Beauty School Trend Watch: Chemical Peels

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 1 million chemical peels were performed in 2006. Many of us have heard about this esthetic procedure, but beauty school listings takes a closer look at what’s under the surface of the chemical peel procedure. Chemical peel‘s are conducted for 3 primary reasons; lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation problems. In other words to reverse the physical evidence of the aging process. So what contributes to the wrinkles, lines, pigmentation of our skin?

• tobacco use
• excessive alcohol
• lack of exercise
• poor stress management
• lack of rest
• improper diet

Chemical peels have existed since the beginning of time. There are tales of Cleopatra using spoiled goat milk on her face, and little did she know that she was in reality using lactic acid to peel away a layer of her face to give a more youthful appearance. Now adays, there are 3 levels of chemical peels light, intermediate, and deep. Why choose chemical peel vs. laser? A laser will leave the skin exposed as well as the nerves which is very painful and runs the risk of infection.

How does one cash in on the chemical peel frenzy?  The first step is beauty school.  The skin-care specialist who performs skin treatments such as chemical peels must be a licensed esthetician. Beauty schools offer classes  to fullfill the state requirements for licensure which varies from state to state. If the art of skin treatments and the miracles of modern science appeals to you, then you should consider applying for  beauty school, the first step in your career as an esthetician.

Licensing vs. Certification

When pursuing a career in cosmetology, first step is always beauty school.  Once the required hours are completed at beauty school, the next step is to apply for your license. Beauty school students often are unclear when differentiating between licensing and certification. Certification is beneficial to your cosmetology career but licensing is essential. Although license requirements differ from state to state, a cosmetology license is offered, enforced, and regulated by a state government agency. They decide who is eligible, what services they are able to provide, and what title they hold under that particular license.

Professional Certification in the industry is considered to be universal. The process results in the individual being recognized by a non-governmental organization for extensive knowledge and master skills in a particular area. Certification may require a written and/or demonstration of skills and expertise.

Beauty School Update: Non-surgical procedures on the rise

Beauty school is typically known for cosmetology licenses, such as hair, make-up, massage therapy, and nail technology. But today’s beauty school has been expanded to include the latest trends in the beauty school industry. The latest trend by consumers seeking cosmetic treatments is non surgical procedures, laser treatments especially. Laser treatments are used for a variety of reasons hair removal, scar tissue removal, facial and body contouring, and most recently liposuction. Beauty schools have seen an increase in students requesting classes to be certified as a laser technician. Another recession proof job for beauty school students and potential beauty school students seeing as non-surgical procedures have surpassed surgical procedures and continues to increase each year.

The ASAPS (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) reports there were 10.2 million cosmetic procedures in 2008. Of that 10.2 million, 2.5 million were Botox injections. most recently on the scene is a “cold laser” liposuction treatment that requires no surgery, medication, incisions, pain, or recovery. The laser breaks up fat tissue which is dispelled through the body’s normal detoxification process. The procedure can be done on your lunch break and typically requires 6 treatments total. What will they think of next?

Beauty School Graduate Profile: Melissa from So-California

Beauty school graduate Melissa from So-Cali sits down with beautyschoolslistings.com to share her experience. Mel also has a few words of advice for you future beauty school attendees

1. What inspired you to attend beauty school?

I wanted to do hair since I was a kid.

2. How did you choose which  beauty school to attend?

I was on a waiting list and I found out I got into beauty school the day before school started. I chose the beauty school closest to me. I believe it cost around $2000 with the kit.

3. What  beauty school license did you choose as a specialty?

My area of study is hair. I am also working one day a week at a Dr.’s doing facials

4. How long did beauty school take you to complete?

It took me just over a year to complete beauty school. I went to esthetician school a few years before so I had hours that were added to my cosmetology hours. My beauty school classes were in the evening and Saturday class so it took a little longer.
5.What were the highs and lows of your beauty school experience, any advice for future beauty school students?

Highs would be finally enjoying school and making friends that I still have today. Lows would be pedicures and the last few weeks of school counting down the days until your last clock out. Advice would be to not give up.
Highs would be great money, clients you become very close to, making your own schedule when you go on rent. Lows would be sitting around when you first start out, picky clients (they will be easier to deal with with more experience). Job placement was easy. I assisted for a few months and started working at the mall where there were a lot of walk ins. Now I pay rent each week at a salon. I wish I knew to stay at the first salon for one more year to build more clients.

Advice I would give would be to make sure you pick the right salon. It should be in a good location like a busy shopping center. Also interview the owner just as they are interviewing you. Ask alot of Questions. One of the worst things you can do is to change salons. You will always lose some clients and you don’t want your clients to think anything negative. Also always be on time with a smile.

Beauty School: Eye Make-up

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and beauty schools nationwide offer classes which cover the art, application, and product selection of eye make-up. Stacie, a beauty school student in Dallas, focuses on the eyes as the center piece to her make-up applications.  So beauty school divas, would you be surprised  at the brands, colors, and products beauty school clients prefer?  Ladies you have spoken, and the top brands used for eye make-up include Bobbi Brown, MAC, and Origins. Beauty school students here is what your future clients have to say about their favorites:

Pattie from So-Cal had this to say about her favorite eye shadow M.A.C. pigments “they are fun and I wear them all the time. I like them because you can either wear them as every day make up by using a light application or you can do a more dramatic look and use heavier amount. Also you can use it for your lips and cheeks too!”

Courtney, an elementary school teacher in Houston, TX said this about MAC, “I also love Mac makeup.  I use it on my eyes, my face powder, concealer, and blush. There is this cream that I put on my eyes that helps hold the eye shadow on.  It works great!”

Dana, a waitress in Denver CO said her must-have is Bobbi Brown’s Corrector. ” BB Corrector works miracles for evening out skin tones and dark circles under the eyes, and is long lasting too!”

Amber, a salon owner in Montana, says that she can’t live with-out Lancome Defencils Mascara. ” I know $25.00 is on the high-end for make-up but it’s totally worth it”Nikki, a dental hygienist from Frisco Texas is faithful to her Origins line of cosmetics. ” For years now I’ve been complimented on my skin and how great it looks which I guess is from the Origins but honestly……I love the smell!”

These “must-have” products can be found at major department stores, Sephora, brand retail locations, and of course online. They range from $22.00

-$32.00 but ask our beauty school divas, they are worth it!
