Recurring hair color clients can rest assured when the come to Bella Beauty College, a leading beauty salon in North Austin, they will leave with the exact hair color they were dreaming of.  Hair color services provided by the beauty school students at Bella are not one size fit all, like so many at home color kits you might find at your local grocery store.  The services performed at this North Austin beauty school are overseen by professionals and are customized to each client’s specific desires and hair type.  For returning clients who absolutely loved their last hair color experience and want the exact color and style again, they can rest assured that that is exactly what they will get, even if it is from a different stylist.  

“Customer service is a large part of the beauty industry and it is important to understand customer specifics, like the exact hair color mixture that they liked,” said Carolyn Cox, North Austin Bella Beauty College Director.   To ensure all hair color clients go home happy, the school salon keeps Client Cards on hand with all previous services listed.  Like your favorite recipe for a cake, new stylists can follow this card and give clients the exact style they fell in love with on their last visit.  “Most color treatments are a mixture of colors that are perfectly blended to match the clients desired outcome and we want to make sure that we get it right every time. While our staff is very good at creating personal relationships with customers and understanding their needs, we are providing this service to eliminate the chances of human error.”  

For some clients, finding their perfect color can take a few tries.  Sometimes a color we like in theory just simply doesn’t work in practice.  And even for clients who loved their last hair color, we often like to modify shades according to seasonal skin tone changes or even simple changes in preference at in their next sitting.  Client Cards are the perfect solution for tracking all of these changes.  Whether clients request the previous stylist they had, or try the newest beauty school stylist available, with the use of Client Cards their style is sure to be a success.

North Austin, TX – June 2016

Bella Beauty College nail technicians are here to teach you, manicures are not purely esthetic.  Nourished nails and healthy skin are an important piece of your overall well-being and should be a part of your regular healthy lifestyle.  For many, the thought of getting a manicure conjures images of long, brightly colored nails, but the truth of the matter is that while Nail Art can be an artistry all its own, Manicures are more about nail health.  You may not think about it much, but for both men and women, fingernails are a subtle and important part of the impression you leave with others.  Think of that first time you go to shake someone’s hand or when someone hands you a pen at a meeting.  If the nails were healthy they probably went unnoticed, but if they were dry, cracked, rough and unhealthy, it left an impression.

Whether you prefer polished nails or opt for a more natural look, you will want to add nail care to part of your daily health routine.   At Bella Beauty College we offer Spa Manicures for only $8.  This relaxing service will not only beautify your hands, but it will help the overall health of your nails as well.  Our beauty school students start by cleansing the hands and nails before moving on to filing and shaping the actual nail.  For those who want to try a little nail maintenance at home, avoid metal nail files which can cause peeling, opt instead for a more flexible emery board.  When buying a nail file, take a look at the grit count.  At Bella Beauty College we recommend between a 220-300 grit, keeping in mind that the harder the nail the higher the grit required and the softer the client’s nail, the lower the grit.  After filing and shaping the nail, our beauty school nail technicians will gently push back the cuticle and nip away any dead skin.  At Bella Beauty College we never cut the cuticle.  It is very important to be gentle with this thin piece of skin and never cut it.  The cuticle acts as the barrier protecting the inside of your body from all the germs of the outside world.  Next our beauty school students will clean under the free edge of the nail before buffing the nails.  Buffing the nails has great health benefits and improves the circulation in the hands.  Likewise, the Spa Manicure hand massage improves blood flow and can help relax aching joints and tense muscles. 

For clients who want to keep healthy, nourished hands and nails at home between salon visits, the beauty school students at Bella Beauty College recommend cuticle oil.  Because the skin around your nails, and your nails themselves are so thin, they can dry out quickly.  Both unappealing and unhealthy, this dehydration leads to cracked, rough and peeling skin and nails.  The solution is a simple routine of moisturizing.  You can buy any array of cuticle oil from local beauty or grocery stores.  There are various combinations of brand name oils for all sorts of specific and different purposes, but for those overwhelmed by all the vast options available, you can also make your own at home!  Simply start with a base of Vegetable or Coconut Oil then mix in any of your favorite essential oils:  eucalyptus oil, lavender, avocado or sesame seed oil, or even aloe vera.  Massage this cuticle oil into your nail and at base of your nail even going up to the joints of your fingers for a soothing and relaxing at home hand massage.  Next time you swing by Bella Beauty College ask your nail technician which essential oils they are using in the cuticle oil today and pick your favorites to try at home.

North Austin, TX – April 2016

Bella Beauty College, a top beauty school in North Austin, is providing great summer deals on beauty services and spa treatments. This beauty salon 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 and licensed professionals, Bella Beauty College offers a wide variety of hair, skin and nail services.  With the summer season upon us, Bella Beauty College in North Austin has put together seasonal specials which combine manicure or pedicure services with paraffin wax treatments. 

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

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.

Paraffin wax treatments can be added to any regular manicure treatment at Bella Beauty College’s North Austin campus for only $5. Whether it is a salon, cosmetic, or spa treatment, Bella Beauty College has the beauty services and right staff to work within any budget.

North Austin, TX – October 2015

Great Halloween makeup styles are being offered at Bella Beauty College, a top beauty school and salon in North Austin. Students from Bella Beauty College in North Austin are honing their skills at applying Halloween makeup and they are currently offering a  Halloween makeup application for only $10! The offer is good for anytime through Dia de los Muertos, November 2.

When it comes to buying Halloween makeup our esthetician students remind you, the key is to remember that is no need to spend a lot of money on fancy brands in order to create a professional look. Many people seek high-end makeup kits from beauty shops or buy them online for $40 or more. However, the beauty school student stylists in North Austin remind people that the inexpensive $4 makeup kits are just as effective at producing the same desired result.

Bella Beauty College student stylists also recommend utilizing your existing or unused makeup.  Dig around and look for the goldmine that has been pushed back into the recesses of your makeup drawers before purchasing specific “Halloween” makeup.  The makeup experts at Bella Beauty College in North Austin suggest you give that crazy colored eye shadow, wild lipsticks and other castaways a try.  These typically unused colors can be the perfect choices for an effective and unique Halloween style. Even regularly used lipsticks, lip and eye liners, blushes and other products can be used to create fantastic appearances. Check out what is available and then mix and match them with purchased makeup if required.

When it’s time to apply the makeup, Bella Beauty College encourages people to let their imagination run wild. Halloween is the one time of the year that people can show a more adventurous side, so bold, wild colors and outrageous creations should be the objective. For eye-catching effects, use bright reds, deep purples and other vivid colors. If it’s a deathly scary look that’s desired, Bella Beauty College recommends applying makeup before any gore to create a spookier, yet professional look. False eyelashes and dark lip liners also make good Halloween makeup creations stand out.  The key is to practice.  Try out your look a day of two before the big night to perfect your style and get the ghoulishly glamorous look to die for.  Of course, for those who are short on time or just can not seem to achieve that dream style, bring a photo the North Austin beauty school salon and let our student stylists create your perfect look!

North Austin, TX – April 2015

Texas has more than six million Spanish speaking residents, with more than two million of those individuals speaking Spanish as their primary language. Texas is home to the second largest Spanish speaking population in the country. Now, Bella Beauty College, one of the leading cosmetology schools in North Austin, is now providing classes in Spanish to accommodate the increase in Spanish speaking students who are interested in a career in the beauty industry.  

Bella Beauty College has always offered bilingual services and classes to its clients and students, but saw a rise in interest in cosmetology from Spanish speaking women and men and met that need with instruction courses solely in Spanish to create a way to more deeply engage with that demographic of students.  According to the North Austin beauty school, which has 5 locations throughout Texas, there is a growing number of Spanish students who want to receive beauty and cosmetology training but are reluctant to do so because there weren’t any courses that were taught in their language. 

As a basic principle of all education, most students do better when training is in their primary language.  This is especially true for cosmetology education with the beauty industry being such a communication-intensive environment. Removing the language barrier creates more effective communication, which is imperative for learning the skills needed for a career in cosmetology.  “We wanted to take the language barrier out of our training,” said Linda Colwell, Bella Beauty College CEO. “So many of our Spanish students have amazing skills, but were unable to fully understand the teacher or really participate in the instruction. Conducting classes in Spanish allows everyone to focus on the subject matter more thoroughly.”

The addition of Spanish classes to the North Austin beauty school has encouraged more Spanish-speaking women and men to obtain training as hairstylists, nail technicians and estheticians.  In order to facilitate Spanish speaking classes, Bella Beauty College has appointed staff that are native Spanish speakers and are best equipped to provide students with the skills and tools they required.  “The instructors aren’t only fluent in Spanish, but also are expert stylists, nail technicians and estheticians,” Colwell said. “We made sure that we only hired the best teachers in order to uphold the standard of education that we have become known for.” Spanish students are now the fastest growing student body at the Bella Beauty College locations.  

The course outline and the curriculum throughout the duration of study will be the same as English speaking classes, which are held in conjunction with Spanish classes.  The addition of Spanish speaking classes are welcome in education in Central Texas where no other cosmetology schools provide a full curriculum of beauty classes in Spanish.  “We keep asserting the need for evolution in the beauty industry and by driving education this way, we are providing a needed service to a growing and important part of our society,” Colwell said.  The response from the Spanish speaking community is an increase in enrollment of the Spanish classes. As more and more students enroll in the North Austin beauty school, it is expected that the number of students in the Spanish classes may even surpass those conducted in English.
