Job prospects for personal care and service workers (a broad category that includes everything from hairstylists, cosmetologists, and manicurists, to childcare workers, fitness trainers, and funeral service workers) are expected to grow much faster than average for all careers from 2018 to 2028, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The job outlook for image consultants will not be as strong because the field is small and many people want to become consultants.
Image consultants that have extensive experience in the field (especially working with large corporations) and certification will have the best job prospects.
