CAREERS IN COSMETOLOGY
As a beginning student in Cosmetology, you probably thought about your career as being something in the distant future. Actually, that career is not very far away. You have already taken the first step, and before you know it, a wide range of exciting and challenging opportunities will be yours.
COSMETOLOGY IS THE ART AND SCIENCE OF BEAUTY CARE.
A person who is licensed to perform these services is a cosmetologist. A COSMETOLOGIST is involved with the care of the skin, hair, scalp and nails, and related occupations.
One of the reasons you will have such a wide variety of opportunities because COSMETOLOGY is an art and a science as well as a business. ( If you are interested in sciences, there are positions that emphasize this kind of skill.)
ETHICS: Deals with the proper conduct and business dealings of cosmetologist in relation to their employer, clients and co-workers.
The essential considerations in ethics are:
4. Respect for the feelings and rights of others.
The ethical cosmetologist always gives the best possible service to clients, keeping in mind their desires, needs, and welfare.
GOOD ETHICS: Builds public confidence and increase patronage, a good cosmetologist should live up to these rules of ethics:
1. Acquire a thorough knowledge about the theory and practice of cosmetology.
2. Believe in the beauty profession sincerely and practice it faithfully.
3. Keep your word and fulfill your obligations.
4. Obey all provisions and rules of the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.
5. Cherish a good reputation. Set an example of good conduct and behavior.
6. Courteous, friendly and dignified to clients.
7. Treat all clients honestly and fairly; do not show any favoritism.
8. Loyal to your employer, manager and associates.
PERSONAL GROOMING: Refers to one's daily appearance and cleanliness.
1. Freshly laundered clothes.
2. Clean polished shoes.
3. Neatly manicured nails.
4. Properly cleansed skin
5. Hair neatly arranged.
6. Pleasant at all times.
Orientation Page 8 of 39

PERSONAL HYGIENE: Personal hygiene is the daily routine you follow to preserve and promote your health.
1. Bathe or shower frequently.
2. Use mouthwash frequently. (Prevent halitosis, hal-i-to-sis )
3. Good nutritional diet and lung).
(proper balance of meat, fish, eggs, fruit and vegetable, milk and cereal.)
4. Vigorous physical exercise (provides a fast, continuous pumping of blood throughout the heart
RELAXATION: "Get away from it all,” we all need a chance of pace. It might be reading a good book, watching television, or going for a walk. (Change of pace for both mind and body.)
GOOD POSTURE: Proper shoes stand correctly, etc.
VERBAL COMMUNICATION: Concern WHAT is said and HOW it is said. A good rule of thumb is an old saying: Many times HOW you say something is much more important than WHAT you say.
(Telephone, even temper, etc.)
NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION: Sometimes called body language, involves the expression you display when talking to a client.
ALLERGY: Check with your doctor regularly.
COLOR BLINDNESS: Is a partial or total inability to see colors. While blindness to reds and greens is permitted for students to do hair coloring, blindness to browns and blondes could keep the student from performing haircoloring services.
OFFICIAL HAIR FASHION COMMITTEE: This is the educational arm of the National Hairdressers and Cosmetologist Association.
RESEARCH TECHNICIAN: Work for a cosmetic manufacturer. The technician usually works in the research salon and tests new products and compares them to determine their quality, safety, cost and marketability.
FIELD TECHNICIAN: Travels extensively throughout an area (one or several states) and demonstrates a manufacturer's product in salons, schools, and educational seminars. Research and field technicians must be of legal age, eighteen to twenty-one years old, depending on the state in which they work.
COMPETITION or PLATFORM HAIRSTYLISTS: In addition to working in a salon, must have a creative flair and enjoy the challenge of competing or performing before large audiences. A hairstyling contest is an event in which cosmetologists challenge each other's hairdressing skills. Hairstyles are judged for originality, execution, adaptability, and trend. ORIGINALITY refers to general design of the style. EXECUTION refers to how well the design was set and combed into the hair. ADAPTABILITY refers to the suitability of the hairstyle. (Did the hairstyle improve the appearance of the model?)
TREND is the basic silhouette and design form which the contestants work. Most contests have their own special rules that are distributed before each contest.
PLATFORM DEMONSTRATOR: Often is a cosmetologist who repeatedly wins contests and are offered job to conduct platform demonstrations at educational seminars for manufacturers. Platform artists are paid a daily rate in addition to all expenses for travel, meals, and lodging. The favorable publicity that contestants and platform stylists receive can help increase their clientele.

DISINFECTION
WHAT MUST BE DISINFECTED?
Any item that touches a customer must be disinfected before it can be used on another person. If it cannot be disinfected (such as emery boards, neck strips, cotton pads, etc.), it must be thrown away immediately after use. Towels, sheets, gowns, etc. must be washed before they are used on another person.
HOW TO DISINFECT:
WASH - with soap or detergent and water. If necessary, use a scrub brush to remove any foreign matter.
RINSE*- in clean water.
DRY* - with a clean cloth or towel. This is important so the disinfection solution does not get diluted.
IMMERSE - instruments in an EPA-registered disinfectant used according to manufacturer’s instructions. Instruments must be totally-immersed in the disinfectant.
Use a properly mixed EPA-registered disinfectant that has demonstrated bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal activity. The disinfectant solution must be mixed and available for use at all times.
The disinfectant must be covered at all times and changed whenever visibly cloudy or dirty or at least one a week.
DRY* - with a clean cloth or towel.
STORE - all disinfected items in a clean, covered place . The container must be labeled to identify the items as clean.
*These steps are not required in the law or regulations as part of the disinfection process. However, it is recommended that licensees include these additional steps to achieve the maximum benefits of the disinfection process.

SANITARY MAINTENANCE AREA PROCEDURES
Purpose: To maintain previously disinfected implements in a sanitary condition while serving the client.
There are two methods which can be used to maintain sanitary conditions in the individual work areas to afford the maximum protection to the client and the technician.
There are two acceptable sanitary maintenance areas (S.M.A.’s); one or the other must be used.
NOTE: Due to its porous nature, the orangewood stick cannot be properly
Disinfected and the technician must cover the end with fresh, clean cotton to avoid contact with the skin.
DRY SANITARY MAINTENANCE AREA
1.
Use a clean paper towel to maintain a sanitary work area.
2.
Place previously disinfected implements to be used on this paper towel.
3.
Place the towel and implements on a clean working surface and begin the client service.
4.
Implements to be re-used must be wiped free of lotions, creams, or organic
5.
matter prior to returning them to the sanitary maintenance area.
At the conclusion of the service the implements must be properly disinfected before re-use, and the paper towel must be disposed of. A sanitary cloth towel may be used in place of paper but should not be confused with the normal table set-up. A separate towel is required .
WET SANITARY MAINTENANCE AREA
NOTE: A wet sanitizer may be used for any service. If used, it is placed on the
individual while confused with the disinfectant container. Use of a wet sanitizer on
The work station cannot take the place of approved disinfection
Techniques outlined on pages 1 and 2.
1.
A wet sanitizer is only used after an implement has already been correctly disinfected.
2.
Sanitizing solution (sometimes known as holding solutions) placed in a wet sanitizer must completely cover the useable portion of the implements. Fill the
Container ¾ of the way leaving only the implements’ handle uncovered.
Orientation Page 24 of 39

Revised 5/02
O-16 a.
Holding solutions may be:
1. An EPA registered disinfectant with bactericidal, fungicidal, and viricidal activity.
2. Clean, soapy water.
3. The container must be sanitary and made of plastic or glass and be large enough
to all implements to be used for the operation.
4. Container bottom may contain clean cotton to protect the sharp or pointed tips of the implements to be used.
5.
6.
Implements to be re-used must be wiped free of lotions, creams or organic matter prior to returning the implement to the wet sanitary maintenance area.
The wet sanitizer must be emptied at the completion of each individual client’s
7. service. It must be washed with soap and water prior to storage for re-use.
Articles dropped must be picked up with a clean tissue and washed with soap and water, rinsed, disinfected again or, if time does not permit, placed in a properly labeled container for soiled implements.
NOTE: If the hands become soiled they must be re-sanitized by washing with soap and water.
