What do school counselors really think about beauty as a career? 🎓✂️
For the fourth consecutive year, the Pivot Point Research Team and Beauty Cast Network surveyed counselors at the American School Counselor Association Conference to better understand how perceptions of career education—and beauty careers specifically—are evolving.
The 2026 findings continue to reinforce an important message: careers in hairdressing, barbering, nails, skincare and massage are viable, rewarding pathways that deserve to be recognized alongside traditional college degrees.
The research also highlights an opportunity to better equip counselors with the information and resources they need to confidently guide students interested in beauty and wellness careers.
Explore the latest findings and what they mean for the future of beauty as a career. 👇

What makes a demonstration memorable isn’t always the technique.
Sometimes it’s the laugh, the story, the unexpected moment, or simply the personality of the educator delivering it.
That’s the idea behind edutainment—using fun, humor, and authentic personality to make learning more engaging and memorable.
You don’t have to become an entertainer.
Just be authentically you.
And with that, we’ve reached the final E in our ENGAGE demonstration series! 🎉
💬 Which part of ENGAGE are you most excited to bring into your next demonstration?
🤝 Share this with another educator who could use a little more edutainment in their classroom!
