Information from the U.S. Dept. of Labor

Cosmetology Career Opportunities ...

The following definitions and growth statements originated with the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Cosmetologists provide beauty services, such as shampooing, cutting, coloring, and styling hair. They may advise clients on how to care for their hair, straighten hair or give it a permanent wave, or lighten or darken hair color. Additionally, cosmetologists may train to give manicures, pedicures, and scalp and facial treatments; provide makeup analysis; and clean and style wigs and hairpieces.

Estheticians exclusively provide skin care and treatment. Manicurists and pedicurists, called nail technicians, work exclusively on nails and provide manicures, pedicures, coloring, and nail extensions to clients.

In addition to their work with clients, cosmetologists, nail technicians and estheticians are expected to maintain clean work areas and sanitize all work implements. They may make appointments and keep records of hair color and permanent wave formulas used by their regular clients. A growing number actively sell hair products and other cosmetic supplies. Those who operate their own salons have managerial duties that include hiring, supervising, and firing workers, as well as keeping business and inventory records, ordering supplies, and arranging for advertising.Overall employment of cosmetologists, estheticians and nail technicians is projected to grow equally as fast as the average for all occupations through 2012, because of increasing population, incomes, and demand for personal appearance services. In addition to those arising from job growth, numerous job openings will arise from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations, retire, or leave the labor force for other reasons. As a result, job opportunities generally should be good.

Our Educators attend special on site training with several professional companies, and hair shows to help stay on top of the latest trends and newly released and reformulated products, then they bring this information back to the academy to share with the students.


Hands on education is always the best in Cosmetology Training.

What’s New in Beauty?

Sure, this asymmetrical undercut isn’t for everybody, but it’s a stunning option for the client who wants to stand out from the crowd. Solid Color with a deep rich chocolate brown. Who should try it: It’s best for a strong, independent woman who is looking to cut her hair off and keep with trends.

SHORT HAIR: Ali Larter 
A clean, asymmetrical bob screams elegance and edge. This look is a good option for the client that wants to go shorter “but not too short!” Leaving the length around the face makes the client feel as though her hair is still long. Haircolor is a Honey blonde with golden blonde lowlights.

 

 

MIDLENGTH HAIR: Olivia Wilde 
This textured, collar bone-length bob and soft fringe is an essential summer style. It’s a great look for the everyday woman.Who should try it: Anyone! This cut can be adapted to any face shape. Color is Ombre' - Rich deep golden brown with golden highlights for a tone on tone effect.

Adding a fringe to a long cut is a great way to update a style without doing anything too drastic. Taylor's color is a light golden brown with soft golden highlights.

Hot Product

Quick Curl....

What can we say about this product?  We use it on almost every client that walks in the door!

Quick Curl  is a wonderful styling aid used to protect the hair from any heat appliance, blow dryer, hood dryer, curling iron, flat iron, hot rollers, & even pin curls for those "new retro looks".  It gives you added styling control with a little extra "starch" to help hold the look in place until it fully cools.  This helps ensure that the style stays longer, stronger and better.  You can add extra volume to the hair by spraying it at the base or "root area" of the hair before you blow dry or you can get simple end curls and flips by just adding it to the hair ends.   It is an all purpose styling tool that works on all types of hair!   WE LOVE, LOVE, LOVE QUICK CURL!
