Federico Beauty Institute News and Events New and Events Thu, 4 Mar 2010 09:00:00 EST http://www.federico.edu http://www.federico.edu/_img/federicoRSS.png Federico Beauty Institute News and Events http://www.federico.edu Federico Beauty Institute Students Attend ISSE Conference From January 30 through February 1, Federico students were given the incredible opportunity to attend the International Salon and Spa Expo in Long Beach, California. With a full itinerary, Federico students spent the weekend learning about all of the latest salon and spa services and techniques. They attended demonstrations, presentations, and classes over the course of the three days that contributed to both their school credit hours and their development as beauty professionals.

Among the newest services available in salons and spas across the country is Brazilian Keratin Treatments. This special service is a non-chemical treatment that smoothes and straightens any type of hair, and the results can last up to four months. By attending on-site seminars, Federico students became certified in Brazilian Keratin Treatments. In addition, students also became certified in Hair Lock extensions, through the company Bella Donna Milan. The extensions certification program taught our students everything they will need to know about applying, removing, cutting, and styling extensions. Adding both of these to the repertoire of services they will be able to offer to future clients gives our students an edge over the competition.

In December, nine Federico students experienced the trip of a lifetime, as they travelled to Australia for a week to study at two Pivot Point International schools.

Students began the journey with a 15 hour flight out of Los Angeles on December 5, 2009. They arrived in Melbourne, Australia on December 6th, and began sight-seeing right away. The first day was filled with an Orientation Sightseeing Tour of the city, including a stop at the Immigration Museum. After checking into the Travelodge Southbank Melbourne hotel and exploring the city, students had dinner on the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant. The restaurant is a working tramcar that travels through the streets of Melbourne as passengers enjoy a five course dinner inside!

Jobs for estheticians are expected to grow by 34% in the next few years.* There is still a large demand out there for the services of estheticians, and it will continue to grow as people focus on anti-aging skin treatments and medical services. While everyday clients may be cutting back, there are still people out there who will need and want the services of an esthetician on a regular basis. There are many opportunities for increasing your client base and helping your esthetics career grow.

As an esthetician you will give valuable advice to your clients, helping them choose a skincare regimen that will work in their everyday lives.
