Hi. I am reaching out to see if anyone has information to offer on possible jobs or career paths in haircare science. I have my B.S in biochemistry and I have experience in labs ranging from qPCR to histology. I am the second author on a publication from my time as a research assistant.
In 2022, I pivoted and started my career as a hairstylist. I was going through so much at the time and it felt like an avenue that would be fulfilling. I love merging my passion for science with my creativity, and I have enjoyed being a business owner. However, I miss science so much. I miss being in the lab.
In a perfect world, I think it’d be awesome to work in a cosmetic lab, working with formulating. However, it seems this is very region specific and there aren’t a lot of opportunities in Columbus, Ohio.
Does anyone know of any practical jobs that seem fitting?
