Text. I am a beautician

1. Read and translate the text.

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.

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

You have chosen to become a nail technician, one of the fast growing and most creative, rewarding, and high-paying professions in cosmetology today. As a nail technician you will use latest technology to apply artificial nails. You will use your artistic abilities to create original designs on nails. Your work will be relaxed and comfortable, with many successful and fashionable clients some of whom may pay as much as $125 an hour for a service. You will be part of the booming manicuring, pedicuring, and artificial nail industry, with combined sales of more than $3 billion a year. This figure represents more than a 25 percent increase of previous years in some areas, and continues to climb.

Because nail technology is a complex, changing profession you will want to continue learning even after you receive a license. You may start your career as a nail technician in a salon. As you develop your knowledge and skills, you may want to move into other career areas in nail technology. These careers include teaching nail technology in cosmetology schools or demonstrating manufacturer's nail products at shows, conventions, or stores. You can become a salon owner or even the personal nail technician for fashion models or actors on the stage, in movies, or on TV. You can write, edit, or be a consultant for nail technology books and magazines.

Nail technology has changed in the 5000 years since the first manicure was recorded. Manicures used to be a luxury enjoyed only by rulers and the wealthy, and were performed by servants. Today, nail technology is enjoyed by millions of fashion-conscious people from many social and economic groups. In most states today nail technology services are performed by licensed professionals who have completed up to 500 hours of classroom instruction. During instruction they learn to improve the health of their clients' nails and recognize healthy nails and skin, as well as possible nail and skin disorders. They become skilled in using the latest nail technology while following proper sanitation and safety procedures to protect both themselves and their clients. Today's professional nail technicians learn how to give pedicures to enhance the look of their clients' feet, improve health, and relieve stress. They also learn how to handle the business aspects of their profession.

The first manicures did not require formal instruction. The word "manicure" comes from the Latin "manus" (hand) and "cura" (care). The first evidence of nail care recorded in history was before 3000 BC in Egypt and China. Ancient Egyptian men and women of high social rank stained their nails with a red-orange dye called henna, which comes from a shrub. The color of a person's nails in ancient Egypt was a sign of importance. Kings and queens wore deep red, while people of lower rank were allowed to wear only pale colors. Around 3000 BC the Chinese developed a nail paint made from beeswax, egg whites and gelatin. In 600 BC, Chinese royalty wore gold and silver paint on their nails. In the 15th Century, leaders of the Chinese Ming Dynasty painted their nails black and red. Military commanders in Egypt, Babylon, and early Rome spent hours before a battle having their hair lacquered and curled and their nails painted the same shade as their lips.

As a 20th Century nail technician, you can give your clients many more choices for nail care than the privileged people of ancient civilizations had. You can offer your clients a basic manicure or pedicure and information about nail care. They can also choose from a variety of artificial nail services shaped, colored, and designed specifically to their needs. You will become a successful nail tech­nician by studying hard and learning the skills and professional manner to make all your clients feel like 20th Century kings and queens. Let's get started studying this exciting field.
