Beauty School Listings: Massage Therapy

Thinking of pursuing a career in massage therapy? Here is a snap-shot of the field of massage therapy and what licensed massage therapists are saying about their career choice.

The work environment for a massage therapist can vary widely due to the large number of different settings where this type of work can be performed. Many massage therapists work in private offices while some others travel to clients’ homes or offices to do their work. In addition, therapists can also be foundin one or more of the following venues:

• hospitals
• clinics
• nursing homes
• sports facilities
• airports
• shopping malls

According to AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association) reports that the average income for massage therapists in 2007-2008 was $41.50/hr. Massage therapists worked on an average of 41 clients a month. Many massage therapists pursued their massage therapy education for supplemental income, in fact 82% of individuals polled use massage therapy as a second career. So how do you get in on all the action?

First step is to select a school to attend and obtain the required hours of instruction to meet state certification criteria for the state you are in. AMTA’s survey revealed the average number hours spent for massage therapy‘s initial training was 633.

Individuals use massage therapy for a number of reasons that may include stress alleviation, athletic injuries, holistic healing, immunity, physical therapy to name a few.  Massage therapy is a great career choice or profession for supplemental income. You book your own clients, at the time you want, at the place you want which allows you the freedom to partake in other things.

Beauty Schools Listings Update: Estheticians, skincare specialists, do you fit the profile?

Skin, a.k.a epidermis, is the body’s largest organ making up our first line of defense as human beings. Skin acts as a protectant to shield for any foreign substance.
Today I had the unpleasant experience of taking a gander in the mirror and could not help but noticed what appeared to be a cluster of blemishes trespassing on my face. What? No….I’m 31…I don’t get zits anymore….right? Well apparently I do!

So is this my karma from the skincare gods since my adolescence was blemish free? The cause of this adolescent nightmare making an appearance when I’m clearly well into adulthood? There is a number of factors that play a role in the condition of your skin, such as hormones, bacteria, age, make-up, or any other products and/or moisturizers you may be applying to your face.

Urban Myth: If you have oily skin, then you should not use moisturizer because you want your skin to dry out?
FALSE….this scenario is an esthetician’s worst nightmare. Actually in attempting to dry out the skin, you would actually be increasing oil production on your skin because your skin is overcompensating for the dryness and therefore is re-enforcing the acne cycle by producing excessive oil to compensate for the dryness.

If you find this subject matter interesting, you might want to consider exploring cosmetology school. We all have “that” friend who gets giddy with excitement at the site of your misfortune….the nasty zit that has taken over your face. Like a mad skin-care scientist, they beg you to work on your face and promise you amazing results. Well guess what friends, these are the future estheticians and skin-care specialists of our cosmetic community. A career in skin-care starts with beauty school, where they put in the time required to get licensed. Requirements for estheticians vary from state to state, but the average is about 600 hours……….and OMG is it worth it.

US Bureau of Labor and Statistics reports the occupational hourly average continues to rise and last year the top paying States included Washington( I know…..I was shocked too!),California, Minnesota, and Vermont………it’s not a misprint…….. Vermont with an average salary of around $37,000/yr. Not bad for the friend whose known for “poppin’ zits”.

Tips for hair-dressers road to satisfied clients…….

Tips for hair-dressers road to satisfied clients…….

• - In a perfect world, we could all read minds and there would be no instances of miscommunication. But in this world, the cosmetology world, your clients expectations cannot be left to chance. As a hairdresser, how do you deliver satisfaction without knowing what your client expects? Perhaps they are unsure of who they want to see in the mirror after the hour they spend in your chair, but remember you are the professional and this is your field of expertise. As the hair-stylist, it is your job to help them figure it out. Hopefully, prior to the two inches of hair hitting the floor only for them later to decide they actually wanted to keep their length.
• - An important quality to have as a hair-stylist is communication. A hair-stylist can’t know what their client doesn’t tell them. This is why the consultation portion of the appointment is essential because this is where the hair-stylist receives a clear understanding of the client’s expectations. Some questions that would help a hair-stylist to deliver customer satisfaction include…..

1. What is your motivation for our appointment? Just a trim? Or are we looking for something completely different?
2. Shorter? Layers? Colors/highlights?
3. Do you have a specific style in mind? A celebrity’s inspiration?
4. Lifestyle: How much time do you have or are you willing to spend on your hair?
5. COSTS: What is the price range of options, and the cost to maintain them?

Money can be an awkward topic to discuss, but just like all the other important details of the service, the more informed the client is the less likelihood for there to be any unpleasant surprises!

The Celebrities Look

Celebrity make up

As a cosmetologist, your clients are your canvas for you to create a masterpiece. Each appointment is an opportunity for you to create a signature look. We all remember the “Jennifer Aniston-do” during her decade as “Rachel” on the hit sitcom Friends, which continues to provide Chris McMillan her stylist with a paycheck that makes the rest of us pay-check-to-pay-check people green with envy.

I hope you are sitting down while you are reading this because in March The Targeted News Service reported that Chris McMillan’s weekly paycheck to style Aniston’s hair on her European tour for “Marley & Me,” was $56,000. …….not a year but per week! I wonder what the make-up artist was paid!
