Beauty is thriving, in many ways

Hey there everyone, Captain Li Hellsing, your Cosplay Cosmetologist here!

Blogging as Natalie P. Moisa, your average "Rady" 

As I was thinking of what kind of an intro to write for my blog, I remembered a very great article shown to my by my Junior Teacher at Beauty School:

A Thriving Growth Area in a Weak Economy: Hair 

Surprised? 

I sure as hell was. 

In this really slump economy, who would've thought that the beauty industry is thriving?

Then again it sort of makes sense, it's not like robots or computers can apply your makeup, cut your hair, or do your nails.

Here is my favorite part of the article, though:

"One reason may be that people who were battered in the economic downturn turned to haircutting as a quick career change. Fabulocs, a hair salon in Capitol Heights, employs several refugees from the recession. One has a master’s degree in education. Another worked as a manager at a Circuit City store. Seven of the nine stylists there had been to college.

“It’s a sensitive subject,” said Nimat Bilal-Young, 34, the owner. “That moment of, ‘You’ve got a master’s degree and you’re a stylist?’ ” "

Yes! Believe it or not, people who are educated CAN be a stylist.

Let me just state this. I graduated high school in 2009, very much undecided of what I wanted to do with my life, I went to community college yes, only because it was the "proper" thing to do.

I kept switching majors from here and there, not knowing what I really wanted to do. It wasn't until I discovered my passion for makeup up, did I want to pursue the industry.

Yes, I was adamant about touching hair and doing nails, but in time, I got out of my comfort zone, achieved a new one, and enjoy it! :D Hair color especially ^ ^

I am still attending college though. I want to go back to school, back to essays, teachers, and seventy dollar books. But I need to focus, and finish one thing at a time. 

If anything, follow your goals! Achieve what you want, go for it! Do everything you want while you still are able to get up in the morning, and do it!

Beauty is definitely thriving. Not in a fiscal way, but a real way :)
