A good skincare result at a cosmetologist depends first of all on a thorough consultation at the first meeting. A cosmetologist is not a make-up artist: besides beauty and youth, they work on strengthening health, on which the condition of the skin directly depends. So be prepared to be asked in detail at your first appointment about your health, habits, previous procedures and home care.
"It felt like I was at the doctor's"
"I came for youth and beauty, but it feels like I ended up at a doctor's appointment" — that is what people often think after the first meeting. But I am not a make-up artist, I am a cosmetologist. Besides beauty and youth, I work on strengthening health, and the condition of the skin depends directly on it. That is why, to work successfully with your skin, I will gather as much information from you as possible.
What questions a cosmetologist will ask
- About your health, problems and the specifics of your body.
- About your habits, pace of life and even the nature of your work.
- About previous visits to a cosmetologist and how your skin reacted to past procedures.
- About your current home skincare — photos help a lot here.
- About why you came to a cosmetologist and what you want to get from the meeting.
The main question is for yourself
When going to a cosmetologist, first of all answer this for yourself: "Do I want to have beautiful skin, or do I need to create the outward appearance of it?" If your answer is the first one, book a consultation without delay.
