Choosing a salon for a facial can be challenging. Nowadays the competition between numerous beauty salons for customers is fierce. To attract customers, beauty salons will invest a lot into advertisement, exterior and interior design. However don’t let a catchy advertisement or stylish couches in the waiting room influence your choice of beauty salon. The owners could have invested in the "looks" but not the essentials; such as hiring highly trained, educated, professional personnel.

Some of the criteria one should take into account when deciding on a salon include
Highly Trained Experienced Personnel Clean Premises Modern Quality Equipment Quality Trustworthy Professional Beauty Products used for treatments

Before you make an appointment at a beauty salon make a tour. This way you will have a chance to look at the premises, get to know the personnel better and get a feeling about the facilities. Ask as many questions as you need to make sure you will get a high quality treatment.
Remember, you will entrust your health and beauty into the hands of a beauty salon esthetician. You have every right to request information about the education, training and experience the personnel at a beauty salon have. Below we help to clarify the issues you should know about.
Licensing Requirements: In the U.S., to work at a beauty salon an sthetician or a cosmetologist has to obtain a license that allows them to perform certain cosmetic procedures.

In many parts of the world not only the beauty salon has to have a license to provide beauty services but the personnel as well. However requirements for obtaining a license can differ. For example to perform facials an esthetician is usually required to complete a course from a certified cosmetology school, although the amount of time varies from under 300 to over 1200 educational hours. Licenses also regulate delegating responsibilities.

Esthetician/facialist vs Cosmetologist: Who has the right training to perform a facial or who should you request to perform a facial on you?
Unfortunately, there is a widespread confusion on the difference between an esthetician and a cosmetologist. Some sources would use both words as synonyms and state that: “A cosmetologist, sometimes called a beautician, a beauty specialist, or an aesthetician or esthetician, is a worker who specializes in giving beauty treatments.” However to be more precise, a cosmetologist has a more general training and is trained to perform various procedures including manicures, hair cutting, styling, scalp, face, neck and arms massage, as well as facial beauty treatments. Estheticians or facialists, on the other hand, do specialize in skin beauty treatments and especially facial cosmetic treatments. One more confusing factor is that in various countries as well as in various states in the USA rofessional titles of licenses issued by License Departments for the same training can vary: instead of esthetician the title can be a beautician or a facialist etc. In any case, remember cosmetologists, estheticians or facialists are not medical doctors and cannot perform intensive, invasive, serious skin-treatments medium or deep peeling, mesotherapy, Botox injections, laser resurfacing etc. Such procedures are to be performed by professionals with special medical education. here is a more confusing situation with dermabrasion as an esthetician or facialist is allowed to perform exfoliation of dead cells on the epidermis level of the skin, however they are not allowed to do any manipulations involving dermis (living tissue). This way they can provide light dermabrasion treatments.

In some countries high quality modern salons will hire estheticians with both cosmetic training and medical education. Prices at such salon might be higher but if you are considering a more serious procedure than just a classical facial, it might well be worth spending the money. However, in other countries, such as the USA, you may have to seek out a dermatologist to get such treatments. Or ask your esthetician for a recommendation.

Cultural Differences in Beauty Treatments
Skin care techniques and approach to skin care differ from culture to culture. hen you go on vacation overseas and decide to treat yourself to a day at a spa including massage and a facial there is a chance that you will have a somewhat different experience than the one you are used to. For example, a Western European woman might experience discomfort from the techniques used during a facial massage in an Asian or Middle-Eastern country. ther massage techniques are used in these cultures and to those not familiar with them such massage can appear as more intensive than the one they are used to receiving at a Western salon.
Various cultures have various perception and various accepted "rules" about skin-care procedures. For example, in Western cultures it is commonly accepted that a facial mask should not touch the areas of eyes or lips either when applied or when taken away. But this is not necessarily a rule in some other countries.

Despite all the above mentioned, do not deny yourself a relaxing spa experience on vacation overseas. Always be careful when choosing your Spa and Beauty Salon either you are travelling or not, and make sure you can communicate with your esthetician well (we recommend there is a language you both can speak!). In case you decided to have an authentic skin-care experience, but in the course of it you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, do not suffer in silence till the end of it, as you might have skin irritation or worse.

Skin Care: Cleaning
You want to keep your skin clear and healthy looking while taking care of it by cleansing it is a daily ritual. You should not use the bar soaps you would use for a bath on your face for skin care because they can dry the skin on your face. You have to choose the right cleanser for your skin type, so you need to know what type you have. Most of the cleansing products contain oil, water, and surfactants. The oil in it will get rid of the oil on your skin, while the surfactants dissolve the dirt and makeup, and the water washes it away for you. You have to find the right one for you because too much oil will clog your pores, which can give you blackheads and ugly pimples. On the other hand, not enough will dry out your skin, which can cause it to become rough, cracked, and flaky.

You do not want to wash your face too often. Once a day should be enough and many women do this at night before bed. Don’t use hot water alone or cold water alone this will cause broken blood vessels. You should always use a cleanser to remove makeup.

This is how you should do your facial cleansing. You will want to use an exfoliate. Your skin will see a noticeable difference right away. Do this once a week is a good recommendation. Another way to exfoliate your skin is by chemical peels because these seem to take off five years! If you cannot afford one you, can get peels at the store and see results in about a month.
You should apply moisturizer to keep your skin your skin at it best but do not over do it. If your skin feels tight then apply, other wise do not. If you do it too much, it may clog pores.
Keep a daily to weekly routine and your skin will glow. There are kits on the makeup shelves that have everything in it for your specific skin type to do a whole cleansing ceremony. These are nice to have so you know exactly what to use for your skin care type. Stay out of the sun and if you go outdoors for any length of time, use a sunscreen.

Hair Care or Hair Tips
Let's begin with the right way to wash your hair. Yes, there actually is a right way to do. The right way experts say is to wet your hair with warm water to allow the hair follicles to open up, then put the shampoo in your hands and rub your hands together and work in the shampoo from your scalp to the ends. Then rinse your hair with cool or cold water to close the hair follicles. Many people will not rinse with cold water so try to get as close to cool water. Then the age old questions remains to air dry or blow dry. One is really no better than the other way. It all is a matter or preference. There are advantages and disadvantages for both. Air drying takes longer than blow drying but blow drying can cause heat damage. Hair is very weak when it is wet so make sure that you don't pull or tug at it. Blow drying the hair will also add volume top to your hair.

Everyone has a different type of hair, some have normal, some have oily and some have combination. If you have combination hair then this is how you could go about taking care of it. First by the method we provided above, wash your hair properly. Avoid using shampoos that are for oily hair only, it may actually make your hair worse. Try using the shampoo for normal hair instead.
Always use conditioner but use a rinse off never use a leave in conditioner. With conditioner apply to the tips of the hair not to your scalp and then rinse with cold water to lock in the moisture. It will also prevent the hair from secreting too much oil. Try using a deep cleaning conditioner at least once a week.
If you want to you can switch out olive oil for commercial shampoo. Try to have your hair trimmed once every two months to get rid of split ends. Split ends also make for brittle hair.You can spend a lot of money for hair care products why should you do that when you can use mayonnaise to clean your hair, simply apply mayo to your hair and wait a minute and rinse. For a better shine add a teaspoon of lemon juice if you are blond and apple cider vinegar to water if you are a brunette or redhead.

Skin Care:
Astringents. People who have oily skin have an astringent in their skin care cabinet. Astringents are similar to toners except these are formulated to penetrate into your pores and dissolve the sebum. You apply it after you have cleansed your skin. Use a cotton pad to rub it on your face and it will remove other excess items left behind after washing. When you apply this, you can feel your skin has a cool feeling. This will help tighten your pores so all the oil and impurities will not get in. Astringents are also used for skin allergies, small wounds, insect bites, and athlete’s foot. You always want to make sure you get one that has a pure alcohol base. These are the safest for your skin and will not dry it out like other skin care products. For a great home astringent cut up a cucumber and put it on your face. Keep it there for a few minutes and rinse with warm water. This will makes your face feel so refreshed.

Skin Care:
Moisturizing. Good skin care is for people with dry, oily, or sensitive skin. These types of skin can be a pain to deal with and a huge hassle when you are trying to protect your skin. By just going outside your skin is introduced to all kinds of things that can cause your skin to age before its time. The best thing for your skin is moisturizing.

You can go online and find yourself some great homemade recipes for moisturizing creams and lotions. This is a good way to save money and an easy way to get the product you need and desire. All you have to do is go online, search for it and then follow whatever recipe you choose to make and then you are on your way to healthy skin.

You can get moisturizing creams, lotions, body washes, and any other type of skin care product you can think of. All of these products can leave your skin moisturizing fresh. For dry skin, this will leave your skin smooth and softer. For oily skin, it will help fight away the oil and leave your skin looking healthy and smooth. Moisturizing creams leave sensitive skin smooth and also will help protect the skin as well for people who react to the outside weather and such.
When going outside make sure to use a sunscreen that has a moisturizing cream. Make sure to apply a moisturizing cream before bed every night to keep your skin moisturized and healthy everyday. You can go online to find more tips on keeping your skin moisturizing all day and everyday. You can find products online or at your local store in the beauty section.

Just keep in mind that if you have sensitive skin, to make sure whatever moisturizing creams or lotions you use, that it does not contain any fragrance or any other allergens that may make you break out.

Moisturizing creams or lotions are very important to use to keep your skin smooth, soft, and oily free. Try to use a moisturizing cream or lotion on your skin at least once a day. You can apply this in the morning or at night before bed, whichever time is best for you. This is a good and easy way to keep your skin filled with moisture and keep it from breaking out in pimples, acne, or black heads. Remember, to use the correct type of moisturizer for your type of skin, if you choose the wrong type you may over moisturize or under moisturize which will cause you problems.

Beauty Tips for Men
Many men will not admit to needing beauty tips but deep down some men are just as insecure about their looks as women are. Men freak out at the sign of gray hair as much as women do, the best way to years off the way you look is to get rid of gray hair. You should begin covering it up as soon as you begin to see it, if you wait until there is a lot then it becomes more noticeable. By using products like Just for Men you can color that gray away.

If you have hair that is a little on the long side and you start to notice that you are going bald. Try cutting your hair to a shorter style. Avoid the comb over altogether it just makes you seem older. As you begin to lose hair on top you may notice nose, ear and back hair. You can trim ear and nose hair and if you wish to you can get a wax to remove any unwanted back hair.

For skin care, try using a light moisturizer on the skin with sunscreen. It is just as good for men to get into a daily regimen for skin care. Do a cleansing then use an exfoliate scrub or mask and then follow with a light moisturizer. Once your skin begins to get smoother and softer, shaving won’t be such a chore. Also include your hands and feet in your daily grooming routine. Use a pumice stone to remove dead skin cells and then moisturize, you don’t have to use the pumice every day but try to do it at least once a week.

Some extra grooming tips are: If you are not the ironing type of person then right after drying your clothes in the dryer remove them so they do not wrinkle. In the warm and hot weather, wear light colors and cotton clothes. These fabrics will absorb less heat and any stains will be kept at a minimum. Also, to avoid embarrassing stains, consider trimming or shaving your under arm hair. There will be fewer odors and you will actually be cooler.

Here is a tip for extending the life of your razors:
buy a bottle of mineral oil and some rubbing alcohol. When you are done shaving, clean out the razor and dry them. Then completely submerse the razor head in a shallow dish of mineral oil, use the rubbing alcohol to wash away the mineral oil.

Hair Care Professional- Breaking One In
Beauty Salon- It is so important for us to find the right beauty salon so that we can have the right look at the right time. However, there are certain things that beauty salon owners don't want you to know.

Let me give you some general guidelines and tips to use when you are looking for a new beauty salon. I will also include some helpful suggestions about how to deal with your hair stylist.
1. How far is the beauty salon from your home or work? Is it convenient to either or both?
2. Telephone the salon. Ask if their hair care stylists have experience with your type of hair. For example, is your hair long, curly, textured or exposed to frequent changes to hair color, heat and the elements?
3. Search the Internet for reviews of beauty salons in your work or home zip codes.
4. It seems obvious, but it's crucial: Who do you know whose hair looks fabulous? Ask them where (and to whom) they go.
5. When you get to the beauty salon what does the atmosphere FEEL like to you? Is it peaceful or stressful? Which do you prefer?
6. Are you greeted right away or are you forced to wander around or twiddle your thumbs until someone attends to you?
7. If you've made an appointment is it kept and on time?
8. Is the beauty salon clean and well organized? Does everything seem to be in its place?
9. How is the staff dressed? Are they dressed appropriately to your taste?
10. What does the hair of the staff look like to you? Is the hair of the staff professionally done or is it sloppy?
Ok, you've decided that the beauty salon environment is satisfactory, now how do you deal with the hair stylist?
11. Collect and bring pictures that are appropriate for your type of hair. The biggest beauty salon hair disasters occur when your hair stylist doesn't understand what you want. Pictures help convey your message.
12. Don't immediately go for a cut, take it slower. Book a blow-dry with your selected stylist. Ask, if you were to cut my hair, how would you do it? Once you've set aside the time for a real consultation, here are some key questions to ask yourself as you talk to your stylist:

DO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE with the hair care stylist? You should like his or her sense of style. This means clothing, grooming, personality, everything.
IS THE STYLIST ASKING YOU questions, giving ideas and suggestions that relate to your personality, rather than pointing to a style on the wall or in a book?
IS THE HAIR CARE STYLIST ADDRESSING the health of your hair, not just proposing to cut off split ends? The two of you should be talking about conditioners and rinses that enhance shine and bounce, and special treatments that can prevent or repair damage done by the environment, such as pollution, sun, chlorine, humidity, or dry air.
ONCE YOU'VE AGREED ON A LOOK, does the stylist preview how you'll need to blow it dry, wash it, and maintain it? These are all things to think about before actually getting the cut.
If you can answer most of the questions to your satisfaction, then you've probably found a beauty salon and a hair stylist that will make you look fabulous. If you cannot, then move on to the next beauty salon on your list.
