A wide range of personal image services are provided by hairstylists and cosmetologists to their clients, including cutting, coloring and maintenance of hair; manicures; facials; and makeup application. The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that this field will increase by 20 percent through 2018.
