Isabel Calleros supports the NCEA and its goal to seek legislation changes for the industry. If you are really concern about legislation in your state regarding the aesthetics field, then you need to join the NCEA for aestheticians.

Is there a current law regarding cosmetologists in Michigan being able to perform not only body waxing, but brazillian waxing?

At this time microdermabrasion is allowed in the state of Colorado.  I do not know of any current legislation prohibiting it.  If there is pending legislation it is up to the estheticians to join together and do something about it.

 

Keeping client records in California in the medical office is a mandate of the medical board but does not apply to spas.  The California Board of Barbering has no guideline for keeping client forms.  For client protection it is advisable to shred personal information rather than throwing in the trash. Keeping business records is mandated by the IRS and your accountant can advise you accordingly.

 

Arizona is one of the most advanced states when it comes to services an aesthetician can perform.  Requiring aestheticians to take a laser certification course including both lecture and hands-on raises the bar on safety for the clients and professionalism for the Certified Laser Technician.  This certification is not part of the 600 hour curriculum required for aesthetic licenseing and does involve additional fees (up to $10k depending upon the school). 

 

Post graduate education is essential for advanced procedures including dermaplaning, the more aggressive peels and combination treatment protocols.  PCA Skin offers great advanced training modalities as does Institut' DermEd and several others. 

Aestheticians fresh out of school need to get some experience before moving to more advanced treatments.  This is where continuing education plays a valuable role.  Being able to correctly perform advanced treatments takes experience, confidence, professionalism, excellent skin analysis & communication skills, and an understanding of cosmetic chemistry.  These are characteristics that take time to develop. 

 

Professional associations such as Arizona Aesthetics Association, The Georgia Alliance for Aesthetic Professionals and several others throughout the nation provide continuing education opportunities on a monthly basis for their members.  I would advise all aestheticians who are serious about their profession to look into joining or starting an association in their area.

I love Arizona State Board of Cosmetology.  I think we have one of the most progressive state boards in the country.  They understand change for the aesthetician.  They understand that it all begins in beauty school.  Therefore chemical exfoliation, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, lancing, cosmetic laser/IPL are all staples of our 600 hour education.  What i don't understand is why other states can not see that if you train the students to do the treatment while in school this will minimize the issues of doing it illegally once they are licensed.  Do you agree?

I was recently informed that Colorado does not allow microdermabrasion by estheticians. Is this true?

I know CA should start watching what is being taken away, we definately need to stay on this. Oregon has postponed their discussion regarding additional certification or 2nd tier licensing.

What is the current law in CALIFORNIA in regards to keeping client consultation forms?  How long and do they need to be in physical form on site or digital form or offsite?  Where would I find this information?

I found this interesting for New Hampshire. Possibly not requiring a license for Esthetics!?

I would love to hear about any new legislation being debated for out here in Colorado! Anyone out this way?

What do you think about California's law prohibiting Aestheticians from Dermaplaning? If a barber can shave a mans face with a straight razor, why can't an aesthetician perform dermaplaning on a female client?
