How to become a cosmetologist

Posted at 7:47 AM • No Comments

Cosmetology education is evolving into the most opted courses for students today. The hair industry assures marvelous progression in 2010 meaning that the industry will require large number of qualified cosmetologists. National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences anticipate that employment opportunities will increase by 30 percent in 2010.

So who is called a cosmetologist and where can one gain cosmetology education?

In simple terms, a cosmetologist is an individual who performs hair-cutting, coloring, styling, manicures, pedicures, makeup, etc. either in a professional salon or as an independent consultant. One has to earn a cosmetology license to practice as a cosmetologist for which fundamental cosmetology education is essential.

Cosmetology education is primarily essential because it lays the foundation for a strong career. There are various roles that one can adopt after undergoing cosmetology education, such as Hairstylist, Manicurist, Shampooer, etc. However, it is crucial to go through primary training before deciding to specialize in a particular field.

Licensing and training requirements are separate for each of the roles mentioned above. You can check the Licensing requirements for your state by visiting the website of Beauty Schools.

As far as the educational requirements are concerned, one must have graduated from a state-licensed cosmetology school to become a licensed cosmetologist. The rules vary for different states and cosmetology courses to be studied in private beauty schools, community colleges, high schools, technical and vocational schools.

The finest way to go through training in cosmetology is by following online cosmetology education programs like The Cutting Edge Hair Show. This online TV and video education series from ScissorBoy is designed for professional hairstylists, salon owners and cosmetology students.

Hairstylists who injure their clien...

Posted at 6:20 AM • No Comments

Can a hairstylist ever injure his clients? The answer may be affirmative if we believe a recent news report from the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL). The report states that many hairdressers have a “careless attitude” towards safety of their clients, which I believe is due to lack of proper cosmetology education.

APIL has expressed concern that too many hairdressers are going into business without appropriate preparation as a result of lax regulation. The negligence of safety norms and non-compliance of standards laid down by the Hairdressing Council is causing many customers to be exposed to the risk of suffering a life-changing personal injury.

A spokeswoman from the body said: “Anyone can pick up a pair of scissors and call themselves a hairdresser, with or without training and qualifications.”

Every salon must guarantee safety for their clients by adopting safety measures and following standard practices. Sometimes, it becomes difficult to handle unstable employees but I feel this is where the need of proper cosmetology education is required.

Cosmetology education is very important for stylists as it prepares them to become better cosmetologists than merely becoming a barber or a colorist. These programs ensure overall development of an individual and make them competent in the hair industry. If a stylist finds it boring to attend personal lectures, he can opt for online cosmetology education programs. All you need is an internet connection and you can take courses any time you choose.

ScissorBoy’s Cutting Edge Hair Show is a popular online cosmetology education program. It not only provides training in hair-cutting and coloring, but also trains in salon management, sales techniques, communication skills, product and service marketing, etc. One of their episodes highlights the issue of salon safety for customers. Check it out below:

APIL have termed the current state of affairs as “absolutely shocking”, stressing on the fact that allergic reactions to dyes and other compounds can lead to “severe pain, scarring, depression and anxiety. However, after going through the above video, you must have realized the dos and the don’ts while dealing with the safety of your clients.

If you are a stylist or a cosmetology student, you should definitely subscribe to ScissorBoy’s FREE online cosmetology education program. By regularly watching the online episodes, you will learn more in 10 minutes than you can learn in 10 days by reading books!

Hair Shears to give Free Recession...

Posted at 1:13 AM • No Comments

Hair shears are often used by stylists while cutting or styling hair. However, every salon or stylist charges for their services. Come December 14th and you could be the lucky one amongst 250 people to get a Free Recession Haircut with the help of hair shears.

The current state of the economy is not too good. Numerous people have lost their jobs and are finding it extremely difficult to get new ones. The times are indeed tough and people are controlling their spending habits by limiting their visits to salons. Various salons have reported a decrease in attracting new clients, especially during this holiday season. I hope their hair shears do not get rusted due to lack of usage following less number of clients.

In spite of such difficult times, there are a few salons which are organizing charitable events. One such salon is Carter Barnes salon in Atlanta which is organizing an event called Carter Barnes Beauty Boost to be held on Monday, December 14th. The objective of this event is to provide a free Recession Haircut for those who are out of work, having financial problems or victims of the flood.

Carter Barnes Beauty Boost will see 250 men and women get free haircuts and hair color and even Botox injections for some from a local plastic surgeon. Good quality hair shears will be used to give free haircuts to all the selected individuals. The presence of a career coach who will assist with resumes and interview skills will be an additional feature which may provide jobs to those who have undergone cosmetology education.

How to participate in Carter Barnes Beauty Boost?

If you’ve lost your job or your home, affected by the economy or the recent floods, you are eligible to apply. To participate in Carter Barnes Beauty Boost, you will have to fill out the application and provide a current photo of yourself. You will be notified via e-mail on or around December 7, if you have been chosen as a candidate.

TIP: If you wish to maximize your chances of entering the event, send a letter describing your financial struggles along with a photo.

This is a nice charitable initiative by Carter Barnes salon which will see 250 people get a free recession haircut. I am sure you don’t want to miss this opportunity to get a new style for the holiday season with professional hair shears.

Posted at 3:30 AM • No Comments

The Susan Boyle makeover has become the talk of the town. She no longer appears to be the old funny lady who had become a celebrity when she appeared as a contestant on Britain’s Got Talent this year. She now has got a new hair ‘do and looks much more appealing.

Susan Boyle makeover not only surprised Susan but many others who had seen her earlier. “You look gorgeous, I’m loving the hair!” Those were the words of Meredith Vieira after meeting a newly elegant Susan Boyle, during her interview with Today.

When Susan made her first public appearance on the television, she looked like a fusty woman with graying and frizzy hair. She looks 10 years younger now following the now famous Susan Boyle makeover. Her stylist did a great job by using professional hair shears to style her hair. Even her dark, unkempt eyebrows have been shaped and colored which has been possible due to a professional cosmetologist.

It is great to see Susan in such a new avatar. I believe even her stylist deserves equal appreciation for performing the Susan Boyle makeover in such a professional manner. Post makeover, Susan seems to have taken years off her looks. That is the magic of being a cosmetologist.

Cosmetology education is so much vital if you have always dreamt of working with red carpet celebrities. If you command an expertise in any area of cosmetology, be it hairstyling, makeup, nails or even shampooing; you stand a great chance to work with celebrities and rock stars.

If you are about to finish your current educational course and a bit unsure about your career, I believe hair care industry deserves a good thought. There are many online cosmetology education programs which can help you in achieving all the necessary training in cosmetology. With hard work and passion, even you can become competent enough to perform Susan Boyle makeover.

Cosmetology education is always important, no matter how skillful you are. You have to keep learning new concepts about hairstyling, coloring, etc. and hone your skill sets to stay ahead of others. With full dedication and determination, you can definitely achieve success and earn yourself a place in the history books.

To emphasize my point, let us consider the example of Christopher Columbus – the father of America. It was in 1492 that he started his 1st journey to America and successfully went on to discover a new country. To pay tribute to this great man who kept on moving with determination and courage, we celebrate Columbus Day.

The spirit with which he faced every challenge and turned it into an opportunity is worth appreciating. What’s more incredible is that he used all his knowledge and previous experiences to sail through the tough waters and achieved his goals. Columbus Day celebrates this great spirit exhibited by the man!

Learning and continuing cosmetology education is somewhat similar to the voyage of Columbus. One has to work hard to understand and learn the finer nuances of this trade. Many times, a newbie hairstylist get frustrated while working as an apprentice and some may even consider dropping out of the course.

With the Cutting Edge Hair Show, learning has become simple, enjoyable and fun. The video tutorials can be easily accessed and do not require you to travel miles to attend courses.
