Cosmetology : Old Of The New

When helping clients get the desired results from processes, cosmetologists use the scientific method, this method has four steps: Identify the problem, Develop the explanation, Predict future events, Test predictions.

The Elkhart Area Career Center cosmetology class is a loud, crazy, girly group. They are all about makeup, hair, and YouTube. Mrs. Teagarden, the instructor is a medium eight, silver-white haired lady. The salon lab is an L shape room with fluorescent lights, walks half cream half green. Constant water running in the shampoo bowls, minty fresh tea-tree shampoo, and the buzz of a blow-dryer. U93 playing the same ten songs on repeat all four hours your there. That’s the cosmetology salon.

The history of cosmetology dates back to ancient times. Since the first time humans were able to see their own reflections, there have been Cosmetologists. It began as a very skilled trade among the poor or servant class. (S1). It is said that the Egyptians were one of the first to use “makeup” as art, which puts them as one of the front-runners for cosmetics. The Egyptians used ochres and dyes for their cheeks and eyes. (S1).

Cosmetology is the study of application of beauty treatment. The professional skill or practice of beautifying the face, hair, or skin. Many cosmetologist perform hair dresser, hair styling, nail, or skin care. Although many may not consider a career in cosmetology, becoming a cosmetologist allows one to shape the future one client at a time.

Traditionally, cosmetology is a career choice dominated by women, but traditions are made to be broken and these days, traditions are being blown to smithereens by enterprising, passionate and pioneering people, just like you. If you're a man and considering entering a cosmetology school, don't let statistics or "tradition" stand in your way. This career choice could be the best decision you'll ever make, here's why:

For my career I chose cosmetology. Cosmetology is the professional skill or practice of beautifying the face, hair, and skin. I chose this career because I would be able to work with a variety of people with different personalities. I would get to use the human body as an art canvas and the career offers a lot of variety because of its many branches.

Cosmetology is the study and application of beauty treatment. Branches of specialty includes hairstyling, skin care, cosmetics, manicures/pedicures. And a Fine Artists are artists that include painters, sculptors, and illustrators. In fine arts I would be doing painting/ body painting. For schooling I would love to go to University of Arizona or Eastern Arizona Collage. I have wanted to go to U of Arizona since I was 10. Eastern Arizona Collage offers the cosmetology class I need and University of Arizona has the Fine arts class I need. A lot of people have an interest in arts or something of the field. But the whole arts, makeup, and hair has been my escape from reality when ever I'm having a hard time at school or even in life. I've been doing (cutting and coloring) my own hair and doing my own makeup for 4 years. I have done other peoples hair and makeup before and gotten nothing but positive feed back. School will cost money so, I am going to be applying for scholarships.

This obsession with makeup is widespread and it’s extremely obvious to see the influence the cosmetic industry has had on everyday life in America. The industry has only grown throughout the years and continues to be a multi-billion dollar a year business.

A survey certified that average women spend about $13,000 on makeup in her life time. Not only that, but also spend 300 hours applying it. Beauty tends to increase the self esteem of women, they think more positive of themselves. Along with that like anything else cosmetology has revolutionized throughout the years.

The Ancient Greeks left behind a wealth of beauty secrets that are still prevalent in skin care today. The modern world of beauty and grooming is narrowing down a single product out of an endless list of imitators. One way to distinguish which products are more credible is to select what has

Humans have been interested in altering and improving their appearance for centuries. Turning from one product to the next, no matter the consequences, to try and achieve their ideal self-image. Perhaps, some would say, it is in humans’ genetic “makeup” to try and be the best they can be. But, where should the line be drawn? History dating all the way back to Ancient Greece shows signs that lead was used as a cosmetic, applied to the eyes and face. This would cause skin lesions, madness, and even infertility among the lucky (Mapes, 2008). Is it really worth it? Does beauty actually equal pain? These questions can invoke a kind of curiosity about present day skincare and cosmetics and how they are affecting human bodies in a more modern setting. All of this considered, consumers should educate themselves on what exactly is inside their skincare and cosmetics products for their own safety.

Dating back to the 6th century BC, Pythagoras propagated the idea that harmonious balance would be achieved based on correct proportion and perfect symmetry. This ideal is still widely believed today to be a basis on what constitutes something or someone as beautiful. The term used to describe this harmonious balance amongst a certain system was ‘cosmos.’ Other ideals came to have an effect as well, such as the lightness of one’s complexion, a youthful looking body, and an unblemished face. Furthermore, in ancient times, women used natural substances to enhance appearances of their face and body, much similar to what women use today, however they appear in different forms. Egyptian women would “[dust] their skin with ochre to give it a lighter, golden hue,” as well as “[paint] their eyelids with charcoal,” and have “their lashes darkened” (Tungate 11). What Egyptian women would do to make themselves more ‘beautiful’ is something that is seen amongst all women today. It is important to investigate what it is that kept this trend going, understand the desires and pursuits of women in why they use cosmetics, and what other advancements and ideas came along that sparked the mass marketing of cosmetics to women.

The wide spread use of synthetic items, especially cosmetics, is prompted by man’s increasing desire to improve his looks and personality in the society.
