Answer
Hey! I hope I can be of help. So, this is my mum I'm referring to because I'm just a student like you.

Occupation: Beauty Therapist

1. Went to London College of Beauty (private) to study Beauty Therapy. Then went on to work in a beauty boutique/parlour but only had little jobs with very VERY little pay e.g. thread eyebrows. Pay was little and hours were LONG. Employees weren't treated very well either. So as I had built up my contacts in the salon I decided to start own free lance, mobile (go to clients houses) business as sole trader. The mobile bit was my USP. LONG LONG HOURS, hard work! Started off with about 5 clients, now ended up with about 250 after some sleepless nights (been doing job for about 15 years)

2. Interested in beauty. Was going to be a pharmacist but rethought it.

3. Same as me (her). Study in beauty college, get a job in a beauty salon and then if you want stay on in the salon or like me, start your own business

4. Taking care of budget of supplies (e.g. wax pots, wax spatulas, nail varnish). Beauty treatments - e.g. waxing, threading, massages, manacures, pedi, facial, lava shell massage

5. Different services as listed above. Don't sell any products. Customers/target market are usually rich women in need of treatments who are based in Central or north west London. Competitors: other mobile beauty therapists but not a lot of competitors as I have already established my client base and they are very loyal customers

6. Abilities - able to sacrifice any time of day for clients, less hours of sleep as sometimes can work late into night (about 1 oclock), able to drive, communication skills for talking to clients while giving them treatment, likability, have to present yourself well in the way you dress, able to do ALL the treatments correctly and more so that customers are more than satisfied

7. Beauty therapy course in private college, I also go to Olympia London Beauty shows to get more inside info into the newest products and services I can offer. Need to keep up with competitors and newer products if i want to retain my customers

8. Pride in my skill, the fact that clients consider it a neccesity and appreciate it, profit

9. Morale has to be high if i want to be successful. Cannot let myself be demotivated otherwise if i do, clients can see this and may be put off in using my services next time

10. Likability, great communicator, flexibility of times etc, happy

11. Yes as I get older I need more sleep and because sometimes I have to sacrifice my sleep this can take a toll on my health. Long hours sometimes, but able to get a lot of free time out of it too! Have to keep on a happy face. Always moving, travelling and mobile which is annoying when there is traffic

12. No dress code - just casual smart - black trousers, any top

13. Yearly raise only if sales annually better than last so profit increases (remembeer I am a sole trader so i keep all the profits to myself) - I do not employ anyone, it is just me

14. Me.

15. wake up at 7.30am, free time, gym at 9 -11am, client at 12-2pm, free time with family, 5pm+ clients, usually get back at about 11pm - Remember my work day varies as clients often want treatments at different times of the day!!!!

16. No apart from in a salon which is not a great experience

17. Yes, a lot!! Customer base expanded rapidly due to word of mouth etc - my clients often know one another

18. If you are fine with long hours and a lot of hard work this is the career for you!!!

19. Yeah, just message me on Y!A

How long should I wait after tanning to shower?

I went tanning earlier today around 5pm.(Indoor at LA tan) People say you shouldn't shower after tanning to let it "sink in". How long do I have to wait?

Answer
Call the tanning salon.

I'll let Lisa & Glenna tell you about tanning beds.
Google Lisa and see what she looks like 2010.
"Plastic Week: Lisa Gastineau On The Dangers Of Tanning Beds"

She had 2-3 melanoma moles removed, one by her nose. She had nose surgery just to get her nose straighter, so she can breath again. She got those moles from a tanning bed.
Google: Warning in Tanning beds: About 13,200,000 results (0.25 seconds) 

Tanning beds aged you by 10-15 years!
Google A Death by Suntan by age 26, Yahoo Shine 3-23-10. In April 2005, while working out at her college gym in Rhode Island, 22-year-old Glenna Kohl detected a hard, golf ball-size lump near her groin. . . . .In high school, Glenna did have an irregular mole removed from her leg. A pathology report identified it as benign, but the surgeon tested it again. The lab had made an error: The mole was an early stage melanoma.
Google: A New Jersey woman was arrested after police said she brought her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth, causing the girl to suffer burns. She is only 44 and looks like she is at least 90+ and now taking her 5 year old daughter to the tanning booth.

A new study conducted by the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Dermatology has found that tanning bed exposure can be dangerous when tanners self-diagnose skin problems and use the radiation to treat skin eruptions. The study specifically found that a tanning bed user that used the radiation to treat a mild skin rash caused by an ibuprofen allergy developed a much more severe reaction called toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). When left untreated, TEN can be fatal.
Melanoma is the leading cause of death from skin disease. An estimated 76,259 new cases of skin cancer will be reported particularly among women in their 20's & 30's, and that's 6,020 more than 2011, people died from the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute. Two million people are diagnosed with skin cancer in the US each year, according to the EPA's Sun-Wise Program. That's more than breast, colon, lung and prostate cancer cases combine! Now however, a recently published study suggests that those people with ginger hair and fair complexions face a much higher risk of developing dead skin cancer even if they are completely protected. Nov 2nd, 2012.

Oregon has the fourth highest rate of death from skin cancer in the United States, according to Dr. Brian Druker at the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. KATU.com 2-12-13

Tanning comes & go, unless you do them everyday 24/7 for the rest of your life. But in the end the only thing you'll benefit is either moles, freckles, skin tags or discolorations from sunscreens, lotions, etc. and the more you do, the more they get larger, darker & bumpier. My nephew had a membership in a tanning bed salon for a year. After it expired, he stopped, now he's as white as before he began.

Tanning, is a result for 'damaged skin' and no products can reverse you from skin cancer or damaged skin, may prevent you from pre-mature aging, but that's part of the billion dollar beauty industry.

I've been protecting myself from the sun since age 9, but no matter, I got Discoid Lupus. Google that one. It was like someone punched my chin and it gave a purplish mark. It took 12 years for that to fade, so now I'm using a wide brim hat or umbrella for protection. Gene Simmons & Shannon both have been seen hold an umbrella during an event. They were invented before beauty products, for a reason. Google also Bullous Pemphegoid, photos, another skin disorder.

How do I keep from aging/looking older since I work overnights now?

We all need money and I had the opportunity to be promoted and get a substantial pay raise... Catch is it is an overnights management position.
I go to school 3 days a week, I will have sunday nights off and monday nights off. I work 10pm-7am and school on mondays is from 9am-5pm, WED/FRI is 9am-1pm....
I am only 19, and I could not pass this promotion up. I will be able to transfer to days in 6 months.
In the mean time, I need some help with keeping my baby face. I look about 16/17 and would like to keep it like that.
I now have a bad fear of aging due to irregular sleep patterns or not getting enough sleep since my schedule is now flipped around.
Are there any kind of face moisturizers, creams, foods etc..... I can use that would help me keep my baby face? I'm open to anything and not limited to what is above.
Thank you for your help, It is greatly appreciated :)

Answer
Along with trying to catch up on sleep whenever possible (lack of it DOES cause you to look older and affects your immune system), diet is very important.

Try to get lots of Vitamins A, E, D and K. So that means proteins like fish, leafy green and orange veggies like dark lettuce, broccoli, kale and carrots.

Drink plenty of milk for A and D, or if you can't, then use a Vitamin supplement with extra D in it (about 1,000 I.U.).

You should also eat plenty of fruit or fruit juice, for Vitamin C, which protects your immune system and for anti-oxidants. Dark fruits (blackberry, cranberries and pomegranate) have the most of these.

Your skin (and the rest of you) needs essential fatty acids, (Omega 3's and 6's) like ones in nuts and seeds (flaxseed oil is a good supplement if you have a nut allergy).

Try green tea, as it has selenium, which is also good, and stick to whole grains.

Getting plenty of WATER is really important, esp. for those with sleep deprivation. It speeds the elimination of toxins and "plumps up" cells.

AVOID CAFFEINE or at least avoid it as much as you can. You'll be tempted to drink it when you're tired, but a 20 minute nap will rejuvenate you more.

Also, exercise will boost your immune system and help the circulation, which also helps your skin's health. Try to do this outside as much as possible.

hi! im cheryl from singapore, i've a youtube channel and i only have ONE video about whales on it which is completely stupid. but i wanna become a youtube beauty guru but i'm afraid people will laugh at me, i know people always say u shouldn't be afraid about what people say, but when i was in secondary 3 in high school, which i was about 15 and now im 17. i posted a really stupid video about "how to study" and everyone saw it and they totally made fun of me and mocked at me, so from there on i was afraid to do videos. but now im not in that school anymore and i've created a new youtube channel to subscribe to beauty gurus and watch videos,my passion is makeup and i don't own a TON of makeup like juicystar07 , beautybaby44 and all, but i own a decent amount of makeup more than enough for myself to use. and i really wanna be successful on youtube because i've a passion for beauty, skincare, and health and wellness and all that. first, can anyone provide me with the link to the youtube partnership? and i film with an iphone 4S, yes an iphone, because my dslr is a nikon d3000 and theres no video function, but im hoping to earn some money from youtube in the future and get myself a dslr with video function. idk, i need help and i only have 4 subscribers :(

http://youtube.com/flylikeacg is my channel! please check it out!

Answer
Hi there! I think it's really awesome that you want to start making videos. In a genre that is so populated with people, you need to stand out. I have a couple pointers that I hope help you in your process and aid in your success.

1. Personally, I think your name isn't super memorable. That's the first step. Please don't take that remark harshly, I really mean it with the best of intentions. But a clean, memorable name that will accurately describe your channel while also getting stuck in people's heads is needed.

2. Quality content is key. Surprisingly, an iPhone 4s is a decent starter cam now, with a few pointers.
-Buy Filmic Pro off of the App marketplace. It gives you more control of your camera settings such as lighting adjustments and such.
-Get an add on mic. There are many ranging from $10-$100 online. You do not need anything elaborate, so the $20-$30 range is a good place to start. Good audio is the key.

Record in a well lit area with bulbs that are good for illuminating skin. These are mostly called "daylight" bulbs, and they can be found online and at any department store usually.

Have a backdrop. Either a solid white or solid black background is optimal. It is simple, clean, sleek, and professional looking. You do not want distractions like background movement or an untidy room taking away from the star (You).

Edit your videos. Fast forward through the slow parts, or cut them out. People want to know the makeup you use, how you do it, and in what order. They do not want 10 seconds of advice and a minute of you applying it. Fast forward or cut the fluff out. It makes you to the point. Also, add some background music. You can find a lot of background music at places like incompetech.com. You have to dig really deep for something good, but you can find it. Also search YouTube for it, I guarantee you will find people willing to share their stuff.

Edit the videos on your computer, not on phone. You can use programs like Windows Movie/Media Maker or iMovie to start. But as you go on, you'll want to do more editing to look more professional. I recommend Sony Vegas Platinum 11. But in any way, edit on the computer. This allows you to take advantage of the 1080p quality the 4s offers, and more editing options. Make sure your videos are in at least 720p when you upload them.

TIP: It looks a lot better on makeup videos when the person does the makeup without talking, then narrates over top the video. It looks more professional, and is less distracting. Plus you do not have to stop applying your makeup every 5 seconds to say something. If you can figure this out, you'd be set. The best way I can think of is to record all the clips on your phone, without talking. Then edit you putting your makeup on in your editor. Then record the audio in your voice notes app, and adding them to the video later. You can and should talk at the beginning and end of your video, just not during the application. Use voice overs then.

3. Be on schedule. Set a time and say when you'll have new videos out. Once a week, twice a week if you can manage it. But if you say your video will be out saturday at 5pm, make sure it is. People will know to look at this time. Get in the habit of doing this early on.
-I recommend pre making videos in advance to release if you cannot make a video that week. It ensures consistency.

4. Be unique, diverse, innovate, and original. Look at what other people are doing, or more importantly, what they are not doing. If you feel you have something unique to offer, capitalize on that. Maybe mix in some clothing videos, shopping videos, anything that is different than doing just your usual stuff. People admire variety. Maybe when you're shopping and you think of a make up or skin care "quick tip", record it there in the store, or soon after. It can be short and sweet, and you can put them up randomly. This can apply to anything, just do whatever you can to stand out.

5. Use social media. Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, anything really. Post and share on there.

TIP: I recommend starting a Tumblr and using it heavily. Make it have the same name as your YouTube, and promote it on your videos. People will go to it if they have one. Update content on it. Including videos, pictures, other tutorials and things that is relevant to your genre. It gives you another source of content, a place to share your videos, and interact with your audience.

6. Be patient. Audiences take awhile to build, but hard work and dedication pays off!

Best of luck to you! I know I'm a guy, and don't know about make up, but I understand this stuff pretty well.

If you need anything, feel free to contact me on YouTube!

No sleep will it affect me later?

I work at a casino from 7pm til 3am full time sunday-thursday.. I recently started beauty school full time 8:30am til 5pm full time tuesday-saturday and im lOsing sleep tremediously.. I figure i can stick it out til march 2014 thats when i graduate.. But its soo hard :/ am i hurting my body and health by doing this.. I really need this job to support myself n if i dont go to school now i dont think i ever will.. Im 24 by the way

Answer
This is very unhealthy, you should stick to one temporary, good paying job with reasonable hours. If you continue doing these jobs that you do now and don't take the time to rest up and rebuild your energy, it will hurt you later on. It can make you permanantly tired and you will not be as successful. If this were my situation, I would definately find a different job until you find a career that will last you and one that has reasonable hours. Perhaps, if you were to change to a waiter at a resturant ( such as ken's or applebees) you will make enough, trust me that is what my friend does, she loves it and makes a good profit. Just a suggestion, good luck! :)
