Careers in Cosmetology worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to match each job description with the correct title.

We’ll read each numbered description and find which lettered title fits best.

---

1. performs all the services offered in the salon
→ This is someone who does hair, maybe nails, makeup — everything a salon offers. That’s typically called a salon stylist.
✔ Match: D. Salon stylist

---

2. creates color formulations and techniques
→ This person specializes in hair color — mixing dyes, creating new shades, teaching coloring methods. That’s a hair color specialist.
✔ Match: G. hair color specialist

---

3. changes the hair's texture
→ Think perms, relaxers, keratin treatments — these change how curly or straight hair is. The specialist for this is called a texture service specialist.
✔ Match: I. texture service specialist

---

4. creates hairstyles by adding or replacing hair
→ This means wigs, extensions, weaves — adding hair to create styles. So it’s the wig/extensions specialist.
✔ Match: J. Wig/ extensions

---

5. treats the look and health of the skin
→ Facials, acne treatment, anti-aging — that’s what an esthetician or skin care specialist does.
✔ Match: H. skin care specialist / esthetician

---

6. applies cosmetics to enhance appearance
→ Makeup! Blush, lipstick, eyeshadow — that’s done by a makeup artist.
✔ Match: C. makeup artist

---

8. oversees all aspects of business operations
→ Running the whole salon — hiring, money, supplies, scheduling — that’s the salon owner. (Note: #7 is missing in the list, but we skip to #8.)
✔ Match: B. salon owner

---

9. Educator who performs techniques at major hair events
→ Someone who teaches AND demonstrates on stage at big shows? That’s a platform artist. They’re often educators too, but their main role here is performing live.
✔ Match: A. platform artist

---

10. One who trains others
→ Purely focused on teaching — not necessarily doing client work or showing off on stage. That’s an educator.
✔ Match: E. educator

---

Wait — let’s double-check if any are left unmatched.

Leftover titles:
We used: D, G, I, J, H, C, B, A, E → that’s 9 matches.

But there are 10 descriptions? Let’s count again:

Descriptions listed:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 → that’s only 9 items! Wait — looking back at the original:

Actually, in the image text you provided, after #6 comes #8 — so #7 is skipped. But then #9 and #10 follow. So total = 9 descriptions? No — wait:

Looking again:

You wrote:

> ___ 1. ...
> ___ 2. ...
> ___ 3. ...
> ___ 4. ...
> ___ 5. ...
> ___ 6. ...
> ___ 8. ... ← skips 7
> ___ 9. ...
> ___ 10. ...

That’s 9 descriptions? But actually, counting them: 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10 → that’s 9 lines. But the answer choices go from A to J → 10 options.

Wait — perhaps #7 was accidentally omitted in your transcription? Or maybe in the original worksheet, #7 exists?

Hold on — re-examining your input:

In your message, under “___ 6.” it says:

> ___ 6. applies cosmetics to enhance appearance
> ___ 8. oversees all aspects of business operations esthetician ← wait, this line seems misaligned.

Actually, looking closely:

After #6, it says:

> ___ 8. oversees all aspects of business operations
> esthetician ← this might be part of #5? Or a typo?

Wait — no, in your original text:

It says:

> ___ 5. treats the look and health of the skin
> ___ 6. applies cosmetics to enhance appearance
> ___ 8. oversees all aspects of business operations
> esthetician ← this word "esthetician" appears below #8? That doesn’t make sense.

Actually, rereading your input carefully:

You have:

> ___ 5. treats the look and health of the skin
> ___ 6. applies cosmetics to enhance appearance
> ___ 8. oversees all aspects of business operations
> esthetician ← this is likely meant to be part of option H: “H. skin care specialist / esthetician” — which we already matched to #5.

Then:

> ___ 9. Educator who performs techniques at major hair events
> specialist ← again, probably continuation of #9? But #9 already says “Educator who performs...”, and “specialist” may be dangling.

And:

> ___ 10. One who trains others
> specialist ← same thing? Probably just formatting issue.

So despite the messy layout, we have 9 descriptions: numbers 1–6, then 8–10.

But wait — that can’t be right because there are 10 answer choices (A–J). And typically such worksheets have 10 items.

Ah! Looking again — in your original text, after #6, it says:

> ___ 8. oversees all aspects of business operations
> esthetician ← this might actually be #7? Maybe a numbering error?

Wait — perhaps the line:

> ___ 8. oversees all aspects of business operations
> esthetician

is actually two separate things? Unlikely.

Alternatively, maybe “esthetician” under #8 is a mistake, and #7 is missing.

But let’s assume the descriptions are correctly numbered as given: 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10 → 9 items.

But we have 10 answer choices. So one choice won’t be used? Or did we miss one?

Wait — look at description #9:

> ___ 9. Educator who performs techniques at major hair events
> specialist ← this “specialist” might be intended to complete the phrase? Like “platform specialist”? But no — the title is “platform artist”.

Similarly, #10:

> ___ 10. One who trains others
> specialist ← again, probably just trailing text.

Perhaps the actual number of descriptions is 10, and #7 is implied? Or maybe in the original image, #7 exists?

Given the constraints, and since you transcribed it as having descriptions 1–6, then 8–10, I think we must proceed with 9 matches.

But wait — let’s recount the answer choices:

A. platform artist
B. salon owner
C. makeup artist
D. Salon stylist
E. educator
G. hair color specialist
H. skin care specialist / esthetician
I. texture service specialist
J. Wig/ extensions

That’s 9 letters? A,B,C,D,E,G,H,I,J → missing F? Yes! There’s no F in the list. So 9 options.

List: A, B, C, D, E, G, H, I, J → that’s 9.

So 9 descriptions, 9 answers. Perfect.

Our matches:

1 → D
2 → G
3 → I
4 → J
5 → H
6 → C
8 → B
9 → A
10 → E

All accounted for.

Now, write the final answer as pairs.

Final Answer:
1-D, 2-G, 3-I, 4-J, 5-H, 6-C, 8-B, 9-A, 10-E
