Recognition and Improvement of the Master Craftsman Cosmetology System

With diverse changes in cosmetology industry, there has been a rising demand for more professional knowledge and cosmetologist license level among cosmetologists. Among cosmetologist licenses, the highest license is ‘master craftsman cosmetology’ which is earned by skilled cosmetologists. Even though ‘master craftsman cosmetology’ requires a decent amount of money and efforts, it’s been little used in practice. As a result, the license holders haven’t been properly treated. This study reviewed qualification systems in cosmetology by changes in industrial structure and cosmetology environments and examined the concept & construction, problems and improvement direction of the master craftsman cosmetology system. It’s anticipated that the study results would help cosmetologists understand ‘master craftsman cosmetology’ and its current status, envision their future and prepare a master craftsman cosmetology test.
