COSMOTOLOGY SCHOOLS OR COSMETOLOGY SCHOOLS?

Isn't it spelled "cosmotology," not "cosmetology?"

The correct spelling is cosmetology (cosme), but the word is commonly misspelled as cosmotology (cosmo). There is no difference between cosmetology and the often misspelled "cosmotology." 

Why is this?

The most logical explanation is probably due to the word cosmopolitan which begins with "cosmo." Particularly for people who follow and read about beauty, fashion, and cosmetics, this confusion most likely results from the long-standing fashion magazine with the same name, Cosmopolitan. The magazine covers topics about the latest trends and styles in fashion and beauty, so it's easy to understand where people would confuse "cosmopolitan" with cosmetology, or "cosmotology."

The definition of cosmopolitan is "common to the world" or "from many different parts of the world," so maybe it's not too far off from the exciting, rewarding world of cosmetology!
