What is the difference between Cosmetology, Esthetician and Cosmetology?

Hi Mudit, Cosmetology is an area of study and a career that focuses on hair, skin, and nails. Cosmetologists can do both hair and nails, or focus their careers in one area. In comparison, esthetics focuses on skin care only. An esthetician is not qualified to perform pedicures, cut hair, or work with hair chemicals. With additional training and education a cosmetologist can also be an esthetician. However, estheticians are generally not cosmetologists. Most states require separate licensing for each career. Estheticians have advanced training, experience, and education in facial treatments, skin treatments, the application of various kinds of make-up, waxing and other hair removal techniques.
