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.

Starting your own business is an enormous responsibility and is not a step to be taken lightly. Much serious planning is necessary. You will need a thorough knowledge of business principles, bookkeeping, business laws, insurance, salesmanship, and psychology before you can take on the role of salon owner and manager. The scope of this course is twofold. It is a useful overview of what you will need to research in more depth before opening your own business. It also serves as a “refresher course” for those who already are in business.
