Green Beauty Products

Have you ever researched the ingredients in your beauty products? I have done just that in the past and been surprised at the many animal or petroleum ingredients listed in unclear ways. Which is one reason I make so many of my own lotions and potions. I prefer plant products usually.

I think you might find it interesting if you looked into what is in your favorite shampoo, blush, etc. One thing I always am amazed by is the number of lotions that include alcohol---which can dry the skin. I like ingredients like nut or seed oils (olive, almond, coconut, shea butter) and beeswax, essential oils, etc.

What are your favorites?

Guest Student Blog: Challenges in Cosmetology

Nichole G. submitted this!

I am super psyched about getting some serious experience with fusion extensions. The last set I did with the help of another student was simply proof that trying new things, being creative, and being willing to take a few risks and think outside of the box are the other half of the cosmetology equation, along with knowledge/education. I like that services we provide under the umbrella that is cosmetology never produce the exact same result, and that every client is a challenge to be better than the last service you did. I really hope that we are provided more opportunities to try new things, that may not necessarily be in the realm of "basic education" but but that are a little advanced, and force us to use our creativity, not just technical skills.

Yay, Cosmetology!

Guest Student Blog: Behind the Chair

Caitlyn G. says:

A stylist can always use inspiration and this site has alot of it.  Behind the Chair has everything from how to's, to the latest products!  They also feature many thing about famous hairstylist and what they have been up to.  This site is great for technique and product knowledge, and  you can't forget the T-shirts that are written backwards so that when you wear them 'Behind the Chair' it reads correctly!  I think that this site is definitely worth checking out!   www.behindthechair.com
