentals, treatments, equipment safety, client education.
• Nail Technology — manicure/pedicure, product knowledge, sanitation systems, service workflow.
• Massage & Bodywork — anatomy basics, therapeutic methods, ethics and scope of practice.
• Specialty Practice — focused techniques that often require extra training and careful risk management.

Note Licensing and permitted scope vary by jurisdiction. Always verify requirements with your state board or local regulator.
