The Hair Industry’s Missing Piece
Cosmetology school is phenomenal for those wanting to learn how to cut, color, style, or braid hair! But unfortunately, cosmetology programs do not educate on scalp health beyond its basic anatomy and physiology. The state of someone’s scalp health plays a major role in their overall hair experience. Stylists not only interact with their client’s scalps on a daily basis, but they are also in the unique position to influence and educate others on how to improve their scalp health.
Additionally, cosmetology programs have zero curriculum on haircare products, their ingredients, or how to correctly recommend haircare and scalpcare products to their hair clients. This is ironic considering that the vast majority of hair salons rely on haircare sales and stylists recommend products to their clients as they walk out the door.
To date, there is no continued education program on haircare knowledge… UNTIL NOW!
