"I am always trying to challenge myself to explore hair and makeup styles that make me a better cosmetologist. Keeping up with latest trends and be at the forefront of fashion is a great challenge for me."

Are you new to color? Do you have trouble with ethnic hairstyles? How do you feel about client interactions? Doing hair can be one of the most fun and challenging aspects of working as a cosmetologist. If you are new to the career, you may still feel a little shaky about making conversation with your clients. You may feel nervous about creating certain styles or big changes on a person. As you talk with the interviewer, explain the challenge but focus on what you're doing to overcome it. When you're new, it can be hard to have confidence in your skills. Practice makes all the difference! Answer with confidence about what you already know and then reassure them you are working on perfecting those areas where you're not as strong.
