Industry Information

What Are the Physical and Safety Requirements of the Industry?

As with most occupations, cosmetologists must exercise many safety precautions. Listed below are several that we feel are extremely important to observe.

• Wipe up spills immediately as a fall may result from a wet floor, also, Hair MUST be swept up at all times.
• When turning on the water, the shampoo hose must be held firmly to prevent spraying the client.
• Water temperatures must be checked before use.
• Hair cutting implements are sharp and must be used cautiously.
• General safety guidelines must be followed when using electrical appliances.
• It is imperative that you read all instructions for use.
• You must also read all instructions for use and disposal of chemicals.
• Test often for allergic reactions to chemicals as recommended by the product manufactures.
• Also, do not allow a client to hold a child during the service.

Physical Demands of our Profession

Cosmetology is a very demanding profession. It requires a lot of standing which can lead to a variety of leg and foot problems. A quality shoe can help to eliminate some of these problems. The repetitious work involving the arms and hands can result in a condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome, which is a wrist problem that may require surgery. It is important that cosmetologists use quality implements and hold them correctly. Upper and lower back strain is sometimes experienced by cosmetologists and is usually the result of improper chair height.
