Sample
Beautician Cover Letter
Training, certification, experience and a solid client base are
extremely important in the cosmetology field, which is often filled
with a large pool of competition. When applying for a position as a
cosmetologist
or beautician it is imperative that you let the employer know exactly
what you can bring to his or her salon.
The candidate in the sample beautician cover letter below does this
with ease. She opens the cover letter by mentioning how she learned of
the position and then dives right in to let the employer know why she
is ideal for the job. First, she mentions her many years of experience
as a successful cosmetologist.
Then she mentions that she has a solidly developed
clientele,
which will mean additional business for the salon if she is selected as
the successful candidate. She concludes her second paragraph by
describing her work philosophy and what she believes has contributed to
her success-the same qualities she can bring to the employer in order
to stimulate their business.

Dear Ms. Matthews:
I would like to apply for the senior cosmetologist position you
advertised recently in the Houston Chronicle. As requested,
my resume is enclosed.
When I reviewed your advertisement, I thought you were describing the
exact position I have been seeking. As my resume indicates, I
have been a successful cosmetologist for several years and have
developed a high-fashion oriented clientele.
I believe that my success is based on investing the time to learn
what's new in the business and on my willingness to work closely with
my clients to determine the exact look they want. I think
these are qualifications necessary for a senior cosmetologist.
As you know, A Cut Above Salon is considered "top of the line" in
Houston. I would be honored to be part of your team and hope
to have the opportunity to meet or talk with you soon.
Respectfully yours,
Lexie Bennet
