HISTORY OF COSMETOLOGY & CAREERS

In this class, through visual slides and group discussions, students will learn about Cosmetology. 
We will learn that Cosmetology is a term used to encompass a broad range of specialty areas. 
Specialty areas in Cosmetology are hair-styling, nail technology, and esthetics. 
Cosmetology is defined as the art and science of beautifying and improving the skin, nails, and hair. 
Students will also learn that Cosmetology includes the study of cosmetics and their application.
Here are some examples of what students will learn about;
 The origins of appearance enhancement. 
The advancements made specifically in Cosmetology during the nineteenth, through early twenty-first centuries. 
What tools for cosmetic applications were made from, The reasons and what they were used for. 
How they were used for application for skin care, hair care and nail care, etc. 
What kind of materials (berries, honey, milk, etc) that were used, how and what they were used for on the hair, skin and nails.

*Parents please contact me before class if you have any questions about the material discussed. 
I would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
