New Technology in the Field of Cosmetology

            One of the great things about the field of Cosmetology is its inability to be fully replaced by technology. Though so many new pieces are created, none of which possess the ability to read precisely what the customer would like to have done in regards to their hair, nails, or makeup.  Though it is irreplaceable, new technologies consistently help to strengthen the field. As time goes on, a great variety of new creations come to light that help beauticians do their job that much better. From the simple hair drying chair to new special dyes that stay in a customer’s hair longer, these new inventions continue to amaze all of us day by day. Used as an assistant to the cosmetologist, technology is a great accessory to this particular field.

            One of the great ways technology has helped to influence the field of cosmetology is by showing individuals what options they have. People are now able to access thousands of different hair and nail ideas at the tips of their fingers. By simply looking online with a description of one’s haircut, they are provided with hundreds of ideas to really upgrade their look and recreate their image. They are also able to get numerous ideas of designs for manicures and pedicures. So many sites provide great advice on how to maintain different treatments as well to assist in prolonging the service that the individual receives. In addition to this, they are able to use photoshopping technology to get an idea of what they will look like with a given look before having it actually done to their own hair or face. Simple technologies like these help improve the rate of customer satisfaction in the field of cosmetology.

            Another great advance in technology for this field is the ability for people to be able to have particular features either tattooed on or laser-removal of marks they no longer want on their body. A person now has the capability to go to specialized tattoo shops and have their eyebrows tattooed on or weaved in to their face. Though not the most appealing idea, many people enjoy this option in order to attain the look that they want to have. Other benefits of this technology offer permanent hair removal by laser. The laser is able to burn the hair off and essentially keep it from growing back. (Corbett, Holly, 2015) Operations such as these are permanent, simply requiring a touch up or two over long periods of time.

            Technological advances like these continue to present themselves as time goes on. The new inventions continue to present incredible options for the field of cosmetology. Not only are new creations helping to lengthen the time between visits and help treatments last longer, but also helping to decrease the time it takes to complete the treatments in the salons. Higher quality dryers continue to arise in the field, allowing cosmetologists to complete visits faster. They are then able to spend more time on the pampering sections of the visit as well as help the customer feel truly comfortable with their cosmetologist and their ability to do their job quickly and efficiently.
