Can you really make a career from TikTok beauty trends?

Hey there future beauty pro 👋

Let’s be real—if you’re anything like us, you’ve probably spent more time than you’d like to admit
scrolling through TikTok. Whether it’s heatless curl tutorials, skincare hacks, or jaw-dropping
transformations, TikTok has become a major player in the beauty world.
But here’s the big question we hear all the time:
Can you actually turn those trends into a career?

The answer is YES… if you know how to take that passion and turn it into professional skill.
Beauty Trends Go Viral for a Reason
TikTok has done something amazing—it’s made beauty education and inspiration available to everyone.
Just one scroll can introduce you to dozens of new techniques, tools, and trends. Remember the
**heatless curls trend using a bathrobe tie? That one blew up because it was creative, easy, and made
people feel good. Or how about the faux freckles and glass-skin skincare routines that totally shifted
how people view natural beauty?

These trends spark curiosity—and for many people, they ignite a passion. That passion is powerful. It’s
what brings so many of our students through our doors.
But watching Isn’t the same as doing.
Let’s say you’ve tried some of these looks at home. Maybe your friends ask you to do their makeup or
style their hair. That’s awesome! But the truth is, to turn this into a career, you’ll need more than a
TikTok tutorial.

And that’s where we come in.

At TSPA we turn that interest into real-world skill. We teach the techniques
behind the trends, the safety and science of services, and how to personalize looks for different clients.
You’ll learn about skin types, sanitation, face shapes, color theory, and the business side of the
industry—stuff that doesn’t always make it into a 60-second video
TikTok can inspire you—but school can prepare you
We love that so many trends get people thinking creatively. But beauty school gives you the foundation
to do it all with confidence and professionalism. And guess what? That’s what sets the pros apart from
the influencers.

Here’s what you get in school that TikTok can’t always teach you:
– Structured education from licensed professionals
– Hands-on practice with real clients
– Feedback to help you grow and improve
– Career guidance and support
– Licensing prep to meet your state’s requirements

Plus, we even talk about things like *how to build your personal brand online*—so if you want to
combine what you’re learning with TikTok, we say go for it! We’re all about helping you stand out.
In addition – Beauty school doesn’t just give you skills—it gives you credibility. In a world full of opinions,
tutorials, and viral “hacks,” your education sets you apart as someone who actually knows what they’re
talking about. You leave beauty school with more than a license—you leave with real knowledge, handson
experience, and the confidence to speak with authority. Whether you’re creating content, consulting
with a client, or even teaching others someday, that foundation makes you more than just a beauty
enthusiast—it makes you a trusted voice in the industry. And that’s something not everyone has. You
become the person people turn to for advice, insight, and inspiration. That’s powerful—and it starts
here.

Real-Life Example: Mikayla Nogueira
You might know Mikayla Nogueira as the TikTok makeup queen with the Boston accent and killer lashes.
But before she had millions of followers, she studied cosmetology. Her beauty school experience helped
her build the skill and confidence to show up online with authority—and that foundation has turned into
brand deals, speaking gigs, and major influence.

Real-Life Example: Brad Mondo
Brad Mondo didn’t just wake up one day with a viral hair reaction channel. He spent years in the
industry, trained professionally, and worked behind the chair before jumping on social media. Now, he
combines his knowledge with entertainment—and teaches a whole new generation of stylists (and nonstylists)
through his content.
What do both Mikayla and Brad have in common?
They used education and experience as the base—and TikTok as the amplifier.

There’s Room for You, Too
You don’t have to be famous to succeed in beauty. You just have to be passionate, open to learning, and
willing to put in the work. We’ve seen students graduate and go on to:
– Build a successful TikTok or Instagram presence
– Work with brands behind the scenes
– Style for weddings, photoshoots, or backstage events
– Open their own businesses
– Teach others through content or workshops

Whether or not you want to be on social media, the skills you gain in beauty school are flexible and
powerful.
Still Not Sure? That’s Okay.
It’s normal to feel unsure about your next step—especially when you’re just starting to figure things out.
But if you love beauty, find yourself inspired by trends, or are always that friend doing everyone’s hair or
brows… this might be more than just a hobby.
Beauty school is a place where creativity becomes career. Where a passion turns into a paycheck. And
where you stop watching the trends and start setting them. How exciting!
