Every year the American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS) holds a conference just for cosmetology and skin care educators called the Cosmetology Educators of America (CEA). For several days, there are educational classes that help to keep educators informed, motivated and inspired.
This year, the CEA committee is looking for ideas of what you, the educators, feel you need to be the best teacher you can be, whether you're a skin care educator, a cosmetology teacher, or have found yourself teaching both! What classes would benefit you the most? I'd love to hear your ideas to pass on to the committee!
I have noticed a pattern with the Estys I work with. They are educated about all things skin care but are really struggling with business issues. I would love to see more education for these gals on running their businesses. They go out of business not because they aren't a good Esthetician but because they don't know how to run a business.
