Cosmetology

Specialists usually must complete a state-approved barber or cosmetology program. Admission to these programs varies by state, with some requiring a high school diploma or equivalent. Programs typically involve a mix of classroom studies and hands-on training and lead to a certificate or other postsecondary nondegree award. Some states require health and safety training as part of these programs

Workers may continue to take advanced courses in hairstyling or in other personal appearance services throughout their careers to keep up with the latest trends. Those who want to open their own business also may benefit from taking courses in sales and marketing.

Barbers, hairstylists, and cosmetologists must obtain a license in order to work. Qualifications for a license vary by state. Generally, a person must meet state-specified minimum age requirements, have a high school diploma or equivalent, and have graduated from a state-licensed barber or cosmetology school. After completing a state-approved training program, graduates take a state licensing exam that includes a written test and, in some cases, a practical test of styling skills or an oral exam. A fee usually is required to apply for a license, and continuing education units (CEUs) may be required with periodic license renewals.

Modeling

Models must put together and maintain an up-to-date portfolio and composite cards. A portfolio is a collection of a model’s previous work, while a composite card contains the best photographs from a model’s portfolio, along with his or her body measurements. Both portfolios and composite cards are typically taken to all casting calls and client auditions.

Because advertisers often need to target specific segments of the population, models may specialize in a certain area. For example, petite and plus-size fashions are modeled by women whose sizes are respectively smaller and larger than that worn by the typical model. Models who are disabled may be used to model fashions or products for consumers with disabilities. 'Parts' models have a body part, such as a hand or foot, particularly well suited to model products such as nail polish or shoes.

• Display clothing and merchandise in print and online advertisements.
• Promote products and services in television commercials.
• Wear designers’ clothing for runway fashion shows.
• Represent companies and brands at conventions, trade shows, and other events.
• Work closely with photographers, hair and clothing stylists, makeup artists, and clients to produce a desired look.
Create and maintain a portfolio of their work.
• Travel to meet and interview with potential clients.
• Conduct research on the product being promoted—for example, the designer or type of clothing fabrics.

Models appear in different types of media to promote a product or service. Models advertise products and merchandise in magazine or newspaper advertisements, department store catalogs, or television commercials. Models often prepare for photo shoots or fashion shows by having their hair and makeup done by professionals in those industries. The hairstylists and makeup artists may touch up the model’s hair and makeup and change the model’s look throughout the event. Models participate in photo shoots and strike poses for photographers.

Almost all models sign with modeling agencies. Agencies represent and promote a model to clients in return for a portion of the model’s earnings. Models typically apply for a position with an agency by submitting their photographs through its website or by attending open casting calls and meeting with agents directly. Models must research an agency before signing, in order to ensure that the agency has a good reputation in the modeling industry.

Most modeling agencies allow applicants to email photos directly to the agency. The agency will then contact and interview prospective models who show potential. Many agencies also have “open calls,” whereby aspiring models can walk into an agency during a specified time and meet directly with agents and clients.

SKIN-CARE PRODUCTS

Skin care is an integral part of 'GUARD THE GATES.' A lot of disruption is due to the skin interface, not just with environmental toxins like pollution, and poorly-designed consumer products, but also due to a lack of understanding of the nature and functioning of skin.

Further, attend to lung-care, mouth-care, gut-care, and the other gates through which the body is interfacing with the external environment. The body was designed quite expertly, and supercedes human attempts to intervene.
