THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY SINCE MY INTRODUCTION IN 1957 HAS GONE

THROUGH SOME VERY RADICAL CHANGES. 

SCHOOLS WERE TEACHING FINGER WAVING, STAND UP CURLS, SYNRCO

JETS, THE FIRST ROLLERS, WERE NEW ON THE SCENE.  HAIR STYLES WERE

WET SET AND DRIED UNDER HOOD DRIERS.  THEN BRUSHED OR COMBED

OUT TO THE FINISHED STYLE. 

HAIR COLORING WAS VERY LIMITED IN COLOR SELECTION TO BASIC

SHADES, BLEACHES WERE VERY HARSH, YOU COULD FRY AN EGG ON THE

HEAT IT PRODUCED TO THE HEAD.  MANY CHEMICAL BURNS OCCURRED

FROM SUCH BLEACHING.  

PERMANENT WAVES WERE ALKALINE AND COULD FRY THE HAIR. BUT AN

IMPROVEMENT OVER THE HEAT AND ELECTRICAL PERMANENT WAVING

SYSTEMS. 

FACIALS WERE BASED UPON COLD CREAMS, MUD PACKS AND

FRESHENERS.  THERE WAS EARLY PRIMITIVE EQUIPMENT.  GRAVITY FLOW

WATER ACTIVATED BY GALVANIC ELECTRICAL CURRENT FOR DEEP

CLEANSING.   OTHER CURRENTS OF HIGH FREQUENCY AND SINUSOIDAL.

THEORY FOR EXAMPLE:  TAUGHT THAT SKIN COULD ONLY ABSORB SMALL

AMOUNTS OF LANOLIN. 

MANICURES WERE VERY BASIC WITH HAND MASSAGE AND LIMITED

LACQUER COLORS.

THEN AROUND THE MID SIXTIES A NEW DISCOVERY, OR AT LEAST WE

THOUGHT,  CAME ON TO FASHION.  TEASING AND IT TOOK OFF LIKE

WILD FIRE.  IT GOT TO WHERE YOU COULD NOT TEASE THE HAIR WIDE

OR HIGH ENOUGH.  SO FASHION INTRODUCED THE WIG LETS FOR

EXTENSIONS AND HEIGHT. WIGS  HELPED OUT WHEN CLIENTS HAIR

STYLE COLLAPSED BEFORE THEIR NEXT APPOINTMENT.  THIS WAS THE

INTRO OF “BIG HAIR” AND TEXAS WOMEN LOVED IT.  AND MANY STILL

DO!

THE AFROS CAME ON THE FASHION TABLE FOR THE PEOPLE OF COLOR

AND THEN THE  CAUCASIANS  STARTED GETTING AFRO PERMS

INCLUDING THE MEN.  WHILE THE PEOPLE OF COLOR WENT FROM

RELAXING TO JERI CURLS, WHICH REALLY WAS A CHEMICAL REWAVE.

VIDAL SASSOON  CAME INTO VOGUE WITH HIS GEOMETRIC HAIRCUTTING

ALONG WITH  BLOW DRYING.

THIS BEGAN TO CHANGE THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY DRAMATICALLY AND

EVEN PRODUCED A SLUMP IN THE ECONOMICS UNTIL IT LEVELED OUT. 

AS WOMEN SOON LEARNED TO MANAGE THEIR OWN HAIR BETWEEN LESS

FREQUENT SALON VISITS. FACIALS WERE NOT MUCH IN DEMAND BY THE AVERAGE WOMEN.  NOR,

WERE MANICURES. 

HOWEVER, IN THE MID SEVENTIES EUROPEAN SKIN CARE CROSSED THE

OCEAN.

IT STARTED A TREND WHICH HAS CONTINUED TO ESCALATE TO A VERY

HIGH DEMAND. FOLLOWED BY MANICURING AND NAIL

ENHANCEMENTS. EVEN THOUGH SKIN CARE CAME BEFORE.  IT NEVER

HAD THE IMPACT THAT NAILS DID FOR THE INDUSTRY SO EARLY ON!

MASSAGE CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET   IT BROKE AWAY FROM THE IMAGE

OF PROSTITUTION INTO A VALID HEALTH AND BEAUTY AID. 

AROMATHERAPY HELPED ESCALATE THE POPULAR DEMAND FOR

TREATMENTS BY BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.

SPAS WERE VERY FEW IN THE USA UNTIL RECENT YEARS, DALLAS HAD

ONE OF THE FIRST IN TEXAS, THE GREENHOUSE BY NEIMAN MARCUS. 

NOW WE SEE SPAS AROUND THE WORLD AND  DAY SPAS IN MANY

SALONS ALL OVER THE STATES.  IT HAS BECOME RECOGNIZED

AS A SERVICE MANY WOMEN AND MEN TREAT THEMSELVES TO FOR

PLEASURE AND APPEARANCE.

MAKE UP HAS BECOME AS NATURAL AS SHAMPOO AND DEODORANT. 

SKIN CARE PRODUCTS HAVE BECOME A SCIENTIFIC EVOLUTION OF

INGREDIENTS AND ANTI-AGING TREATMENTS.  NOW MANY OF THE

DERMATOLOGISTS, WHO ONCE "downgraded" CREAMS AND LOTIONS, SELL

THEM TO THEIR PATIENTS & CLIENTS. WHILE MANY HAVE AESTHETICIANS

OFFERING TREATMENTS AS WELL.

PARAMEDICAL AESTHETICS HAS BECOME A SPECIALIZE ADVANCEMENT

FOR TREATMENTS SANCTIONED BY DERMATOLOGISTS AND COSMETIC

SURGEONS.

NOW MANY PHYSICIANS PRACTICE IN CORRELATION ALONG SIDE

AESTHETICIANS IN PARAMEDICAL SPAS AND SALONS.  WHERE EACH

COMPLIMENTS THEIR SERVICES TREATMENTS AND SURGERIES.

PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES ARE GETTING ON THE WAVE OF THE

MARKET AND  MANY PHYSICIANS ARE FORMULATING COMPLETE SKIN

CARE TREATMENTS FOR A UNIQUE AND VERY PROFITABLE MARKET.

I FEEL THAT TRANS DERMAL TREATMENTS WILL BECOME A NEW

AVENUE THROUGH SCIENCE TO ENHANCE AND IMPROVE THE RESULTS

FOR THE PROFESSIONALS WHO ADVANCE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND

SKILLS.  AS LONG AS THERE IS SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, THERE WILL

ALWAYS BE ADVANCEMENTS IN ALL BEAUTY TREATMENTS.

ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO POINT - OUT NO MATTER HOW GREAT

YOU’RE KNOWLEDGE AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES,

SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES ALONE CANNOT REPLACE THE HUMAN

TOUCH.

PEOPLE SKILLS AND AWARENESS WILL ALWAYS REMAIN THE MOST

VALUABLE ASSET YOU HAVE WHEN DEALING WITH THE PUBLIC. 

CREATIVE TALENT ALONE DOES NOT MAKE SUCCESS. 

YOU MUST HAVE THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE IN A CARING AND

FRIENDLY MANNER, MAKING THE CLIENT THE IMPORTANT FOCUS IN

EVERY ANGLE.  THEY NEED TO EXIT YOUR SERVICES MENTALLY AND

PHYSICALLY ENHANCED BY YOUR TENDER LOVING CARE….. THAT IS

WHAT MAKES THE CASH REGISTER HAVE A  LASTING RING.

EACH OF YOU GRADUATES HAVE MADE A MANOR LIFE CHANGING

DIRECTION WHEN YOU ENROLLED IN THIS SCHOOL. 

NOW YOU HAVE AN OPEN WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY.

HOW YOU USE THAT WINDOW WILL DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE

COSMETOLOGY INDUSTRY AND HOW SOME OF MY EXPERIENCES

THROUGHOUT MY CAREER MIGHT HELP INFLUENCE YOU WITH

SOME OF THE DECISIONS IN YOUR FUTURE.

CONTINUE TO “ NONE OF US ARE HERE BY ACCIDENT………

NONE OF US ARE HERE BY ACCIDENT.  WE WERE CREATED FOR A

PURPOSE………A BEST SELLER, SOLD OVER 6 MILLION COPIES…. ”THE

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE” BY RICK  WARREN …. WHEN I READ IT, I FELT,    I

AM LIVING IT, EVEN TODAY……..  I PREFACE MY STORY WITH THIS FOR IT

BECAME ONE OF THE MAJOR TURNING POINTS IN MY LIFE.

I HAD NEVER HEARD OF A PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE WHEN I WAS YOUNG

AND I WAS  HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME FINDING JUST WHAT I WANTED

TO DO IN LIFE.   I HAD DECIDED THAT COLLEGE WAS NOT MY FORTE’, AS

I ONLY MADE IT THROUGH ONE  SEMESTER.  RETURNING BACK TO MY

FAMILY WHICH HAD RELOCATED TO MINERAL WELLS, WEST OF FORT

WORTH.  MY FATHER HAD A PLUMBING COMPANY AND AS A

YOUNG BOY I HAD WORKED MY SUMMERS AS A HELPER, MUCH TO MY

DISLIKE FOR SUCH NASTY, DIRTY WORK NOW ABOUT 22 YEARS OLD,  I

WAS DIGGING A DITCH TO LAY A SEWER LINE ONE HOT JULY DAY ABOUT

110 DEGREES.  WHEN A MAN WHO LIVED ACROSS THE STREET FROM

WHERE I WAS DIGGING, DROVE BY IN A BRAND NEW CHRYSLER

CONVERTIBLE, AROUND 9:00 AM, I HAD ALREADY BEEN OUT THERE FOR

AT  LEAST TWO HOURS.  THEN AROUND 4:30 HE CAME HOME AND I WAS

STILL DIGGING THAT DITCH, SOAKED TO THE BONES WITH SWEAT.   

NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS IMPRESSED NOT ONLY WITH THE CAR BUT ALSO

HIS WORK SCHEDULE.   I WONDERED WHAT JOB HE HAD.  WAS HE A

DOCTOR, LAWYER, MINISTER, BUT WHATEVER HE  WAS I WANTED A

JOB LIKE HE HAD.   POINT MADE….. SEE YOU NEVER KNOW WHO IS

WATCHING YOU AND WHO YOU MIGHT  INFLUENCE, WHETHER IT BE GOOD

OR BAD.

NOT LONG AFTER THAT I WAS AT A TAVERN AFTER WORK HAVING A

DRINK, WHEN IN WALKED THIS MAN.  SURPRISED AND EXCITED I ASKED

THE BARTENDER WHO WAS THIS GUY.  HE ASKED IF I WOULD LIKE TO MEET

HIM, AND OF COURSE I JUMPED AT THE CHANCE.  HIS NAME WAS BILL COX,

OWNER OF THE BEAUTY SALON IN THE BAKER  HOTEL IN MINERAL

WELLS. I PUT HIM THROUGH THE 3^RD DEGREE.  HE SUGGESTED I GO FOR AN

INTERVIEW AT THE ISBELL'S UNIVERSITY OF BEAUTY CULTURE IN FT

WORTH.   HE SAID IT WAS THE  BEST SCHOOL.  THAT IT WAS VERY

IMPORTANT TO GET THE BEST TRAINING TO BE  SUCCESSFUL.

YOU KNOW, THERE ARE MANY TIMES IN PEOPLES LIVES DOORS AND

WINDOWS OPEN WITH OPPORTUNITIES,  YET, WE FAIL TO MAKE THE

RIGHT CHOICES OR BE  EXPEDIENT.    I AM SURE YOU HAVE

HEARD TIMING IS EVERYTHING……

SHORTLY AFTER THAT MEETING.  OUR COMPANY HAD BEEN CALLED TO

THE BUS STATION WITH A BACKED UP SEWER.   I WAS ANKLE DEEP

TRYING TO GET THE  PROBLEM SOLVED.   IT WAS AS IF A LIGHT SWITCH

WAS CLICKED IN MY MIND. THAT BECAME ONE OF THE FIRST MAJOR

TURNING POINTS IN MY LIFE…..

I TOOK THE STEP OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE.   I TOLD MY FATHER

I HAD HAD IT WITH PLUMBING AND WANTED TO SEEK OUT THE

COSMETOLOGY  SCHOOL.  MY FATHER WAS NOT PLEASED, TO SAY THE

LEAST.  MEN IN THOSE DAYS  DID NOT WORK IN THE BEAUTY BUSINESS. 

BUT, BEING GREAT LOVING CHRISTIAN PARENTS  THEY ALLOWED ME TO

STEP OUT AND TAKE THE CHALLENGE.  I HAD BEEN TAUGHT MANY OF

THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF LIFE.  ESPECIALLY “BE THE  BEST THAT YOU

CAN BE AT WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO DO”!

WITH THIS PRINCIPLE IN TACT, I BEGAN MY TRAINING IN COSMETOLOGY. 

MY ATTENTIVE, PERSISTENT AND DETERMINED ATTITUDE AND EFFORTS

CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF THE  OWNER, MAYME  ISBELL.  HAVING

COMPLETED THE COURSE SHE ASKED IF I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN AN

INSTRUCTORS COURSE. 

THIS WAS ANOTHER TURNING POINT IN MY EARLY CAREER.

MAYME  ISBELL WAS A PIONEER AND INNOVATOR OF THE COSMETOLOGY

INDUSTRY.

SO SHE TOOK ME UNDER HER WING AND I RELOCATED TO LUBBOCK  TO

HER MAIN HEADQUARTERS.

I TRULY BELIEVE HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE STRICT, DEMANDING

YET CARING PROFESSIONAL MAYME POWELL, I WOULD NOT HAVE

SUCCEEDED IN COSMETOLOGY  AND MANY OTHER ENDEAVORS. 

IN THOSE DAYS I WAS A VERY INSECURE, SHY AND BASHFUL PERSON. 

HOWEVER, SHE MUST HAVE SEEN SOMETHING IN ME THAT OTHERS HAD

OVERLOOKED. 

IN ADDITION TO MY COSMETOLOGY INSTRUCTORS TRAINING.  SHE

REQUIRED ME TO ENROLL IN THE DALE CARNEGIE COURSE.  “THE

POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING AND HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND

INFLUENCE PEOPLE.”    THIS WAS ANOTHER MAJOR TURNING POINT IN

MY LIFE.  IT OPEN MY MIND AND SPIRIT THAT ALL THINGS ARE

POSSIBLE.  SUCH WONDERFUL LESSONS OF LIFE.     I HAVE CARRIED

THAT WITH ME ALL THESE YEARS.                               MAYME ISBELL

BECAME MY MENTOR…

OVER THE FIRST FEW YEARS I MANAGED SOME OF  HER SCHOOLS AND

TAUGHT ALL PHASES OF COSMETOLOGY.  I WENT ON TO BECOME AN

OWNER OF SALONS, BEAUTY SUPPLIES, SCHOOLS AND IN THE MID

SEVENTIES DURING ONE OF MY ANNUAL TRAVELS TO EUROPE FOR

ADVANCED TRAINING.   I DISCOVERED THAT AESTHETICS’

WAS QUITE BIG IN EUROPE.   BEING ONE WHO WANTED TO BE A

LEADER, I TOOK  ANOTHER TURNING POINT INTO AESTHETICS’ AND

ADDED THIS TRAINING IN MY SCHOOL.         FAST FORWARD.  

 IN 1975 I FOUNDED “AESTHETICIANS INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION”

FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND PUBLIC AWARENESS OF

AESTHETICS’.

WE STARTED PRINTING A NEWSLETTER FOR OUR MEMBERS.   IN 1979 WE

HELD THE FIRST AESTHETICS CONGRESS BRINGING OVER THE

EDUCATORS FROM EUROPE TO LECTURE AND TEACH SPECIAL

TECHNIQUES WITH MANY HANDS ON CLASSES. 

AROUND 1980 I FOUNDED THE “ACADEMY OF LEGENDS” TO SPOTLIGHT

THE PIONEERS AND ENERVATORS OF THE AESTHETICS INDUSTRY.   WE

ALSO TOOK WHAT HAD BEEN THE AIA NEWSLETTER AND TURNED IT

INTO A MAGAZINE.  THEN IN 1988 I TURNED THE MAGAZINE INTO A

PROFESSIONAL MAGAZINE “DERMASCOPE” THAT IS STILL BEING

PUBLISHED TODAY.  THE SAME YEAR I PRODUCED THE FIRST

AESTHETICS’ WORLD EXPO IN DALLAS, TX. EXPANDING INTO NEW YORK

CITY, BEVERLY HILLS, CA AND OTHER US CITIES PLUS CANADA AND

PUERTO RICO. 

IN 1995 AFTER 40 YEARS IN THE COSMETOLOGY, AESTHETICS,

TRADESHOWS AND PUBLISHING, THE MOST DRAMATIC TURNING POINT

IN MY ENTIRE PROFESSIONAL LIFE TOOK  PLACE.    WILLIAM STRUNK,

WHO HAD BEEN AN AESTHETICS STUDENT IN MY SCHOOL AND HAD

WORKED FOR ME WITH THE MAGAZINE AND TRADE SHOWS. 

DECIDED HE WANTED TO TAKE OVER THIS RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS

CAREER.  SO AS  EASILY AS I STARTED OUT ON THIS PROFESSIONAL

JOURNEY, AS SWIFTLY AS THE CLICK  OF A LIGHT SWITCH,  I STEPPED

 DOWN AND GAVE THE REIGNS TO WILLIAM.. 

ANOTHER  NEW WINDOW HAD OPENED IN MY WORLD, ONE OF MAJOR DIRECTION. 

 AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS OF MENTAL & PHYSICAL RECOVERY  I

 OPENED A REAL  ESTATE BUSINESS IN PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO. 

FORTUNATELY  OR UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS GROWING INTO ANOTHER
