Staten Island (PRWEB) November 14, 2007
This Thanksgiving season, SpaBeautySchools. com (http://www. spabeautyschools. com/clickcount. php? id=6612005&goto=http%3A//www. spabeautyschools. com) spotlights beauty professionals who insist they've got a lot to be thankful for. The site offers in-depth articles that spotlight spa and beauty professionals, career resources, and an interactive search that helps potential students locate beauty and spa schools by zip code and program.
"My true love is working behind the chair in the salon," Luke O'Connor, owner of LuKaRo Salon in Beverly Hills, CA, and consultant/spokesperson for the ThermaSilk hair care line told a SpaBeautySchools. com reporter in the article "In the Hair Stylist's Chair." (http://www. spabeautyschools. com/clickcount. php? id=11235747&goto=http%3A%2F%2Fbeauty. spabeautyschools. com%2Fcontent%2Farticle%2Fin-the-hair-stylists-chair-continuing-his-familys-hair-styling-legacy%2F705%2F) "It's incredibly gratifying to see instant results in an hour."
After all, boosting clients' self-image is a powerful perk in the beauty industry. Jamie Kociela, a hair designer in Missouri, elaborates in "Cutting to the Chase at Hair Design Schools," (http://www. spabeautyschools. com/clickcount. php? id=11235748&goto=http%3A//beauty. spabeautyschools. com/content/article/cutting-to-the-chase-at-hair-design-schools/803/249/) "I just love having a tired soccer mom come in to me and walk out feeling like a million bucks."
Of course, the job is not an easy one, says Diane Da Costa, 15-year veteran of hair design and stylist to the stars. "I was just telling someone how much work this is and how the hustle is so crazy," she says. "And then the next words that came out of my mouth were, 'I love it.'" Da Costa shares more about her road to fame within the cosmetology industry in SpaBeautySchools. com's "From Styling Dolls to Styling Stars."
