How to get Pinterest Hair

Does anyone remember when salons used to have those books with all the different hairstyles?

Today when I have a client who wants something different than her normal style, she shows me an image straight from Pinterest!  Amazing!

Here's the deal though...
What you see may not be what you get so I've put together some tips on how to be prepared for your salon consultation using Pinterest.

A Cosmetology Students Word

It doesn't mean much to you as a blog reader, unless you are a licensed cosmetologist.  But the truth is this, I am not a professional hairstylist until I am licensed.  And that's the goal.  To get licensed.  There's a lot of training involved in my state and it's not easy or mindless.  It's valid and required.  And I honor this profession more from behind the chair than I ever did sitting in it.

There is a lot of scary information out there on the inter-web about the cases serious skin cancer and related deaths. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer and every year the numbers go up and up.

The problem however, isn't that we don't know that we should be protecting our skin it's the fact that skin cancer typically happens when we are much older. And because skin cancer can arise from skin that has been damaged years and years prior, it becomes a out of sight - out of mind situation.
