A trade show can be daunting for the shy and provide eye candy for the not so shy, but everyone will come away rejuvenated and eager to get back to work. Seminars, depending on how large or small, can give you demonstrations to watch as well as provide you with an opportunity to have some hands-on experiences. Both of these types of educational events can garner CEU hours if your state requires them and the class has been approved for them. Classes at trade shows typically offer product demonstrations and are smaller (normally consisting of 10-50 people). Most trade shows hold seminar classes before and during show floor hours. Many of the larger shows have a shipping service on site, which is handy if you are flying or really want to buy that big thing you saw at booth 1158. Often, companies will offer to ship your order directly to the salon for a low fee or even free, so do not be shy about asking about these options. The trade show floor is comprised of row after row of exhibitor booths set up with demonstrations and products for sale. Nail technicians should attend both trade shows and seminars with at least one hand free of product to receive demo nails. Wear light clothing as it can get quite warm on the show floor, or bring a sweater if you tend to get chilly. Wear very comfortable shoes as there is a tremendous amount of walking, back and forth, up and down the aisles, in and out of the show floor, etc. The hair exhibits normally have huge extravaganzas with music, models and live bands. Add in all the people talking, demonstrators at microphones, etc., and the show floor can get extremely loud. Check the show’s website several days before you travel. To save time during show hours, make a list of companies that you are interested in visiting (along with their booth numbers), and the classes you would like to attend. Otherwise, your first job when arriving on the show property is to grab the show directory and mark which booths you MUST see and which you would like to see. Next, go through the list of classes and make a list of “must-do,” then the “like-to-do” classes. Set an alarm in your cell phone for 15 minutes prior to each class, allowing you ample time to get there promptly. Sometimes it is difficult to get a seat in the more popular classes. Plan on visiting booths of the brands you currently use to catch up on techniques and new products. You should plan at least 50 percent of your floor time at booths of the lines you currently do not use, spending some time with the educators and getting demonstrations. Here is my rule of thumb as to what you are looking for when you get a nail demo at a trade show or seminar: •YES - the color of the enhancement •YES - if it yellows before you remove it or it breaks or whatever •YES - the specific techniques used in application •NO - how long they stay on •NO - the shape or length Do not be too disappointed if there is a specific company you want to check out that is not there – and do not disregard the company because they chose not to attend the show. Booth space costs thousands of dollars for a single booth, and the prices are astronomical for larger booths. The displays and products are shipped in, the staff is either flown in or cars are rented to drive them in, the company pays for their hotel and their food (usually) while there and the booth workers receive a daily fee. The average small company cannot afford this, sometimes they will join up with another company and share a booth, but more often opt out of such expense. If there is a competition at the show, make sure you note the time of the competitions and wander over for a bit to check it out. Show your support for your fellow professionals by attending the award ceremony if you have the time. All of the competitors are thrilled to show off their work up close and personal just before the awards begin. Attend the show with your co-workers... walking the show floor with another professional (or more) is so much better as the others might have heard or seen something you missed. Over lunch the discussion of the day will give you even more information to process. Win a $50 Gift Card! Register online to the Stylist Classifieds and enter to win a $50 Gift Card.

You dream about it, celebrate the beginning of it, and tell yourself what you would do differently than your past employers. You overlook its flaws because of its potential, and hope it will grow and flourish into a profit-making machine for you and your future. Many salon professionals have great ideas about what their salon or spa would be like. They dream about what the reception area would look like; how happy their clients would be after services; the effortlessness of excited clients referring new business; employing their “dream team” and most of all knowing what a great job they would provide to beauty to members of their community. Yes, those things do exist in many salons and spas and are the cornerstones of pride for many business owners. Some people seem to stumble on a winning formula, but for most of us, it is like a romantic relationship. You may make many mistakes, but you rely on trial and error to learn about what works and what does not. When you are faced with the reality of day-to-day tasks and distractions that keep you from reaching your potential rewards as a business owner, your vision and business can slip away. It is important to have someone on your side, looking out for the interest of the business, and keep you focused on carrying out your vision. So, where do you find people that will help make your dream a reality? One of the best ways to get a feel for a business coach is to venture into the business education classes offered at trade shows. You will spend anywhere from 30 minutes to three hours with them in a classroom and get a general feel for their style of coaching. You can find other resources from your distributor and by networking with other salons that have achieved the success you would like to have. Deb Hunt, owner of Salon Spa Business Solutions, is a salon and spa coach who has been in the beauty industry for 24 years, first as a stylist, then a salon owner, and has been coaching salons and spas for the last 15 years. Here are her four simple guidelines on what to look for in choosing a coach, as well as if you need one. Find a Specialist: Look for someone who has experience with unique challenges salon and spa owners face; there is no one size that fits all approach to business coach- 4 | SEPTEMBER 2011 | TEXAS STYLIST & SALON ing. The challenges each salon owner faces are different than other small businesses and finding someone who specializes in salons and spas is incredibly important to your success. Save The Emotions: A successful business has measurements for success that are in black and white on your balance sheet; emotions are seen and felt in Technicolor. When you are interviewing coaches, make sure they are talking about taking the emotion out of how you operate your salon or spa and managing your business logically, by the numbers. You Will Not Always Like Your Coach: Most of us don’t like to be pushed out of our comfort zone, but in order to achieve success we must be pushed. When you are growing new muscles, it will be painful and uncomfortable and you will want to revert to your comfort zone. Finding a coach that supports you and has your best interests at heart is necessary. I often tell my clients you will not always like me and may even hate me during the process, but you will love me when your coaching is complete, seeing the results and growth as a business owner. Go With A Plan: A coach should go through your numbers with you until you understand them fully so YOU can make the choices necessary to improve your business. A detailed plan of action should be laid out about the issues that are most important, priority of issues and what skills, and how much growth can be expected, as well as what you will need to acquire to get to where you want your business to be. You Do The Work: You want to look for a coach that will teach you what to do on a daily, weekly, monthly, basis so you can continue running your business effectively after your coaching is complete. If you have your coach do the work for you, then they are not coaching you, they are carrying the ball for you, and that is not what coaches should do. How Committed Are You: The best time to choose business coaching is when you are truly committed to the process. Coaching and being coached test the coach and the client’s patience, but when done correctly with truth, trust and respect, the rewards are great. Choose a coach that will be honest with you about your ability, really be ready for the process, and who will be ready to release you if you are not fully 100 percent committed to changing your business. This is not a week or two of commitment, it takes several months to go through a comprehensive program with a qualified coach.

The Nail Extension Jaime Schrabeck Any discussion about continuing education presumes the basic education provided in beauty schools produces licensed manicurists capable of working competently and safely whether your state requires continuing education or not. If this were true, why do so many licensed manicurists lack basic skills and fail to follow heath and safety regulations? On the other hand, what will a few hours of continuing education accomplish after hundreds of hours spent in beauty school? California, Oregon and Washington do not currently require continuing education, but in states that do like Ohio and Texas, are manicurists more informed and consumers safer? Careers as nail professionals begin with beauty school, where we can apply as few as 200 hours (Ohio) or as many as 600 hours (Oregon, Texas and Washington) to qualify for the licensing examination. These variations in time confirm the fundamental problem with time-based curriculums: the quantity of time is valued more than the quality of the instruction and the competency of the student. To suggest that beauty school students spend all their time in technical instruction and / or providing services (practical operation) defies reality. Beauty schools rarely devote more than 90 minutes to direct instruction during the day, nor can they possibly supply enough clients to keep students busy. Some states have considered increasing the hours required in hopes of improving compliance and consumer safety. For example, California’s Board of Barbering and Cosmetology recently proposed an increase from 400 to 500 hours. As an expert educator, licensed salon owner and manicurist, I strongly opposed this proposal. Requiring more hours would likely discourage individuals from becoming students, produce a significant financial burden on those who do and unnecessarily delay their entry into this profession, without ANY guarantee of increased competence or consumer safety. Students could learn how to disinfect equipment properly; including what can and cannot be disinfected, in 60 minutes or less. The failure of licensees to follow health and safety regulations after they leave school suggests that either they did not learn what to do or were not convinced that it was not optional. As long as “nail care” is considered distinct from “health and safety,” students will dismiss the latter as unimportant when in fact it should inform everything they do. These are NOT separate subjects; beauty schools should teach nail care procedures based on acceptable health and safety practices. A welldesigned manicuring curriculum is based on scientifically accurate information. It promotes best practices; it does not perpetuate misinformation and low standards. I consider the competent performance of the following tasks fundamental to manicuring: •Shaping the nails (trimming, filing, etc) •Conditioning the skin surrounding the nail (Eponychium, not “Cuticle”) •Conditioning the skin of the hands and feet (exfoliating, moisturizing and massaging) •Smoothing (not removing) calluses •Applying and removing polish •Applying and removing artificial nails, including natural nail repairs Finally, and most important, doing all of the above in a manner that protects the health and safety of consumers and the licensee. Manicurists that are not trained properly are more likely to deviate from accepted standards of practice, like performing pedicures on clients with questionable health conditions. Manicuring students need to understand the scope of practice of their future license, and they need to know how to determine who can safely receive nail services. Students should realize that making money is not worth risking a client’s health or losing their license. In my experience as an expert witness, I have observed that many consumer complaints involve pedicures, but another common problem is the improper use of drills or electric files. In California, drills are not prohibited, but they are not included in the manicuring curriculum or licensing examination. Given how many complaints arise from drill damage; this may be one of those instances where special certification through continuing education should be required, as it is in Colorado. The exceptionally poor work done by some manicurists undermines our professionalism and poses a serious risk to consumers. The average consumer mistakenly believes that a manicuring license proves technical competence. Why do states allow incompetent individuals to obtain licenses? Has the focus on “safety” obscured the benefits of requiring licensees to demonstrate quality work? If we continue to accept mediocrity as our standard of practice, we will continue to produce an incompetent workforce incapable of meeting the demands and expectations of consumers.

I am excited to be constantly learning -- involving myself in education in order to evolve as a person, artist and teacher. I am very happy to be teaching more often these days. I absolutely cannot live without working behind the chair, but being a teacher of quality education and a learner of quality education is a constant and necessary adjunct for me. I have been enthusiastically spreading the Aloxxi International Colour message across the country all year, and more recently, I did my own Main Stage Show at the International Beauty Show in Las Vegas. IBS Las Vegas was fantastic and I realized a revived and heartfelt love for education within our industry -- as both instructor and student. At IBS Vegas, I led a hands-on, interactive classroom in which attendees were involved by executing my new, off the scalp, highlightingcolor trend -- Celebrity Highlights. The sharing of ideas and knowledge were wonderful. It is this exchange of new thoughts that I love the most about education. The best class experience is when I actually learn something new from a student. Even the smallest, new piece of information may cause the class to roll out in a very different way than was originally planned. This process is called, “accelerated learning.” A principal behind accelerated learning is, “The one who talks the most, learns the most.” Therefore, if we all share our ideas together, teacher and student alike, we will all learn. I have become habitually energized to “practice what I preach” at each show and with each client who sits in my chair. For example, I demonstrated techniques at the IBS show for off-the-scalp highlighting color. I then come back to my salon and offered clients a hair color service. Highlighting can be seasonal, i.e., we are in summer, so why not add more blonde? Seasonal analysis still plays a big part in our consultation with each client when highlighting the hair. Is the client’s facial skin tone cool or warm? What is the eye color and tone? The face is everything.

The comment took me somewhat by surprise. In thinking about it, I realized that, having lived through many decades, I have arrived at this moment of time pretty much by trial and error. Now as a teacher, I share some of my hard won knowledge with the students as they try to balance work and their private lives. As an esthetician, I have realized that balancing one’s life is not unlike skincare. Our lives get out of balance when we do not get enough rest, we do not eat balanced meals, we do not get meaningful exercise and we do not find ways to keep stress at manageable levels. What does that have to do with skincare? When a client comes in for skincare, we start by removing the superficial layer of dust and cosmetics that might be hiding a true analysis of the skin. In our lives, it is often helpful to remove the film from the surface appearance of our lives so that we can truly see what is beneath it. We cannot begin skincare, or move toward life balance, until we have taken that first step. Next, we analyze the skin with the help of our magnifying light. It helps us more clearly determine skin type and current conditions. In life, we can do the same thing. Shine the light and look for conditions. Some conditions will need correction; others will resolve themselves in a space of time. In skincare, an example might be a lesion that could be emerging, may need removal, or it may be in the healing stage and just need time to complete that process. If it is a lesion in our personal life, by correctly analyzing it, we can come to resolution in healing it. The next step in a facial is massage. Benefits of massage help us relax the client and the facial muscles, improve overall metabolism and activate sluggish skin. Facial massage may relieve muscle tension and pain and provide a sense of physiological and psychological well-being through relaxation. How do I translate that into real life? Well, if you can get someone to give you an actual massage, it is certainly a plus. However, for many of us, it is a do-it-ourselves project. One of the reasons I like to walk is the fact that even a moderate walk offers a good time to let my subconscious work out problems, stimulate blood flow to all parts 8 | SEPTEMBER 2011 | TEXAS STYLIST & SALON of my body, and bring clarity to my mind. One of my friends comes up with brilliant ideas standing in her warm morning shower. Others relax by reading or playing mind games. Ask yourself what it is that you like to do that allows you to relax and build your sense of well being. Frequently, the next step in a facial is to apply something that exfoliates the skin. How much I exfoliate and the product or device I choose to do this with depends on the nature of the skin condition I wish to treat. If the skin is in good condition, I might select a mild exfoliating product. If I feel the problem calls for more aggressive exfoliating, I make a different choice. The same idea can work in our lives. If we can determine what is causing the imbalance we can take measures to erase it. If the problem were small but irritating we would choose a mild solution to change the condition. Larger problems might call for remedies that are more aggressive. Generally, next we treat the existing skin conditions. Does the epidermis need added protection with lipids? Perhaps a healing mask is called for. Another condition may be parched skin. We need to nourish the dehydration with carefully selected vitamins, minerals and hydrating ingredients. So we might ask of our life, what condition is most in need of immediate care? Do I need a solution that will heal something that is hurting in my life and do I have a corrective measure for that or is time what I need. If my life lacks something as fundamental as water is to skin, how am I going to provide it? You may need a friend or a professional in whom to confide. In skincare, we can usually find something to mitigate a skin condition. Often in life if we can truly identify the condition that is most troubling to us, we can also find the solution. After I have applied a treatment mask to our skincare client, I usually then select an intensive serum, again with the skin condition in mind. In life, ask yourself what you can provide your soul that is powerful enough, even in small doses, to improve your life. Do not forget your sunscreen. Sunscreen protects us from a painful burn that can leave a scar on the skin. So too your life needs care and attention, as a neglected life can develop its own set of scars. Lastly, I remind our students that a facial is worked in a limited amount of time. Sometimes our client presents with several conditions that all need addressing, but we usually cannot repair all of them in a single treatment. A series of facials will provide better results. So too, improving your life will take continued effort. Finally, there is home care. We know that we can see a client a couple of times but if she is not also faithfully following her skincare plan at home on a daily basis, she will not realize the full potential benefit. So ask yourself, “If I want to make my life more balanced am I willing to work towards it a little each day?” Will you teach yourself to recognize small stressors when they are still little, and find a way to lift the strain before it becomes a bigger problem? Stress starts in very small packages. Learn to recognize them before they pile up. Prioritize the things you want to change in the same way you must prioritize your client’s skincare. You cannot do it all in a day. Just as with skin, it is a lifetime commitment to achieve maximum benefits.

Mane Objective... continued from page 7 what is going on in the back of the head or the nape of the neck. Address the face first and you will always win. Offer a hair color or highlighting technique solely for the areas surrounding the face or offer a highlighting service for an in between “touch-up” visit at the bangs or temples. This concept is especially helpful for clients who have gray hair. Our graying clients may need a customized highlight service, sometimes a slightly different one at every visit. The gray may start to come in more often or in different ways, and the color must be adjusted to suit the face as it changes. This holds true for both the male and female clients. You would be surprised how eager men are for a very specific haircolor service, and how they specifically request color from you, as the expert. Now more than ever, men’s hair color- ing is becoming extremely lucrative, as men start to take better care of their appearance to look youthful and professional, and to gain respect. In the end, it is crucial for all hairdressers and owners to get involved in all aspects of learning, whether as an attendee or an educator, so that you can evolve your own skills and future. It is imperative for all of us to maintain a clear, open mind -- a mind open to embracing new haircolor services, as well as learning them, sharing them and teaching them.

It is a misconception that training and learning end after obtaining a license in cosmetology, massage or esthetics. The truth is that continuing education courses are necessary for professional development. To be a trusted professional in the beauty industry, it is important to stay on top of safety and sanitation requirements and be knowledgeable in the industry. Advanced education courses benefit you as a stylist or esthetician. Furthering your education and adding to your skill set can increase your salary, create opportunities for career advancement and make your day-to-day job more interesting. There are several ways of finding advanced beauty courses to enhance you cosmetology, massage or esthetics career including through a beauty school, online, and attending workshops and seminars. Through a Beauty School: Education goes beyond the classroom. Beauty schools offer specialty courses for students and licensed professionals of all levels and can include makeup, haircolor, hair design, skincare and salon and spa business skills. Advanced educational programs are often a series of workshops, which allow students and graduates to work hands-on with skilled professionals while sharpening their skills. To be sure you are getting the beauty education you need, request more information from your beauty school about their continuing education courses. Check back with your favorite or area beauty schools often to see what new courses are offered near you. Take Online Courses: Online courses are perfect for learning the latest in beauty and spa disciplines at your own pace and according to your schedule. Course topics can be as broad as cosmetology or focused on specific topics, such as new techniques in nail or skin care, salon safety, business skills and more. As with all seminars and classes, remember to check to be sure the online program you are considering counts toward your state cosmetology or esthetician license requirements. If you are newly licensed, this option may be less desirable since it does not offer opportunities to network or the excitement of attending a workshop or conference. Attending Workshops and Seminars: Like advanced beauty school courses, workshops and seminars combine theory and hands-on experience and are a great way to stay up-to-date with current beauty trends. Rather than several weeks, workshops and seminars are either one or a few days long. What you will learn can range from mastering the art of the smoky eye and working with bridal parties, to microdermabrasion and eyelash extension courses. The cost of a workshop or seminar typically will include the kits and materials you need for the class. Choosing the Right Education Now the question is what courses to take? It can be challenging to find the right courses with so many options online, near and far. Here are my tips for choosing the courses that will be the best fit for you: Identify your niche: Focus on the area in beauty in which you want to gain expertise and learn new skills in that area. If you are an esthetician, try a course in laser hair removal. If you are a cosmetic or fashion makeup art- ist, step it up to the next level and try a course in theatrical or film makeup. With advanced specialized training, you will become even more valuable in your field, and benefits can include higher pay. Find a mentor: Consult estheticians and stylists who work in salons and spas where you aspire to work. Ask how they obtain new skills and further their learning. Business training goes hand in hand with professional training. Just as important as learning the technical skills in hair styling, nail care, massage and skincare is the business side of a career in beauty. Watch how the pros interact with clients and learn how they have built successful careers. Do not forget to network among colleagues as well. Resources at your fingertips: The internet is a wealth of knowledge. Research courses in the state where you work or want to work. Online is also an easy and convenient place to research the more than 300,000 jobs available at beauty salons across the United States.

ED_003939 TEXAS STYLIST & SALON | SEPTEMBER 2011 | 9 Additional Paths to Barber Instructor License Continuing Education for Cosmetology License Renewals One requirement to renew your Texas cosmetology license is you must complete department-approved continuing education (C.E.) courses. Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1602.354(a) sets out the law governing CE for cosmetology: The commission will by rule recognize, prepare, or administer continuing education programs for the practice of cosmetology. Participation in the programs is mandatory for all license renewals. Although the number of required CE hours may differ by license type there are four CE hours that are common to all cosmetology licensees. Two (2) hours in Sanitation and 2 hours in Texas cosmetology laws and rules are required for everyone renewing a cosmetology license. It is easy to understand the importance of refreshing your knowledge about proper sanitation; you want to keep your clients healthy and your reputation spotless. But, you may wonder why you have to take a cosmetology laws and rules course every renewal period. After all, depending on the license you hold while in school you may have as many as 100 hours of “orientation, rules and laws” in the operator’s course, ten (10) hours of required laws and rules in the hair braiding/ hair weaving/wig/shampoo and conditioning curriculums or somewhere in-between. This past June the Texas Legislature adjourned until January 2013, but during the session they passed Senate Bill 1170 which added several new cosmetology laws and made changes to others. A few examples of the changes in the bill include: •Changed “Facialist” term to “Esthetician” (effective immediately), •Created a specialty license in eyelash extension application (target date February 2012), •Establishing a Cosmetology Operator to Barber Crossover license (target date February 2012), •New Paths to Earn a Cosmetology Instructor license (target date February 2012). CE courses include information about changes to existing laws and address the new laws passed this session. And, CE providers will continue to refresh your memory concerning the laws and rules that most often appear in TDLR’s list of “Top Ten Cosmetology Violations.” The Texas Cosmetology Advisory Board, the Commission and TDLR staff, are working to implement the bill: drafting rules, developing school curriculum for new licenses and creating new forms. To receive the latest information on the bill implementation sign up and receive TDLR’s email notifications.

One significant change is the replacing of the term “barber teacher” with “barber instructor.” The law expanded the scope of practice for a person holding a barber instructor license: not only will barber instructors be able to perform barbering actions; they may instruct students in any barbering act. Just as the title of the license changed, some eligibility requirements were added to provide avenues for a qualified person to be an instructor. To submit an application as a barber instructor an applicant must: 1. Be at least 18 years old; 2. Possess a high school diploma or a high school equivalency certificate; 3. Hold a current Class A barber certificate; 4. Have completed: A. 750 hours of instruction in barber courses and methods of teaching in a barber school, or; B. At least one year of work experience as a licensed Class A Barber and one of the following: 1. 500 hours of instruction in barber courses and methods of teaching in a commission-approved training program; 2. 15 semester hours in education courses from an accredited college or university within the 10 years preceding the date of application; 3. Hold an education degree from an accredited college or university, and; C. Pass the required examination. The barbering industry expressed a desire for more Texas barber instructors to train more Class A Barbers. The Barbering Advisory Board, the Commission and TDLR staff acted upon the industry’s suggestion and carried that message to the legislature.

It is no longer just for the young high school graduate. Institutions and associations across the country are offering more and more educational opportunities to groups of all ages seeking the skills and certificates needed to start a new career, or to move up in an existing one. This includes beauty professionals. According to several recent studies, today’s students are far from traditional; they don’t fit the typical age and race demographic, they are less likely to be seeking a four-year degree and they are less interested in a typical classroom setting. Students are increasingly seeking courses that can easily translate into careers. As the economy continues to struggle, professionals already launched in their careers are looking to build their knowledge and keep ahead of industry trends. As student demographics change, so too must the delivery of information. Today’s students are accustomed to using technology in their daily lives and expect their course work to incorporate technological advances. One of the suggested by-products of modern technology is a dependence on visual stimulation and constant engagement. Traditional classroom settings involving a white-board and lecture are less acceptable to today’s students who want to learn at their own pace. A recent PBA survey asked beauty professionals about their educational preferences. Of the survey participants, 58 percent reported having already participated in some form of web-based education, citing the ability to work at their own pace as a major advantage to online learning. When asked what factors affected their decision to seek online education, participants overwhelmingly listed cost, time away from work, and convenience as the critical factors. Education, like all segments of the market, must adapt to meet the changing needs and demands of its consumers. Online education, also known as distance learning, is a natural response to these changing needs. Students report an appreciation for the ondemand element of distance learning; access to their course work from any location at any hour of the day. Additionally, and key to its success is the fact that Web-based education is often a fraction of the cost when compared to classroom-based educational institutions. The most interesting factor yet is that online education may be more effective than traditional learning. According to a recent study conducted by SRI International for the Department of Education, “On average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving faceto-face instruction.” This study-amassed information spanning 12 years and 99 individual studies to conclude that online learning has some advantages that translate into better comprehension for students. One of the strengths may lie in the ability of online educators to tailor course content to their student’s needs. So how does this all relate to educational trends in the beauty industry? The beauty industry embraces, if not leads, change. Similar to professionals in other industries, beauty professionals are seeking to expand their education and refine their skills to keep up with client demand and stay on the cutting edge. According to the PBA survey, 73 percent of survey participants would be likely to access “on-demand, online content,” and 65.5 percent expressed a likelihood to access “live webinars.” Survey responses mirrored national trends in that they reflect an interest in a variety of sources for continuing education with an emphasis on convenience and cost saving. When asked to identify specific topics of interest outside of technical education, Business Marketing/Branding, Guest Experience and Customer Service, and Managing Profit and Loss ranked top on the list of interests. These topics can easily translate into an online forum. Live webinars have increased in popularity with companies like Behindthechair.com and PBA’s own BeautyU program in partnership with Milady, providing a variety of webinars from technical education to live-stream video. Webinars are a natural extension of online education and a trend that will only get more popular. Webinars are relatively easy to produce, allow for audience interaction through polling and “chats,” and can reach a large audience. Because of the ease of development, webinars are a great medium for providing current and relevant information at low cost to the students. The beauty industry remains exciting because of its constant evolution. Striving to remain current and informed, beauty industry professionals demand their education reflect the same values. As we look to the future of education, we will see more offerings provided in ways that are more creative and allowing for better access to all.
