What do people go to a beautician's for? Certainly, for beauty.

Making people beautiful a beautician presents joy to them: ”Service is a Maker of good mood”. A beautician must always be in good mood; otherwise all hopes of a client (customer) for good mood will not come true.

A beautician should be an emotional, communicative and sociable person. It is necessary to speak to clients to find out their habits, likes and dislikes, to know what they want. In other words, a beautician must be a good psychologist.

To be competitive, a beautician should create a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that will make clients enjoy their visits to his (her) salon so much they will not want to go to another.

A beautician should be willing to learn and keep an open mind, because fashion in the field of beauty changes very quickly.

Besides, a beautician must be an artist, because a suitable good make-up can underline beautiful features and conceal flaws of the face. S/he must have imagination to be able to change his/her clients' image to the best.

At the same time s/he is a doctor - he suggests medical aids for skin treating and curing.

The work of a beautician is a constant search for beauty.
