Ok so I have tried to do this and failed miserably a few times... I am going to do better. That being said I have recently been to the Columbus, Ohio Beauty Classic and my brain is full of new knowledge. So much so that I had to take a ton of notes. I have signed up for some certification classes for Chemical peeling and to refresh and update my Microdermabrasion Skills. Sometimes you need to re-certify ;) I have returned to The Artistic Edge Salon and Spa as a skincare and spa specialist and boy am I excited! I have so many things to share with our beautiful clientele! With that I have decided to restart this blog to try to give some good info and share my journey with anyone interested. I will share things regarding the beauty industry but I am not a doctor and I am not telling anyone what to do. Meaning you are taking your beauty needs into your own hands. I strongly advise if some of the things I talk about or describe catch your eye always find an educated licensed professional to perform the service and ask questions. I cannot stress enough how important it is to go to a professional. Doctors, aestheticians, cosmetologists, dermatologists, and several other people with advanced certifications and education are the way to go. The internet is a wonderful place for information and inspiration but I have witnessed so many videos and instructional posts that have been inaccurate and sometimes dangerous. Also I have found many products for sale to the public that should not be used without training. For example you can buy tattoo equipment on Amazon but should you be tattooing yourself and friends in your living room? Absolutely not! Same goes for facial equipment and chemicals.We paid for extra education and practiced in controlled environments to be able to do what we do safely and correctly. Just because you can buy it on the internet does not mean it was meant for use at home or without advanced knowledge. Please be safe guys! Ok enough of that! I will return with some happy little tid bits you can do yourself to perk up. Till then... safe beauty please!
