We are currently working with our students with new online, remote hybrid learning procedures.  All students are working from home & class with their manikins and online, but our clinic floor is closed to the Public.

Why did I Choose Beauty School?

Why Did I Choose Beauty School?

Because I Love People.

I Love the expression I see on a person’s face when I finish their style, turn them to the mirror and see their eye’s glow in a way we haven’t seen in years.  The look you get when you help someone’s day get just a little better.  You don’t have to move mountains to make someones day better.  Sometimes just the little things.  The subtle changes.  A little caring.  What we feel is minor, others see as MAJOR.  What a great thing to do……Make someones day better!

THIS IS WHAT WE DO IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY!

Penny Miller – Owner and Educator of P.M.C.A. Let me help you with your Beauty Education.

Why Should YOU Choose Beauty School?

There are so many reasons to choose the beauty industry as a rewarding career!

You may have a job already so you probably know what it’s like to work and get paid. But what will it be like to have a career and work at it year after year? Will you come home after a hard day and complain to anyone who will listen? That’s not what anyone wants out of life. Think positive. Come up with some words you’d like to connect with your profession. Now look at the words associated with beauty professionals. See whether your words match these.

  • Beauty. Sure, that’s obvious, but being around beautiful things like nature and art really can enhance your life and make it easy to get up in the morning!
  • Happiness. Not too long ago a poll asked people of different professions to rate their general happiness. Guess what landed among the top? Hairdressers! Walk into any salon, and you’ll see a lot of smiling people.
  • Creativity. Having the chance to express themselves creatively is one of the top reasons people give for making beauty their life’s work. You get to work with your hands and come up with new ideas all the time. Every face becomes a fresh canvas for the make-up artist every head of hair a sculpting project for the hair designer.
  • People. Unlike some of the other arts-writing, painting-in hair styling and makeup application you don’t spend your creative time alone. In fact, beauty is about as opposite of a solitary career as you’ll find. And, of course, when you work on people’s hair and make-up you hear more of their secrets than you want to know!
  • Reward/Fulfillment. Ask hairstylists what they enjoy most about their day-to-day work, and you’re likely to get one response more than any other: it’s an absolute delight to make people feel great about themselves. Taking a client who’s looking, well, not her best, and seeing her face when she stares at the mirror after you’ve finished working your magic is incredibly gratifying! And unlike a lot of efforts that you work on a long time before you see the “fruits of your labor,” in beauty the gratification comes immediately.
  • Passion. That’s a word you’ll hear a lot from people who work in this field. They feel passionate about beauty, and they so appreciate that they can make a living from their passion.
  • Flexibility. You manage your own schedule. This is another thing professionals love about this business. People get their hair done on weekends, at night, early before work-whatever hours you want to work, there are clients who need you. It’s common for people to work part-time some years and full-time other years, depending on life’s twists and turns.
  • Personal Growth. Fashion trends change continually, and new techniques are routinely developed to create the new looks. To stay on top of everything, beauty professionals go to classes, read magazines, watch DVDs-anything that keeps them up on the latest/newest/hottest. When you’re learning, you feel connected and healthy. One hairdresser said, “When you’re green, you’re growing; when you’re ripe, you rot!”
  • CHI Educator Training
  • Opportunity. Once you’re a licensed cosmetologist  you have an open door to a world of opportunities. You can become a salon manager or owner, teach at a cosmetology school, work for a company to help formulate products, demonstrate products and techniques at trade shows (it’s called “platform work”), develop new looks called “trend releases” for product lines, create styles for magazine or newspaper photo shoots, work on the sets of movies and TV, or even branch off into fields connected to beauty and salons such as public relations/advertising, beauty magazine writing, retail merchandising and display, product sales and distribution and interior design. If you want to stay hands-on “behind the chair,” you can specialize-do mostly hair cuts, hair color, facials, nails or make-up, for example-or you can do it all.
  • Job Security. For decades now, there’s been a shortage of skilled, licensed salon professionals, so the industry has had virtually a 0% unemployment rate. It’s likely that you’ll never have to worry about being able to find a job, and even salons that are fully staffed are interested to talk to eager-to-learn young people coming into the field.
  • Financial Security. The average income for cosmetologist is about $32,000 per year, according to the American Association of Cosmetology Schools, with some sources estimating that figure at closer to $50,000. Many busy beauty professionals who work full-time earn more than that-into the high five figures and beyond. Not everyone does, and it may not happen right away, but if you do good work, have the people skills to get clients trying higher-end services like hair color and waxing, periodically raise your prices and continually market yourself to spread the word, you will make an excellent living as a beauty professional.
  • Giving & Caring. In addition to being “givers” when it comes to treating clients well, cosmetologists are known for their good deeds and community service. Salons routinely hold fundraising cut-a-thons, participate in charity walks as a team and volunteer to do the hair backstage for fashion shows that benefit all sorts of charities-children’s needs, cancer, AIDS, victims of hurricanes and other disasters, hunger and pretty much any cause that’s out there. It’s a charitable industry filled with generous people.
  • Fun. A lot of salon owners make sure the environment stays light and upbeat. They hold sales contests with prizes, decorate for holidays throughout the year, hold photo shoots and laugh a lot.
  • Teamwork. The day of the competitive, catty hairstylist is over! Today’s salons are all about building a team of professionals who help each other and play to everyone’s strengths. Older stylists help and mentor new people, and the whole staff pitches in if someone needs to take time away for illness or other personal crisis. A well-run salon becomes a second family-in a good way!

2018 Update – Careers in Beauty-Travel World Wide

Careers in Beauty – Cosmetology, Makeup Artistry, Nail Technician – Travel World Wide – Unlimited Income Potential.

 

CHI Pro’s working their magic. Hair by Anna.

Rated ONE of the Top 10 Career Choices, Cosmetology is Booming!

Studies show that it is a very stable field that is recession proof and growing at a steady rate.

 

2018  Update –  Cosmetology Careers from Penny Miller Cosmetology Academy 

Why?  You might ask.  Well, do you have hair, skin or nails?  That is the answer.  Everyone at some time or other needs beauty services to help them with their concerns about their own hair, skin and nails.  Also people are in the job market, and need to look great and travel world wide for their own careers.  Did you know that women who wear makeup to work make more money than their own fellow female workers who do not wear cosmetics.  Therefore there is a need for beauty and cosmetics.  This is not purely vanity, it shows that individuals who wear cosmetics, take pride in their appearance, and usually will perform better than someone who is not quite as well put together, and doesn’t care about the small stuff.

According to occupational handbooks-

Cosmetology is expected to grow faster than average, offering work in all capacities from extreme to in-between success.  Overall employment for personal appearance workers is projected to grow because of increasing population, incomes, and demand for beauty services.  Source – NAACAS 2007 Job Demand Survey.

Licensed cosmetologists provide a variety of personal services that help clients to look and feel their best.  Services include hair styling, hair dressing, braiding, upstyles, chemical services such as perms, color, highlights, lowlights, speciality color such as ombre’, sombre’, multidimensional color, texturizing & smoothing services, hair cutting, and barbering services, waxing, facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, speciality facials, tanning, spray tans, makeup artistry, manicures, pedicures and artificial nails.

 

 

 

Personal appearance is not only a key factor in keeping one’s morale high. A well groomed appearance is also a factor in enhancing one’s chances for a successful career!

2016 Proms 601

 

The primary goal of a successful licensed cosmetologist is to create an experience that the client will enjoy and want to repeat.  Cosmetologists keep pace with the fashion world and stand ready to meet the constantly changing career skills vital to success.

Continuing education is a must! Cosmetology offers opportunities for personal growth and many, many career options!

AUSTIN WORLDS FAIR IS ON SEPTEMBER 9 &10 THIS YEAR. HOPE TO SEE MY FELLOW BEAUTY PROFESSIONALS THERE.

100_5406

 

The demand for Cosmetologists:  In January 2007, there were 1,682,641 professionals employed in the nation’s 370,215 beauty salons, barber shops, skin care salons, and nail salons.  The typical salon is a small full service shop with 5.1 stations, three full-time professionals, and two part time professionals.

100_5367

 

 

 

 

 

 

Salon owners reported 484,660 job openings that were filled during 2006.  This represents an average of 1.3 openings per salon.  Nearly 40 percent of all new positions were filled by inexperienced workers.  Compare that to college graduates, with a two year or four year degree, who are now seeking jobs outside their field of expertise.

More Facts about Cosmetology

Even with significant levels of hiring, nearly three quarters of the salons that tried to fill positions were not able to find qualified applicants.  The supply of skilled professionals in the beauty industry continues to fall short of the demand.  This is a chronic shortage that has been reported in earlier surveys of the cosmetology industry.

Hair stylists are needed in every town and city in the country.

 

 

travel world wide

Of the various specialties, the increasing demand for nail technicians appears to be most substantial.  While nail tech’s currently make up only 9.7% of the current industry employees, nearly 18 percent of the job openings are in that area.

Nail Technician
Careers in Beauty

56 percent of salon employees work full time, 31 percent are part time (20-35 hours), and 13 percent are low time (less than 20 hours).

The average salary, NOT including tips, is about $30,000 to $ 48,000 per year.

Careers in Beauty

These findings support the unmet needs of the industry along with several possible ways you can enter this profession.  Employment opportunities far outweigh the risks of a career transition.

A Look Into YOUR Future!

1.  Constant Demand.  The need for hair stylists, manicurists, and estheticians is not likely to diminish.

2.  Growth of Spas.  They once were the exclusive retreats for the rich and famous; however, more and more consumers are now embracing the spa lifestyle.  For aspiring or current beauty professionals, this means that job opportunities will grow rapidly, especially due to the growth in full-service day spas, and medi-spas.

3.  Greening of Beauty.  The current “green” movement goes far beyond fluorescent light bulbs and recycling.  It’s also translating into a solid career choice.  Interest in sustainable beauty and fashion equates to a greater demand for highly skilled and licensed beauty professionals who are trained in natural or alternative treatments such as aromatherapy, body wraps, salt and sugar glows, reflexology, and more.

4.  Ultra-Luxury is Alive.  Cosmetology is a business that caters to the wealthy including movie stars, CEOs, philanthropists, oil magnates, and others.  The ultra-rich consumer easily weathers any recession and continues to spend lavishly on beauty, health, and wellness.

5.  Multi-Faceted Career.  Many cosmetologists are skilled in not just hair styling, coloring, and cutting, but also manicures, pedicures, facial treatments, make-up analysis, and much much more.  This means you have room to branch out and explore other fields, and that income comes not from a single source but highly diverse avenues ensuring a safety net for salon owners as well as workers.

100_5457

6.  Baby Boomer Clientele.  In a society that  values youth and beauty, aging baby boomers- a group of 78 million Americans, are willing to spend money to get closer to the fountain of youth.

7.  International Opportunities.  Even when the economy is doing poorly in the U.S., other countries may be doing well.  With global hospitality companies opening up branches overseas, there are employment opportunities in spas,  hotels, and other outlets which offer a chance for travel.

8.  Governmental Posts.  Some of the most stable jobs are int the federal government where layoffs and firings are less than in the private sector.  If your salon is located near a military or airbase, government contracting firm, or other government-linked facility, there will be plenty of personnel wanting personal care services.

9.  Stress Reducer.  Stress is the tipping point that leads to sleep disorders, poor eating and for some- hypertension.  Regular spa visits can help treat health concerns and act as a preventative measure as well.

10.  Occupational Outlook.  The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that job opportunities for estheticians will grow rapidly through 2016.  This means that salon professionals will enjoy job security for many years to come.

Career Choices-   Wow! There are so many!

2015 may 148

There are numerous opportunities in the job market for cosmetologists.  The trick to being a happy professional is finding the right fit for yourself with your career choice and your work setting.  Only you can analyze yourself,  deep down, and figure out what environment you need to work in to be happy.  There are several choices.  First and foremost decide what type of people do you want to work with.  Then decide what type of services you prefer performing, and then what type of people you want in your target market.  When you get the right mix, work does not seem like work and your days will go fast and you will be much happier in your workplace.

HOW TO – Achieve the Perfect Brows

 

BEAUTIFUL, WELL SHAPED  BROWS ARE IN.

brow guidelines

What can we say about Eye Brows?   Would you put a cheap frame around a beautiful masterpiece?   Of course not!   The Eye brows  frame  your eyes.  Keep the eyebrows clean, simple and elegant with just a few simple steps.

SO, WHERE DO I BEGIN?

Cosmetology professionals are well trained in how to shape the brow in the perfect way for your particular face shape.  There are many considerations to be made when shaping your brows, for instance…If you have a larger bone structure – a thicker, heavier brow is needed…if you are petite and delicate, a thinner, finer brow shape may be needed.  BALANCE IS KEY!   Always seek the advice of a trained professional in selecting the perfect shaped brow for you.

brow tweeze

Most women get their eyebrows waxed, plucked, threaded, or shaped, again it is best to seek the advice of a pro, but here are a few tips to accent your brows.   An extra way to add a little shape to your face is to fill in your brows with a brow powder or pencil or even a stain.  This is especially important if your brows are sparse or fair.

brow color

 

Use a small, stiff, angled brush to add definition to the brow with a powder brow color.  If you use a brow pencil, you can use this same style of brush to soften the lines made by the pencil. I prefer the brow powder over a pencil, but sometimes both are needed if your brows are extremely thin.  When using the pencil, make short, small strokes the same direction as your brows grow.  (You are trying to simulate the actual eyebrow hair).  Find a brow powder that matches the color of your hair.  Or, if you are a very light blonde, go a couple of shades deeper for added definition. Redheads sometimes have a hard time finding a reddish-brown brow powder, but there is a wider selection of colors available in eye shadows that can double as a brow powder. Just make sure the eye shadow is a matte shade and doesn’t have any shimmer to it. Follow with a small amount of clear brow setting gel or spray on your brow brush to keep your brows in shape all day long.

makeupbrushes

 

Keep a brow brush in your makeup bag. The perfect brush tool has angled, stiff bristles that are short and will allow you to brush the powder right into your brows. When you add the step of filling your brows with powder to your makeup routine, you’ll be amazed at how extra polished and professional your makeup will look.

All of these items are available at our Salon. We will be glad to help you with your color selection and even an in house makeup lesson.  Just call 405-238-3426 or drop by Penny Miller Cosmetology Academy for a consultation.

cosmeticsWant a Shortcut?

Give us a call for a BROW MAKEOVER.   With a BROW MAKEOVER, We will reshape your brows and color your brows to save you time.  The color will usually last 4 to 6 weeks, and help to fill in and accent your brows.  BEAUTIFUL BROWS in just a few minutes!!!

Why is Education Important to the Beauty Industry?

 

Look around you and you will see people everywhere in all walks of life doing things.  Some do things well, some do okay, some do horrible and  others are Outstanding!   WHY IS THIS?

 

Education is KEY to Everything!

With the advent of YouTube and online information, there is no doubt an information overload.  Information is wonderful, however, misinformation can be VERY DANGEROUS.  You can get a very false sense of what is important, what is time sensitive, and what is real.  Just because someone has a Million Likes doesn’t mean they are a master of their craft.  It simply means they are entertaining.  With the trend on entertaining I have seen so many YouTube entertainers doing so many crazy and dangerous things it is scary.

 

In the Beauty Industry we deal with live people.  We touch people.  People who know they want to look good, but don’t know how. 

 

It is our job to ask, analyze and access the situation, and to make a professional determination of if the service is a good idea, and if it is achievable.  We have to be honest. We must have integrity.   We want to see our clients again, and again.  We want to help them to achieve their goals.  We know our work will speak for itself, good or bad.  We are not YouTubers laughing and joking about the clients problems, a client’s problem is our problem and we want to help them attain their goals.

So how do we come to understand the needs and wants of our clients?  How do we determine what products to use?  How do we figure out the mode of application, timing and technique?  We go back to the  Basics of Cosmetology 101!  There are no short cuts!  There is no magic formula you can use on every single client!  Each client is different.  Each client is an individual.  Even identical twins can have very seperate lives, with seperate needs and cannot be serviced the same while in the stylist’s chair.  EDUCATION IS KEY!

 

Did you know that in Basic Cosmetology students learn about basic health and nutrition, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, infection control, histology of the hair, aromatherapy, reflexology, communication, chemistry, electricity, design principles, color artistry, nail structure and growth, nail and skin disorders and diseases, they also learn about the history of the craft, wig and hairpieces, braiding, hairstyling, haircoloring, haircutting and the mathematics of haircutting, hair removal, facials, facial makeup, they go on to learn about nails including natural and artificial nail care, tips and wraps, freeforms, acrylics, hard and soft gels, and then they finish with salon and business training, state board licensure and employment?

In the field of Cosmetology, things change very quickly.  Products and tools are constantly being upgraded and modified and it is very important for even the seasoned profession to attend seminars and workshops to further their education on products, chemistry and advances in tools.  It’s an ever changing World, The Beauty Industry, and if you don’t keep up ….You will be left behind.

I have been in this wonderful profession since 1982, and I still love it! I surround myself with fellow educators who have the same passion I have for the Beauty Industry.

Penny Miller & Rachael Free
CHI Educators

I’m still amazed when I see a new artist present their take on an old procedure.  I go to many different trainings each year.  I love seeing all the new fun colors and styles.

I learn something new everyday, because I choose to.  I could sit and do nothing, but how boring would that be.  If you enjoy your craft, and seek education, and strive to be your best you will be a success in this business.  You control your destiny!

Soar like an Eagle, don’t travel with a bunch of turkeys.

We hope to see all of our friends and neighbors at the Academy this Summer.  We will be opened for business as usual, from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.  The salon is opened for appointments each of those days.  We offer a full range of beauty services including haircuts, styles, perms, colors, highlighting, facials, waxing, manicures, pedicures, artificial nails, and makeup application.  You can go to our Salon Services ‎ to see a full list of services with all of the prices.
