I think one of the biggest misconceptions of cosmetology today is that its only focus is cutting/styling hair & not beauty & wellness as a whole. Beauty in the field of cosmetology is a combination of hair, skin & nail care as well as facial grooming, like waxing. Wellness ties into this because no matter what type of services may be rendered, beauty is much deeper than the surface.

I feel that when a woman or man is coming in for any kind of service they are coming not only to satisfy their outward appearance but also the need to relax & be pampered is cosmetology as a whole. I want my guests to come in feeling as if they are away on vacation. I want them to be relaxed, yet rejuvenated when they leave my chair, not just simply leaving my chair with only thinking that they got a new haircut or style. I also want them to learn something deeper about the profession and what it is I love to do.

Cosmetology is something that is easily misconstrued because the typical view is that it’s all about hair & makeup and it’s more than that. In my opinion it’s a way of life.
