How to Attend a Trade Show
by Debbie Doerrlamm
Attending a trade show or seminar is a fantastic means of learning about new products
and new techniques.
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.

Charlene Abretske
Opening a business has a sort of romantic
connotation to it, not unlike falling in love.
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.

Continuing (Mis) Education?
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.

Getting Involved Becoming Evolved
The Mane Objective
Marco Pelusi
Sarah Caldwell said, “Learn everything you
can, anytime you can, from anyone you can there will always come a time when you will
be grateful you did.”
As a life-long learner, I am always looking
for original ways to do things, always adding to
my own education, and always ready to share
anything new with anyone, anywhere.
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. It really does not matter

Esthetic Endeavors
Judith Culp
I was walking with a close friend and
colleague after work the other evening when
my friend commented she often noticed how
confident I am and how I live a balanced life.
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.

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.

Continuing Education is a Building Block for a Successful Career
Strictly for Students
LeAnne Velona
The best careers begin with the best in
education and experience.
Whether it is perfecting your craft, learning new skills, staying ahead of beauty trends
or being able to offer your clients the latest in
styles and services, there are many reasons to
further your beauty education.
Think of continuing education courses
as the building blocks for a successful career
in beauty. 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.

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

10 | SEPTEMBER 2011 | TEXAS STYLIST & SALON
Senate Bill 1170 made several changes and additions to the barbering industry laws.
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. To read S.B.
1170 in its entirety, find it on the Texas Legislature Online at:

Online Education Trends
Catering to Today’s Student
By Kelley McCarthy, PBA Education and Training Manager
Beauty Insider
Steve Sleeper
Traditional education has taken a very nontraditional turn in recent years. 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.
