South Austin, TX – August 2016

 

Bella Beauty College, which also operates as a South Austin beauty salon, has become one of the longest operating beauty colleges in the area. Their prestige and stylist 04.2014 - #20.3training in both English and Spanish has led to an increase in the number of admissions studying at the institution and of beauty school graduates entering the work force. In an effort to help students make the most of their training, Bell Beauty College is offering advice to guide students through the course of their study and out into the real world beauty industry.

 


Stylist training is very different from traditional learning. It is an entirely hands-on experience,” said Cynthia Maldonado, Bella Beauty College School Director. “A salon training environment is not like any other classroom 04.2014 - #20.4setting most students experience. You need to be self-motivated and engaged to get the most out of your training in this industry. This is definitely not a passive environment.”

 

The innovative teaching methods within the classroom setting at Bella Beauty College serve to emulate the professional experience of the beauty industry.  This South Austin beauty school makes sure that their students are prepared for the real world and demand professionalism from them in the classroom and on 04.2014 - #20.2the clinic floor while studying. This helps students ultimately transition from being a student stylist to becoming a professional stylist. Perfect attendance and punctuality are two traits that this South Austin beauty salon stresses as part of their training regimen. This creates discipline that will hopefully carry through to the real world. 

 

“The beauty industry has always been competitive and if students lack the motivation to keep at their training, they likely won’t succeed in the salon profession,” said Maldonado. “We need to see motivation in our students in order to make sure that they take the same with them in the professional world.”  Maldonado also suggests that students benefit greatly from helping others that don’t have the same skills as them. This fosters camaraderie and helps deepen their learning.

South Austin, TX – February 2016


Walk into any of your local beauty or drug stores and you may notice that mixed in with the brown and black eyeliners are sticks of white.  White eyeliner may be one of the most feared colors but once mastered, can be one of the most versatile and utilized tools in your makeup bag.  White eyeliner can emphasize bright eyeshadow, help highlight your eyes and make them magnificently outstanding. But the big question is how to properly use white eyeliner?

 

Student stylists at Bella Beauty College in South Austin apply makeup for only $10 and are more than happy to spread their wisdom and share some tips on using this sometimes tricky eyeliner.  Whether you were up with the baby or out at a party, for clients who have stayed up all night, adding a quick dash of white liner in your inner eye corners can create that pop giving off the illusion of beauty sleep and wakefulness.   Our beauty school students also recommend using white eyeliner for forming color layers.  No other eyeliner color can tint eyeshadow colors better than white.  If you are unable to get a certain shade of eyeshadow the color you long for, lining and dusting it with your white liner can make your color bright and bring the shade to your desired hue.  Furthermore, using white eyeliner as the base under your eye color actually helps the shadow to last the whole day through.

White eyeliner also has some great makeup uses not specifically for your eyes.  While you can always get your brows waxed for just $8 at Bella Beauty College in South Austin, if you are in between appointments, or just want a quick touch up at home, you can always grab that white eyeliner and use it to shape your eyebrows.  Simply apply the liner around your eyebrows to achieve the desired shape you long for. Once shaped, our beauty school student stylists also recommend highlighting the brown bone.  Write a little hatch tag under the arch and smudge the white just below your brow, to obtain a fresh and simmering appearance.  The same way white eyeliner can shape your brows, it can also hide unsightly blemishes.  After applying your foundation, if you can still see any angry red spots messing up your dazzling completion, use your white pencil to mark a tiny X on the offensive red mark, then blend into the skin and finish off with your normal powder.  Just like magic your white eyeliner does what your daily foundation could not.

South Austin, TX – October 2015

 

Halloween presents people of all ages with the exciting opportunity to dress up in fun and outrageous costumes and don daring fashions that they would never think of wearing at OCT 2014 - #2.4any other time. Traditionally a day for kids and candy, this seasonal celebration has evolved to allow adults to release their inner ghoul, super hero, and fantasy character for the rest of the world to see. The holiday keeps the South Austin beauty school students busy applying false eyelashes and makeup and styling hair for their clients’ memorable costume. Halloween at Bella Beauty College is now as much a time for adults to revel in the fun, let their hair down and enjoy along with the younger generation.

 

 

Creating amazing Halloween makeup has become a fun tradition for student stylists at this South Austin beauty school.  Clients are encouraged to bring in their favorite photo of the style they OCT 2014 - #2.2have in mind.  From there the talented students of Bella Beauty College create the perfect Halloween makeup for just $10 and/or false eyelash application for just $10

 

 

According to this top beauty school in South Austin, false eyelashes are one of the top fashion additions for customers during Halloween, but they are also gaining popularity again as an accessory for many special nights. With the advent of new better lashes and super strong adhesives to keep them in place, this accessory from the Sixties is making a big comeback. OCT 2014 - #2.3To help those newly initiated to this accessory, South Austin Bella Beauty College is offering some basic tips to clients so they can get the most out of their faux lashes.  False eyelashes can be purchased for around $2 from a number of places such as beauty and costume shops or drug stores. However, extra-long lashes are perfect for that elegant look while false eyelashes of practically any color can be used to accentuate costume designs. Other popular selections are feathered and jeweled lashes, which themselves can become the centerpiece of a costume.

 

 

Special eyelash adhesive is required to apply any false eyelashes. Although adhesives come in various types, Bella Beauty College, a long established beauty schools in South Austin, recommends purchasing black adhesives. Black adhesive tends to blend in with the lashes better and are preferred over clear or white adhesives, which can leave unsightly
OCT 2014 - #2.1
bulges that detract from otherwise stunning lashes. Eye shadow should also be applied before gluing on the eyelashes. In addition, the perfect false eyelash application can be accomplished by using black eyeliner on the eyelid exactly where the wearer wants the lashes to rest. This makes it easy to apply the glue without a mess.  A variety of styles are available to be applied professionally at Bella Beauty College of South Austin, so for those who want false eyelashes but are nervous to apply glue to their own eyes, contact Bella Beauty College today and take advantage of the amazing holiday prices.

South Austin, TX – August 2015

  

Bella Beauty College South Austin beauty school students live to have an effect on their clients’ lives.  Recently that happened in their beauty salon in South Austin where esthetician, Erica B., customized a treatment for a client’s lifelong struggle with acne.  

 

Many clients hear about high frequency, galvanic, microdermabrasion, and peel skin treatments, but they do not know much about them. Bella Beauty College utilizes these treatments because when used properly, they are a safe and effective method of treating skin problems. As a cosmetology school and beauty salon, Austin’s Bella Beauty College is able offer these services at a lower cost than many other salons.  Cosmetology and esthetician students use simple, but effective methods to solve various beauty concerns.

08.2014 - #2.1

According to esthetician student Erica, her client, Robert, walked into Austin’s South Bella Beauty College several months ago seeking a skin remedy. This young man had acne problems for years and was desperate to find a cure.  He had tried several grocery store remedies and even started using the prescription medication, Retin-A, all to no avail.  After talking with Robert, Erica recommended that he try a far more cost-effective and less abrasive treatment, that she would specially customized to his skin, in order to achieve successful results through a simple, but precise, series of spa quality facial and peels.  She recommended that Robert consult his doctor and request to stop taking Retin-A before they began.  A side-effect of Retin-A, the harsh prescription had thinned Robert’s skin and it was necessary that he recovered from the thinning before proceeding with a treatment.  

 

Once the doctor gave the green light, Erica started Robert on a weekly then biweekly regimen of 20% and 30% SkinBorn glycolic peels, accompanied by extractions and soothing facials. Erica also provided Robert with a customized treatment to use at home that involved cleansing and moisturizing with Cetaphil products along with a mild exfoliate that was to be applied twice a week between visits.  With those simple steps, after only 2 months, Robert’s skin was already beginning to show vast improvements, becoming both smother and more natural looking.

 

The moral to this story: one-size-fits-all treatments don’t always lead to results.  More times than not, speaking with your professional and creating a customized treatment is the key.   Obviously, each person’s skin is different and reacts differently to various treatments. But at Bella Beauty College’s South Austin salon, esthetician students consult clients and customize treatments that are specific to their skin type and needs at a much more economical price than expensive salons.

 

 

About Bella Beauty College:

Dissimilar to many beauty salons, South Austin’s Bella Beauty College doubles as a cosmetology school. Hair, skin and nail services are provided by beauty school students who have completed a minimum of 150 hours of course training. All students are overseen by a licensed instructor who provide guidance and support for students performing the same quality services as any other nail or hair salon.  With a total of five locations, Bella Beauty Colleges can be found in North Austin, South Austin, Corpus Christi, Waco and San Antonio.

South Austin, TX – June 2015

 

Bella Beauty College creates seasonal makeover specials each month to pamper clients.  This month, the package including a new summer hair style, hair coloring, with your choice of a manicure or a facial. These specials also make great gifts for that someone special in your life who needs a little indulgence in their life.  “Makeovers” can include a lot of different salon services, but the fastest and most popular service available for clients to achieve a new look, or just freshen up an existing look for summer, is through hair color.

06.2014 - #2.0 

For those who just want to brighten up their natural color, both the North Austin and South Austin hair salon offers semi-permanent color starting at just $10.  Semi-permanent is a process where coloring is not mixed with a chemical developer.  The color lasts about 4-6 weeks and fades with each wash until the natural hair color prevails.

 

“Demi-permanent” color starts at $20 and is a color mixed with a light developer.  Bella Beauty College suggests demi-permanent for clients who simply want to blend a new color in with their natural hair color.  This is also not a permanent color either, but lasts a few weeks longer than the semi-permanent and typically washes out over 6-8 weeks. 

 

Bella Beauty College’s most popular hair salon option when looking to dramatically affect color is permanent color.  One shade of permanent color starts at $20.  Permanent color is mixed with a higher concentration of chemical developer and as a result lasts longer than semi and demi color.

 

Adding Semi, Demi or Permanent Color does not lighten hair color, however.  For those wanting to change from dark to lighter colored hair, bleaching is a solution. Starting at $45, Bella Beauty College student stylists can highlight your hair, lifting out the current color, whether it’s natural or previously colored.  If bleaching alone cannot lift out the color to the desired shade, adding additional toner can provide the ideal color to reach the perfect tone. Toner starts at just $15.

 

For our busy clients who work hard and put everyone’s needs in front of their own, looking ones best can sometimes be difficult.  Which is why Bella’s cosmetology school wants to focus on special salon treatments that are all about pampering you. Spending some time in a great hair salon can do wonders for your appearance, so clients are invited to stop in to either of Bella Beauty College’s two conveniently located salons in South Austin or North Austin, for the ultimate makeover. Other beauty packages include hair cutting, hairstyling, skin care treatments, and nail services.  You can also give the gift of beauty with a Bella Beauty College Customizable Gift Card, personalized with services hand-picked by you to ensure the perfect gift.

South Austin, TX – April 2015

 

Starting a new career in the beauty industry can be a daunting endeavor, even for students who have attended Bella Beauty College, a leading South Austin Beauty school. Students go from providing cuts, color, styling and other beauty salon services on customers at a discounted price under the observance of licensed instructors, to working in a salon for paying customers who expect excellent services and skilled stylists. It’s the most daunting transition in a stylist’s career, and some students do not easily make the leap. To help students make this transition, Bella Beauty College gives their graduates advice for after they leave the school and make their way into a cosmetology profession.

 

“We have many graduating students who are anxious about starting their career in a salon,” said Linda Colwell, Bella Beauty College CEO. “Providing training is step one for our students, after the training we want aspiring stylists to know they are not alone, and they can make the transition from graduate to successful stylist professional if they adhere to some basic strategies.”


     Manicure 4       Post Graduation Advice       Esti 2

 

1 – Anticipate Competition

Students don’t anticipate just how competitive the beauty industry is. Problems in finding a job or advancing in their entry-level jobs are the biggest obstacles for students post-graduation as they struggle to carve a niche for themselves. They need to anticipate they will face competition and work to create a portfolio that expands their skill set and shows what they can do. The better they are poised to compete early on, the easier advancing in their career will be.

 

2 – Underscore Your Strengths

Students are also faced with barriers such as the inability to market themselves appropriately. A beauty school certification is only the first step in a stylist’s career. Students get broad training from the South Austin beauty school, but they should also pick a signature skill and work toward becoming an expert in that skill. Whether it’s stylist, manicurist, colorist,  or esthetician, there are always average technicians and then those who become “masters” in one or more skill sets.  Because they are interested in a particular skill and excel in learning everything they can about it, becoming an expert can mean a better position and more money.

 

3 – Persistence Creates Success

Colwell sees many students give up after an initial, brief struggle. There are more than 86,000 salons in the US, with an estimated 1.3 million employees in 2013, according to the Bureau of Labor. And the number is expected to increase considerably over the next few years. “We are entering a great period to start a beauty career,” Colwell said. “As the economy becomes stronger, so does our industry, opening up more positions for our graduates. However, students need to focus all of their energy on securing a job quickly.”

Starting a career in a chain salon like Great Clips or Super Cuts is a great way of working alongside other professionals, and it gives students the platform they need to grow their client list.  Chain salons provide a secure hourly wage which can be a comfort for many graduates just starting out and the opportunity for learn and move up in management.  Most chain salons also offer insurance benefits to their employees.  But for new stylists who may be overwhelmed at the idea of essentially managing their own careers, a chain salon includes the added benefit of built in marketing and clientele to fill the seats right away.

 

4 – Use your South Austin Beauty School Affiliations

Bella Beauty College is committed to helping their graduates make it in the industry. Former students are encouraged to keep in touch with Bella Beauty College and their instructors for guidance, references and continuing education. Bella Beauty College has educated thousands of successful cosmetologists in Texas over the last three decades and they are deeply rooted in the industry.

“We care about our graduates just as much as our current students,” Colwell said. “Our post graduate students should use their training and our college as a springboard to their new profession. They can come to us any time to use us as references, get feedback on their strengths and guidance on where they should take their careers.”

 

About Bella Beauty College:

Bella Beauty College, which is one of the leading beauty schools in the industry, is currently operating from five locations including Austin North, Austin South, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, and Waco. In addition to training, Bella Beauty College also provides a full range of salon services to these communities.  Current certification courses taught at Bella Beauty College are centered on hair, skin, and nails.

South Austin, TX – February 2015

 

Bella Beauty College, the leading beauty salon and college in the South Austin area, currently revealed that their highlights and lowlights color services were the most popular beauty service of 2013.  To Linda Colwell, CEO of the South Austin Beauty School, the results were expected. “We spend a great deal of time, understanding our clients and incorporating trends in the industry. We anticipated our clients would find our highlights and lowlights coloring a service that would make them stand out.”

 Austin South Beauty School

Colwell went on to say that of all five Bella Beauty College locations in Texas, South Austin just barely edged out the other locations for the market demand for highlight and lowlight services, however other services such as haircuts and manicures were off the charts for demand as well.  Colwell theorized that the reason behind the increase in demand could be attributed to the quality of care provided at the Austin South Beauty School.

 

Highlights and lowlights are two different hair color techniques which differ according to the tones that are set in the hair. Highlights are traditionally lighter tones whereas lowlights are darker. This has led to the myth that lowlights can only be put in hair that is naturally lighter in color.  “We want to dispel the myth that brunettes can’t get lowlights. In fact, there are some colored low lights that look much better on brunettes such as deep reds and rich purples,” says Colwell.

 

The surge in highlight and lowlights in the South Austin Beauty School has been attributed to the increase in lowlights by brunettes and the positive word-of-mouth that our student stylists have generated.  “We understand that our best advertising are our clients, which is why we work very hard to provide them with the best service,” Colwell said. This led to a huge upswing among our clients sharing our expertise with their friends and colleagues.”

 

Another factor in the surge in business for Bella could be attributed to the many failed DIY attempts.  “We have seen many people who completely botched these hair color attempts in an attempt to do it at home. We pick up quite a few clients to correct the damage they or a friend of theirs has done to their hair,” Colwell said.  Colored box kits could end up doing more harm than benefit. Even if the color turns out well, people are ultimately doing unintended damage to their hair, which only appears in time. Box kits consist of chemicals, which need to be used in a controlled environment in the presence of an expert. Box kits for highlights or lowlights costs approximately $12 -$14. Considering the damage and the chemicals that users expose their hair to, they end up paying much more for the box than the printed price.

 Beauty School Austin South

Considering this, customers could save time and money by going directly to the Austin South Beauty School instead of later after the damage has occurred. This would not only save time but also money for the client.  Colwell sees the trend in professional highlights/lowlights services continuing to be popular for her salons in 2014 and will concentrate more resources to meeting the demand.  “2014 has started out strong, and we hope that we can not only match our current success but exceed it. We’ve also found that when one technique becomes popular, demand for other services like manicures and facials grow too,” Colwell said. “At the end of the day, customer service is a large part of the salon experience and combined with high quality services, our customers dictate what we do.”

South Austin, TX – December 2014

 

South Austin’s top beauty school Bella Beauty College is providing great deals this holiday season on beautification, salon and spa treatments. The beauty school focuses on providing discounted services to the public while allowing the opportunity for the brightest cosmetology students to get hands on experience behind the chair. Supervised and run by experienced professionals, the salons and spas of Bella Beauty College offer a wide variety of treatments and procedures from hair color to manicures to facials and spa treatments.    

 

12.2013 - #2.1

With the holiday season upon us, Bella Beauty College in South Austin has put together seasonal specials including the ‘Frosty and Friends’ couple’s facial deal and the ‘Shining Star’ special, which combines hair color, manicure and paraffin wax treatments. With experience and expertise in a wide variety of beauty treatments, Bella Beauty College offers the best options in cosmetology for all styling needs.    

 

12.2013 - #2.2

Paraffin Wax treatments have become a popular option at Bella Beauty College’s South Austin location, as a low-cost, highly effective way of maintaining and restoring the health and appearance of a client’s skin. Used in combination with manicures and pedicures, student nail technicians recommend paraffin wax treatments serve to retain moisture within the skin, thus restoring hands and feet to a smooth, supple texture.

 

12.2013 - #2.3

Paraffin, unlike most other types of wax, melts at a very low temperature, meaning the application of it to the skin is pain-free and gentle, allowing for direct contact with hands and feet following skin’s cleansing. The warm soothing nature of the wax relaxes joints and muscles, while aiding in relief for ailments such as arthritis, as the heat increases circulation and blood flow. Non-adherent, paraffin wax not only applies with ease, but peels off of skin without pain or damage to the skin.

12.2013 - #2.4

Paraffin wax treatments can be added to any regular manicure treatment at Bella Beauty College’s South Austin campus for only $5, while the ‘Shining Star’ holiday package is priced at $30. Whether it is a salon, cosmetic, or spa treatment, Bella Beauty College has the treatments and right staff to work within any budget.

South Austin, TX – October 2014

 

10.2014 - #8.3Wigs can be as much a part of a Halloween costume as masks, but what makes a good wig and should you care? Hair experts at one of the top beauty schools in South Austin say that a wig can be a good purchase that has multiple uses over the course of several Halloweens – or to just give the wearer a completely different look for any special occasion. However, there are various things to consider when shopping for a wig, especially if it is going to be used multiple times and in multiple styles.

 

10.2014 - #8.4Wigs are made from both synthetic materials and natural hair. Typical Halloween costume wigs found in most costume shops are made from synthetic hair. Synthetic wigs are pre-styled in particular hairstyles such as curly, braided, straight, etc. and must basically remain in that form since trying to alter them can severely damage the synthetic materials, making the wig look worn and unkempt very quickly. The better the quality of synthetic wigs, the more they are likely to cost. Synthetic wigs normally range in price anywhere between $5 to $50 and up.

 

10.2014 - #8.2Natural hair wigs are usually only available in professional wig stores or you can find good quality wigs through a beauty school in South Austin like Bella Beauty College. Wigs that utilize natural hair are also naturally more expensive than synthetic wigs and start at around $100. But they also offer a few important benefits. Natural hair wigs can be repeatedly restyled, creating multiple looks from the same wig. A visit to one of the better beauty schools in South Austin can provide a new style to an existing wig, ensuring that your style matches the occasion or the desired costume.

        

10.2014 - #8.1To those looking solely for a one-time look of a specific character, Bella Beauty College recommends the cheaper synthetic wigs that are used once and then thrown away. However, if someone wants more diversity from their wig, or wants to look their best for a high-end costume contest, then a wig made of natural hair and styled by experts may be the right choice. Bella Beauty College is a long-time beauty school in South Austin that can design and style any natural hair wig.

Currently, Bella Beauty College is offering a Halloween promotion – a wig style and Halloween makeup application starting at $15.  Good through October 31st.
