Gain advanced knowledge about the skin barrier and its health to better serve your clients while improving your ability to diagnose common skin conditions cosmetologists see in the treatment room every day. The skin barrier is an essential component of the skin and is key in helping clients achieve their skin goals, whether it’s overcoming texture concerns, inflammatory skin conditions or signs of aging. Unfortunately, this important factor of skin health is often overlooked, preventing skin therapists from correcting troublesome skin conditions, often masking the symptoms instead.
The purpose of this course is to familiarize cosmetologists with advanced knowledge of the skin barrier in order to prevent and treat skin conditions resulting in a compromised skin barrier while gaining a deeper understanding of the skin’s physiology, functions, and structure.

As the push to find sustainable ways to maintain the planet grows, nail salons are embracing the trend by using eco-friendly products and processes. The most significant parts of the green nail salon trend are tied to organic product ingredients and waterless nail services, both of which are useful for lowering the impact that salon services have on the planet.
The biggest concerns for the nail professional are personal safety and the safety of guests. Nail technicians work with various chemicals in the salon setting, and overexposure is a real threat.

Beauty professionals will inevitably encounter clients suffering from some form of normal or abnormal hair loss. Therefore, it is important to recognize and understand the different conditions. Through education and research, a beauty professional can create a preventative care plan to help their client maintain healthy scalp and hair. Normal hair loss occurs during the natural growth cycle in phases known as Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen (Frangie, 2012). A person can shed up to 150 strands of hair per day during the telogen phase. Stress can prematurely force hair into this phase, causing the client to experience rapid hair loss. It will take three months before the hair follicle becomes active and enters the growth cycle again.
Understanding the different hair loss conditions, causes and preventions will allow beauty professionals to give clients an exclusive experience while creating customized treatment plans, gaining knowledge of hair loss and expanding one’s client services and income potential.

The cosmetology industry is booming. Factors that could harm the industry are insufficient sanitation and infection controls for client health and safety, or perceptions by our clients that their health may be at risk. Salon professionals must make safe sanitation techniques the foundation of their daily routines and encourage their co-workers to do the same – for the health and well-being of practitioners and clients. Sanitation and disinfection techniques to control infection have a direct impact on the health and welfare of clients and the careers of salon professionals. The importance of maintaining proper sanitation procedures cannot be overstated; it can literally be a matter of life or death. Following proper sanitation guidelines will greatly reduce the potential risks to the professional, clients and co-workers – as well as ensure the highest quality of service.
