All of the following are reasons for cosmetologists to study hair removal EXCEPT:

• Learning hair removal techniques enables cosmetologists to perform state-of-the-art hair removal treatments, a service that increases revenue because of its high demand.

• By adding hair removal services, cosmetologists can offer clients multiple services during a single visit, which improves client satisfaction, leads to more bookings, and generates more income.

• Cosmetologists who understand hair removal contraindications can perform hair removal services without physician approval, which means they can treat more clients and earn more money.

• Because hair removal techniques evolve slowly, cosmetologists can devote more time to providing services that generate income instead of spending those hours in additional skills training.
