Benefits Of A Good Beauty Routine

Boosts Confidence:

One of the primary benefits of a good beauty routine is the confidence it instills. Taking the time to care for your skin, hair, and overall appearance can boost self-esteem and provide a positive outlook. When you look good, you feel good, and confidence radiates from within.

Promotes Relaxation and Self-Care:

Your beauty routine is not just about physical appearance; it’s an opportunity for self-care. Whether it’s a luxurious skincare ritual or a calming haircare routine, these moments contribute to your overall well-being. Taking time for yourself can be a therapeutic and relaxing experience.

Healthy Skin and Hair:

A consistent beauty routine contributes to the health of your skin and hair. Proper cleansing, moisturizing, and nourishing treatments help maintain skin elasticity, prevent breakouts, and promote a radiant complexion. Similarly, a well-maintained haircare routine supports strong, shiny, and manageable locks.

Anti-Aging Benefits:

Many beauty products are formulated with anti-aging properties. Regular use of these products can help combat signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. Investing in quality skincare and makeup products ensures that you not only look good now but also maintain a youthful appearance over time.

Establishes Healthy Habits:

A beauty routine encourages the development of healthy habits. From staying hydrated to getting enough sleep, these practices contribute to your overall health. Consistency in your beauty routine can spill over into other aspects of your life, promoting a holistic approach to well-being.

Expresses Creativity and Individuality:

Your beauty routine is a form of self-expression. Experimenting with different makeup looks, hairstyles, and nail art allows you to showcase your creativity and individuality. Phagans School of Hair Design celebrates diversity and encourages you to express your unique style through your beauty routine.

What Programs Does Phagans School of Hair Design Offer?

At Phagans School of Hair Design, we offer many different educational paths within the beauty industry. We know each student is unique and has different career goals. That’s why we’ve made it easy for you to learn what’s important to you!

We offer a full program, several dual programs, and a few standalone programs.

Full Program

Our full program is your fastest track to becoming a full specialist! It combines learning in all three branches of cosmetology: Hair Design, Nail Technology, and Esthetics. If you want to become a well-rounded cosmetologist, this course is for you! There are also many benefits to learning more than one specialty that can help you find a thriving career.

This program is 1835 hours of instruction and starts with classes in Hair Design. You will branch out into learning nail technology and esthetics from there!

Dual Programs

Our dual programs fast-track learning in two fields. You can choose from a few combinations based on your interests and career goals:

• Hair Design/ Nail Technology: 1391 hours
• Hair Design/ Esthetics: 1594 hours
• Esthetics/ Nail Technology: 725 hours

If you start with a dual program and decide to become a full specialist instead, you can always add the required course after enrolling! Just remember this will take a little more time than enrolling in the full program to begin with. For example, if you start with the dual Hair Design/ Nail program (1391 hours) and add the standalone Esthetics program (600 hours), it will take you a total of 1991 hours to become a full specialist instead of 1835.

Standalone Programs

Our standalone programs help you master only one area of cosmetology. Some programs (like Barbering or our Cadet Instructor programs) are only available as a standalone.

• Barbering: 786 hours
• Hair Design: 1150 hours
• Esthetics: 600 hours
• Cadet Instructor: 1,000 hours approximately

Note: Our Nail Technology program is not available as a standalone program. If you want to learn nail technology, you will need to enroll in either our full specialty program or one of our dual programs. If you first enrolled in the dual Hair Design/ Esthetics program, you can always add Nail Technology to become a full specialist.

What Are the Benefits of Learning Multiple Specialties?

Now that you know what paths you can take, the next question is whether you should enroll in our full program, a dual program, or a standalone program. While you can still have a thriving career with only one specialty, there are several benefits to learning multiple. Here are just a few!

1. Explore Your Passions
   Not sure what your passion is? Enrolling in a dual program or our full program allows you to explore. Or, if you already have one passion, enrolling in multiple specialties may lead you to another passion! You may start out interested in hair, but find that you love esthetics just as much. You never know what you may love until you try it!
2. Increased Earning Potential
   Having multiple specialties can increase your earning potential. It allows you to offer more skills and services to your clients, giving you more opportunities to upsell. This can help you increase your ticket price and your bottom line!
3. Fill Your Books
   If your clients come to you for multiple services, you will also likely see them more often. For example, your hair client used to see you every other month for color, but now sees you every three weeks for a nail fill! Being a one-stop-shop for your clients can help you fill your books.
4. More Marketable
   Have your eye on a certain dream salon or spa? Having more skills makes you more marketable during job hunting. This may give you a better opportunity to potentially snag your dream job!
5. More Career Options
   Knowing multiple skills can also increase your career options. For example, knowing hair and makeup (which you can learn in our dual Hair Design/ Esthetics program) can open the door for you to work in film, music videos, or photoshoot work! Many of these editorial fields look for someone proficient in both hair and makeup. Knowing manicuring as a full specialist can open even more doors!

Tips to Choose the Right Program for You

Still not sure what program is right for you? Here are a few questions to consider that may help you decide:

1. What careers interest me?
2. What skills would be beneficial to have in these careers?
3. What added skills could help set me apart?
4. What skills do I definitely want to learn?
5. What skills might I want to learn?
6. What’s the fastest program track to teach me all I want to know?

You may also find it helpful to shadow industry professionals in different careers! Spend a day talking with your go-to nail technician, hairstylist, or esthetician. They may help you learn different benefits to each field you were previously unaware of.

Is Flexible Scheduling Available?

Yes! At Phagans School of Hair Design, we want our education to work for you. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling options, including evening and weekend classes.

• Evening Schedule
  Monday – Friday from 5:30 pm to 10:30 pm

  ]]>

  Are you interested in pursuing a career in the beauty industry? Perhaps you’re considering becoming an esthetician, but you’re not quite sure what the job entails. Estheticians are skilled professionals who specialize in skincare and beauty treatments, and their job is much more than just applying makeup and giving facials. At Phagans School of Hair Design, we train our esthetician students to be experts in all aspects of skincare, from basic anatomy and physiology to advanced treatments and product knowledge. 

  In this blog, we’re going over the five things estheticians want you to know about their job! Whether you’re thinking about pursuing this exciting career path or just curious about what estheticians do, keep reading to learn more.

  1. It takes dedicated training

  Skincare techniques may seem simple on the surface, but it actually takes dedicated training and practice in order to become licensed in esthetics. In the state of Oregon, you are required to complete 500 hours of training at an approved institution in order to sit for the licensing exam.

  At Phagans School of Hair Design, we have a program that is 600 hours of training. We provide education above the 500 hours required because we believe in preparing our students to the best of our abilities! As part of our curriculum, our students can learn:

  • Skincare treatments
  • Makeup 
  • Body treatments
  • Temporary hair removal
  • Lash and brow lifts
  • And more!

  The dedication that estheticians have toward their craft is rooted in passion and excitement for their careers!

  2. It’s for people who love people

  Being an esthetician is not just about performing treatments and recommending skincare products; it’s also about building relationships with clients. A good esthetician knows how to listen to their client’s concerns and provide personalized care and attention. They are often the first person a client turns to when they have a skin problem or need a confidence boost, and they take that responsibility seriously. 

  Estheticians who love people and have excellent communication skills are well-suited for this career. They can build a loyal clientele and make a positive impact on their clients’ lives. Estheticians often don’t pursue this career because they are vain. They pursue it because they want to see the faces of others light up in excitement when they finish their service! They understand that beauty is more than skin deep.

  3. They offer more than just facials

  When most people think of an esthetician, they probably think of facials and makeup. However, estheticians do so much more than that. They can also perform hair removal, body wraps, chemical peels, and other specialized treatments. Some estheticians even work in medical settings, providing pre-and post-operative skin care to patients.

  4. It can be a rewarding career

  Being an esthetician can be a very rewarding career. Estheticians have the opportunity to help people feel better about themselves, whether that’s by improving their skin’s appearance, providing relaxation, or simply listening and providing emotional support. Estheticians also have the flexibility to work in a variety of settings, from spas to medical offices to their own private practices. And because the beauty industry is always evolving, estheticians have the chance to continually learn and grow in their careers.

  5. Product Knowledge is Vital

  Estheticians are not just skilled in performing treatments; they are also experts in skincare products. They know which products work best for different skin types and conditions. They can recommend products for clients to use at home to maintain their skin’s health and appearance. A good esthetician will stay up-to-date on the latest skincare trends and products and will be able to give clients personalized recommendations based on their individual needs.

  You can be one too!

  If you loved learning all these facts about a career as an esthetician, you might be interested in becoming one. The beauty community is always looking to bring others into the fold. Whether you’ve had a career for years and want to try something new or you’ve just graduated high school, there’s a place for you in the industry.

A radiant complexion not only looks beautiful, it serves as a direct reflection of your health. Unlike a pixie cut or a bright orange lip, fresh, glowing skin looks great on everyone. To get that glowing goddess look, keep these five tips in mind.

  Oil Is Your Friend

  For a long time, we thought that putting oil on our faces was a beauty no-no. While certain oils are bad for the skin, like certain oils are bad to eat, there are others that have massive benefits. Examples of good oils are argan oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, lavender oil, and coconut oil. And these oils don’t only ...

Unlike a pixie cut or a bright orange lip, fresh, glowing skin looks great on everyone. To get that glowing goddess look, keep these five tips in mind.

  

  Oil Is Your Friend

  For a long time, we thought that putting oil on our faces was a beauty no-no. While certain oils are bad for the skin, like certain oils are bad to eat, there are others that have massive benefits. Examples of good oils are argan oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, lavender oil, and coconut oil. And these oils don’t only make your skin glow. They’re full of vitamins and minerals and can treat a range of common problems, from general dry skin and eczema to acne prone skin and fine lines.

  

  Put a Mask on It

  Face masks are a classic staple when it comes to pampering yourself. There’s no reason why you should reserve masks for Sundays or a special trip to the spa. Sure, there are plenty of face masks on the market, but there are TONS of face masks you can make right in your own kitchen! For that “lit from within” look, try making masks from strawberries, oatmeal, cucumbers, avocados, bananas, yogurt, and oranges. If you’re not into DIY-ing, stop by our student salon and spa where one of our talented students can treat you to a relaxing facial under the supervision of licensed professionals.

  

  Stop and Smell the Roses

  Rose-infused products are all the rage in the skin care world because of the natural benefits of rose petals. Rose water has anti-inflammatory properties that leave your skin refreshed and hydrated. It also tones your skin and helps maintain its pH balance. When you feel tired in the middle of the day, spritz some rose water on your face for an instant refresh. Circling back to those trusty oils, rosehip oil can lighten scars and blemishes, tighten pores, reduce dark circles, and even out your skin tone. This makes for more glowing, youthful, and supple skin.

  

  Relax and Enjoy that Avocado Toast

  Avocados are trendy for a good reason. This tasty, green superfood is your skin’s best friend. Avocados are rich in nutrients like A, B, C, and E vitamins and minerals like potassium, calcium, and phosphorus. Studies have shown that eating avocados is linked to various skin benefits. These include increased moisture levels, wrinkle reduction, UV protection, acne prevention, psoriasis treatment and more.

  

  Try Some Supplements

  Why not add an extra boost of nutrition to your morning routine? Taking daily supplements is a great way to improve the health and quality of your skin. Fish oil has omega-3 fatty acids that help with collagen production and fill in fine lines, reduce rosacea and eczema, and regulate moisture balance for healthy, glowing skin. When ingested, Vitamin A reduces sebum production and maintains skin’s protective tissue. It’s also useful for acne, psoriasis, and eczema. We all know that Vitamin C fights off the common cold. Its antioxidants are also great for your skin. Vitamin C supplements protect your skin from free radicals, build collagen, support cell strength, and fight against dullness.
