Beauty School is like having a friend w/benefits…almost!

Beauty School Benefits go beyond training. Beauty Schools provide opportunity, security, and profitability for the high school graduate, or the Graduate Record Exam, and the best place to find the best beauty school for you is here, at Beauty Schools Listings.com. I interviewed a successful beauty school graduate recently who chose a career as a hair stylist upon graduation from beauty school because she felt good about the happiness she brought her clients as their hair stylist. That was her reason for attending beauty college in the first place, to make her clients happy.

Even though she had a talent for cutting and coloring her clients’ hair, she wasn’t confident in dealing with the rare unhappy client…and that’s when she fell back on the training she received at her beauty school. The training you receive at beauty school is not limited to the techniques and logistical curriculum. Beauty schools also prepare you for managerial attributes needed when interacting with clients, marketing, and sales. These classes are beneficial not only to a career in cosmetology but to any field.

Winter Wonderland of dry skin!

admin — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:42:26 +0000

Its that time of year again where the leaves fall off the trees, the remnants of your summer tan lays on the esthitician’s floor after an exfoliation treatment you are treating yourself to at the local beauty school in hopes to scrub away thew Winter Wonderland Skin blues!

That’s right people, times are tough! I have abandoned my wallet as my financial freedoms have abandoned me. My hot pink nail polish the nail technician so artistically painted with a gem design for the final touches, is chipped and faded, a daily reminder of how this economy is a death sentence for cosmetology treats, manis & pedis, and my long lost friend Mr. Massage. I forget what it feels like to have a massage therapist work methodically on the knots that have developed in my right shoulder blade from a crazy day of texting in the nail salon.

In the midst of my self-pity party for the glory days of hair-stylists, estheticians, nail salons, and spa treatments….I realized that although times have never been so tough, I have still managed to Mcguyver my way into a cosmetology type appointment one way or another. Which made me realize the security for jobs in the beauty industry, and now I’m considering securing my future by pursuing an education from my local cosmetology school.

As a cosmetologist, you have the opportunity to use your beauty school education, beauty school knowledge, and beauty school techniques to help your clients get the most out of those billions of dollars they are spending on products.

The following are just a few beauty school tips to pass along to your client…

beauty schools on eyebrows- use an astringent soaked cotton ball and rub the brow area prior to plucking or tweezing.

beauty schools on red pimples- Visine eye drops may be applied to reduce redness of blemishes before applying concealer.

beauty schools on lips- prepare your delicate lips with a generous slick of lip balm in advance. A great way to condition the lips which will make your lipstick application go on smoothly and look incredible.

admin — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 05:49:24 +0000

Massage therapy is one of the oldest healing arts: Chinese records dating back 3,000 years document its use; the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage therapy for many ailments; and Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. Today, the benefits of massage therapy are varied and far-reaching. As an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs, massage therapy has also proven beneficial for many chronic conditions, including

low back pain
arthritis
bursitis
fatigue
high blood pressure
diabetes
immunity suppression
infertility
smoking cessation
depression

and more. And, as many millions will attest, massage therapy also helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday living that can lead to disease and illness.

Many cosmetology schools offer training in various massage therapy techniques, with courses ranging from beginning to advanced levels of instruction, as well as continuing education. Seminars on specific techniques, business practices and other relevant subjects are often conducted at massage therapy schools or are taught independently at other facilities.

Permanent Make-up: to ink or not to ink?

admin — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:05:44 +0000

Make-up application is one thing….but permanent make-up, do I really want to look like I have make-up on ALL the time? What is the benefit of using permanent make-up?
Permanent make-up can be useful for women who wish to wear make-up, but cannot apply it easily because of reasons such as:

a handicap or disability that restricts their mobility
blindness or a severe loss of vision
Carpal Tunnel
suffering from the side-effects of medication that makes their hands shake
restrictions of precise movement due to arthritis or multiple sclerosis

Permanent make-up may also be used to camouflage scarring on the face or other parts of the body.

Permanent make-up involves using tattoos as a way of creating the same effects as cosmetics. With a touch of artistic flair, a firm hand and specialized training, those studying permanent make-up will learn the most effective techniques for eyebrow simulation, lash enhancement, eye-lining, creating beauty marks, lip-lining and lip-staining. Many permanent make-up artists enjoy the flexibility of owning their own business.

Esthetician: skin-care specialists for the entire body

admin — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 05:22:34 +0000

Estheticians, also called skin care therapists, work in salons, day spas, and medi-spas. Estheticians are trained in the cosmetic treatment of the skin. They perform various cosmetic procedures including facials, body treatments, and waxing. Most estheticians offer a variety of specialty spa treatments.
All estheticians must be licensed in the state in which they work. They must complete 260 to 600 hours of training (depending on the state) and pass both a written and a practical, or hands-on, exam.

A good esthetician also completes many hours of post-graduate education, and strives to stay in tuned with the latest developments in skin care.

Estheticians are not medical doctors and therefore can’t diagnose skin conditions, prescribe medications, or suggest treatment for any skin condition outside of cosmetic products. They can, however, perform treatment complementary to a doctor’s treatment. Some estheticians may work closely with dermatologists, either in-office or through a referral system.Estheticians, also called skin care therapists, work in salons, day spas, and medi-spas.

Beauty School Students get a piece of the $160 billion pie!

admin — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 07:50:43 +0000

The beauty industry is a $160 billion-a-year global industry, encompassing make-up, skin and hair care, fragrances, cosmetic surgery, health clubs and diet pills. Americans spend more each year on beauty than they do on education. Thus there are lot of opportunities for those enrolling in beauty school. We are talking a matter of months not years for you to cash in on the consumer’s market of choice to spend their dough on.

I would definitely encourage people to explore this industry as its full of creativity and fun. There are many fields to choose from cosmetology, massage therapy, skin care, barbering and several other specialities.
