Cosmetology isn’t just learning how to put make-up on, or doing hair do’s. It’s a whole different world, it’s about taking care of your skin, experts say.

“The cosmetology program at PCC is teaching students different branches of cosmetology (hair styling, facials, nails),” said Teresa Brown, a cosmetology instructor.

 “Skin is the most important thing that everyone should worry about,” said Brown. She has been working in the business for 28 years.

Brown strongly recommends wearing sun block. “If you put on sun block before leaving your house, you are preventing yourself from aging faster and getting spots on your face,” said Brown.

Darla Glover, cosmetology, knew she always wanted to learn cosmetology. She was always doing her sisters’ hair before they would go to school. This month, Glover won an award at the SIBE Hairshow in Los Angeles.

“I love studying [cosmetology] it has taught me so many new things, especially how to take care of my skin,” said Glover. She recommends for women to use products for their face, since it helps the skin get a healthier glow. 

Ashley Meyers, cosmetology, has been in the program for nine months. “I love coming here every day, the teachers are great, they’re always helping students,” said Meyers.

Meyers recommends women to use make-up brands that will help their skin, and now make them clog your pores. “The products that women get, shouldn’t have that many chemicals, because it can cause damage to the skin,” said Meyers.

Collen Cayocaa, cosmetology, is in the  program because she wants to help women feel better about themselves, “I want for women to see that they are beautiful, I want to help them feel confident about themselves,” said Cayocca.

B rown, Glover, Meyers and Cayocca all agree that sun block is the most important thing that women should always wear.
