Turn Beauty Skills into a Thriving Business
Reason #4 to Become a Cosmetologist: Entrepreneurial Opportunities
If you've ever dreamed of being your own boss, cosmetology might be your path forward.
Many beauty professionals go on to open their own salons, build freelance businesses, or create brands that reflect their unique style. It’s a career that blends creativity with independence—and it starts with a strong foundation.
Why Cosmetology Is a Growing Profession
Reason #3 to Become a Cosmetologist: It’s an In-Demand Profession.
Beauty isn’t a trend...it’s a daily part of life. From everyday grooming to special occasions, people rely on skilled cosmetologists to help them feel confident and cared for.
That’s why this industry keeps growing. Cosmetologists are needed in salons, spas, bridal teams, photo shoots, film sets, and everywhere in between. A career in beauty isn’t just creative - it’s steady.
We prepare students for a career that’s both fulfilling and in demand.
Cosmetology: A Career of Endless Growth
Reason #2 to Become a Cosmetologist: Continuous Learning & Growth
In the world of beauty, there’s always something new to learn. From cutting-edge techniques to evolving trends, the cosmetology field offers endless opportunities to grow and refine your skills.
At LeGrand Institute of Cosmetology, we believe learning doesn’t stop at graduation. Whether it’s advanced workshops, industry events, or specialized certifications, our students are prepared to keep growing long after they leave the classroom.
Be Uniquely You in the Beauty Industry
Reason #1 to Become a Cosmetologist: Expressing Individuality
In cosmetology, creativity isn’t just encouraged—it’s essential. At LeGrand, we believe in helping future professionals tap into what makes them unique. From setting trends to experimenting with style, cosmetologists get to express themselves and empower others to do the same.
If you’ve got a bold vision and a love for transformation, this might just be your calling.

Rinse Before the Pool
Summer in South Carolina means long days at the beach, pool parties with friends, and plenty of time soaking up the sun. But while you're protecting your skin with SPF, don't forget your hair needs some love too—especially before you jump into the pool or ocean. One of the easiest (and most overlooked) summer hair care tips? Rinse your hair with clean water before swimming.
