New Esthetician Services Offered at Cerritos College Cosmetology Salon

NORWALK, Calif. - Oct. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- With the new services, clients will have more opportunities to rejuvenate and renew their mind, body, and spirit in our salon’s peaceful and friendly atmosphere.

In addition to the new Esthetician services, the Cerritos College Cosmetology Salon includes typical Cosmetology services such as: make-up application, hair removal, artificial lash services, haircuts, hairstyling, hair coloring, manicures, pedicures, repair treatments, and chemical services.

Before each Esthetician service, the client receives a complementary skin care analysis consultation. Our students analyze the client’s skin, discuss concerns, and develops a treatment plan to meet their needs.

The students will learn how to use the new products from company, Bio-Therapeutic. The tool, the “BT-Analyze”, will be utilized in the all customized treatments. The “BT-Analyze” is a moisture meter used test dehydration levels in the skin. It tests the face, neck, and/or décolletage.

The tool can determine is skin is hydrated, inadequately hydrated, or overly hydrated. This information is useful for estheticians because dehydrated skin, or lack of water, is a condition that can be seen with all skin types..

“Since dehydrated skin can affect every skin type, estheticians need to be able to recognize the signs of dehydration. This is different than dry skin that is lacking oil,” said Esthetician Instructor, Madeline Bettencourt. “The “BT-Analyze” will make skin analysis a more thorough and accurate process.”
