Описание: Congratulations! You are about to start on a journey that can take you in many directions and holds the potential to make you a confident, successful professional in cosmetology. As a cosmetologist, you will become a trusted professional, the person your clients rely on to provide them with ongoing service, enabling them to look and feel their best. You will become as personally involved in your clients' lives as their physicians or dentists are, and with study and practice, you can be as much in demand as a well-regarded medical provider.
Milady's Standard Textbook of Cosmetology was the creation of Nicholas F. Cimaglia, founder of Milady Publishing Company, which he established 80 years ago, in 1927. He began his career in the beauty business as a salesman for a beauty supply distributor, selling his book, the New York State Barbering Exam, along with hair tonics and razors, door to door to barber shops in New York City. In 1938, Nick Cimaglia published the first edition of Milady's Standard Textbook of Cosmetology, and it has since been the textbook of choice for cosmetology education, undergoing many revisions.
Throughout its lifetime, it has consistently been the most-used cosmetology textbook in the world. With the many changes in the field of cosmetology, new editions of the text are needed periodically, and Milady is committed to making it the best cosmetology educational tool available.

THE INDUSTRY STANDARD

This edition of Milady's Standard Cosmetology provides you with the information you will need to pass the licensure exams as well as the most contemporary techniques to ensure your success once you are on the job. Before beginning this revision, Milady surveyed hundreds of educators and professionals, held focus groups, and received in-depth comments from dozens of reviewers to learn what needed to be changed, added, or deleted. Next we consulted with educational experts to learn the best way to present the material, so that all types of learners could understand it and remember it. Then we went to several experts in various cosmetology-related fields to write or revise the chapters. Finally, we sent the finished manuscripts to yet more subject experts to ensure the accuracy and thoroughness of the material. What you hold in your hands is the result.
Milady's Standard Cosmetology contains new information on many subjects, including sanitation and infection control, and haircoloring. As a part of your cosmetology education, this book will serve as a valuable guide, and you'll refer to it again and again throughout your career.
