ROSEL SCHOOL OF COSMETOLOGY LICENSING REQUIREMENTS, PHYSICAL DEMANDS, SAFETY REQUIREMENTS, EMPLOYMENT FIGURES AND OUTLOOK, AND COMPENSATION IN THE COSMETOLOGY INDUSTRY AS OF 2005 LICENSING REQUIREMENTS (ILLINOIS) To become a licensed cosmetologist in the state of Illinois, you must: 1. Successfully complete 1500 hours of cosmetology training from a licensed cosmetology school. 2. Successfully pass the written State Board examination for cosmetology licensure with a score of 75% or higher. PHYSICAL DEMANDS IN THE COSMETOLOGY INDUSTRY Cosmetology is a rewarding and exciting career. However, it is a career that requires much stamina, motivation and physical energy. A cosmetologist s working day will involve many hours of standing on his or her feet.

Cosmetologists also face the risk of exposure of numerous different chemicals that are necessary to perform certain services. The chemicals and fumes can be hazardous and can irritate the lungs, eyes and skin. Communicable diseases are also a risk factor, since the cosmetologist must work in direct physical contact with the client. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS No matter where the setting for a cosmetologist s job may be, adequate lighting and ventilation are essential. The proper sanitary handling of each client is of the utmost importance to prevent disease transmission, and because of the nature of cosmetology services. Proper sanitation requirements taught in cosmetology school must always be practiced. Only clean and sanitized capes and towels are to be used on clients. All disposable materials used on clients must be replaced with new materials for each client. Implements must all be properly disinfected prior to use on each client. Latex gloves must be worn at all times when handling chemicals to protect the skin. Cosmetologists must clean and disinfect their hands and arms and all implements after servicing each client to prevent communicable diseases. EMPLOYMENT FIGURES & OUTLOOK FOR THE COSMETOLOGY INDUSTRY According to a survey conducted by LMP Associates for NACCAS (National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts & Sciences), in 1996, 1,345,000 professionals worked in the salon industry. About half or 672,500 were full-time, experienced to open their own salons or to rent booths and become independent contractors. In 1996, there were 285,000 salon establishments in the U.S., serving an average of 172 clients per week. The typical salon is now a unisex salon with three or fewer stations. According to this survey, the salon industry continues to offer good job opportunities approximately 390,000 positions were available. One reason for the good employment prospects is due to the high employee turnover rate in salons. Inexperienced people filled one-fourth of the cosmetology job openings in 1996. EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION IN THE COSMETOLOGY INDUSTRY The NACCAS survey report favorable trends in compensation for cosmetologists. The average salary for a full-time employee in 1996 was $32,000 including tips. This figure is up $6000 from the average salary for cosmetologists in 1991, which was only $26,000 annually. 2011 Completion Rate: Students scheduled to complete in 2011-49 Students who actually completed in 2011-42 85.71%

2011 Placement Rate: Students who actually completed in 2011-35 Students who actually found employment - 25 71.73% 2011 Licensure Rate: Students who first set for the exam - 20 Students who passed the exam - 15 75.00% NACCAS Standard I require an institution to meet or exceed the following measures of student success: 50% completion; 60% placement; 70% licensure
