The Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals conducted a survey in 2012, which determined that most permanent cosmetic makeup artists originally started their careers in cosmetology, esthetics and skin care, nail technology, tattooing, nursing, electrology and laser hair removal, or medicine. About 30% of the respondents indicated that they continue to work as estheticians, and 25% said they continue to work as cosmetologists in addition to permanent cosmetics. This suggests that many individuals pursue an education in permanent cosmetics as a way to add value to their beauty services and augment their income.

The same survey concluded that Permanent Cosmetic Technicians work in:

  • Full-service or multi-faceted salons
  • Doctor’s or dermatologist’s offices
  • Day spas
  • Tattoo studios
  • Electrolysis clinics
  • Massage therapy clinics
