BEAUTY SCHOOL INVOLVES PRACTICAL AND WRITTEN WORK

In Cosmetology College, students spend much time practicing hands-on training with mannequins and with clients from the beauty school’s student salon. With every aspect of hands-on training, the student will also study theory subjects that are relative. For instance, before you begin to perform color services on your mannequin or client, you will need to understand the anatomy and chemistry that will be involved with that process. Many hairdressing students are all ready talented and creative with hair – they may have always been the one who ended up styling half a dozen updos for prom night. Or, they have been experimenting with their family member’s hair since they were in elementary school. But – in order to pass the state board licensing exam, these talented aspiring stylists will also need to understand the anatomy and chemistry involved in hair dressing. They may have to understand what the degrees of decolorization are, what the apex is, and what that particular state’s laws regarding cosmetology are. Below, are some examples of definitions a student may learn in beauty school. Go briefly over them, then take the short quiz at the end to see how fun cosmetology theory can be.

Apex: the highest point or summit; in cosmetology this is the top of one’s head.

Arcing: A razor technique which removes length by moving the cutting tool in a curve suggestive of an arc.

Bevel: A technique in which the ends of hair are tapered on top or underneath in order to influence the form line to cup up or under.

Celestial Sphere: In cosmetology this refers to a measurement system which has dimension of depth as well as width and height that establishes the levels of space that surround the head.

Degrees of decolorization: The series or steps of decolorization the hair goes through as the melanin changes in a scale of intensity.

Esthetician: A specialist in or devotee of esthetics and beauty; an individual who practices the work of cleaning and beautifying the skin (also aesthetician).

Etching: A razor technique where length is removed with a brief stroke of the razor; executed on the ends of the hair.

Notching: Procedures used to create irregular hair lengths, mainly for the appearance of a chunky texture.
