Caryn hi. Are you looking to get into the cosmetics industry as in creating your own cosmetics line or are you looking to get into cosmetology as in doing hair and nails? I would love to give you advice on this however I just wanted to make sure which direction you were trying to go with your career path.

A cosmetologist requires a license to practice in the United States. Most folks in the profession start by going to a professional school. A list of cosmotology schools that may exist in your area is here: https://successfulstudent.org/best-cosmetology-programs/.
The school takes 8-12 months to complete. You'll need to take a state board license exam and then you'll be able to work professionally.
