Cosmetology is the art and science of enhancing the appearance of a person's hair, nails or skin. A cosmetologist is a specialist who enhances an individual's outward appearance by implementing cosmetic treatments. Customers who visit hair or nail salons frequently want specialists to help them look and feel beautiful. We help you understand the various aspects of cosmetology, ranging from hair physiology to essential skincare and everything in between. We begin by introducing you to cosmetology and its different career prospects. After that, we'll teach you about the basic structure of the hair, its composition and the growth cycle. Next, we demonstrate how to use hair products such as shampoo and conditioners effectively. Proper hair grooming ensures that your hair is neat and helps you exude confidence. We will explore hair grooming and how to keep your hair healthy.

Hair colour is an expressive feature that evokes emotions and inspires. However, hair colour requires a high level of technical expertise and commitment. Therefore, we explore some hair colouring techniques such as temporal, gradual and permanent hair colouring. On top of that, we'll show you how to use these procedures to accentuate style and beauty and the methods used to curl and straighten hair. It is normal to lose 100 - 150 hairs per day. But are you losing hair more than you should? Is hair loss hereditary? Can hair health be affected by diet? Discover the various causes of hair loss and how you can mitigate them. Furthermore, we will introduce you to wigs and hair extensions for hair loss camouflaging before delving into the fundamentals of manicure and pedicures.

The skin serves a variety of purposes. The critical aspect is that it safeguards the body from a hostile environment. It is therefore important to take care of your skin. Study basic skincare routines and how the skin aids in the elimination of harmful toxins from the body. The cosmetics business will continue to grow, as will the need for makeup artists. We provide you with some basic makeup techniques, including the main attributes of menopause and age-related problems in women that affect the skin.
