Study Notes
- The lip is a sensitive area, especially at the corners.
- The upper lip is easily infected by saliva and perspiration.
- If a patron has done much tweezing, most of the hairs will be in all stages of growth.
- Work should be done in a methodical manner to avoid returning to already treated areas.
- Leaving a hair untreated next to a heavily treated neighbor may prevent a clean, smooth look.
- In progressive epilation, wait for the full count before testing the hair for readiness.
- Great care should be taken when working between the brows.
- Epilating too soon on the brow region may result in rupturing a blood vessel, thus causing black and blue marks.
- Apply finger pressure to stop a broken capillary from bleeding.
- Muscle response or jumping is an involuntary reaction in certain areas.
- The shin bone is easily infected and heals slowly due to a deficient blood supply.
- Epidermic breakdown can occur on the back of the neck due to the moisture in the area.
- Because people seldom tweeze the back of the neck, the hairs in this area will be in all stages.
- When working on foreheads, remove hair first from as far as possible from the centerline.
- A completed hairline should have a natural, thinned-out or feathered look from a distance of 5-6 feet.
- A hairline that has a tweezed or shaved appearance may be considered wig-like.
- Professional integrity includes honesty, attitude toward the patron, and personal hygiene.
- Skilled electrologists may be unsuccessful in practice if they are unable to project themselves professionally.
- It is better to wear a uniform during working hours to project a professional image.
- An electrologist runs the risk of losing clients and self-respect if she misrepresents her abilities.
- The attitude of an electrologist should be one of concern.
- Discussing family or personal problems may later cause the patron embarrassment.
- The telephone conversation should gain enough of the caller's confidence to bring her in for a consultation.
- Patron history cards help set up a schedule for the patron and indicate areas treated, what the patron was doing about the hair problem and skin type.
- Permanent hair removal requires time, so it will take a series of appointments.
- If you show respect for your time and skill, the patron will do likewise.
- You will never have hair growing out of a follicle that is destroyed.
- An operator cannot change or treat what has made these hairs appear, this is the glandular system.
- An operator should never make promises that she cannot keep, such as how many treatments until work is done, how many hairs are epilated per session or is the work permanent.
