I can’t wait to let Charlie and David know June 26th is National Beautician’s Day #NationalBeauticiansDay because both Charlie and David have beauticians ie barbers they love and always use. Before you ask what about me I haven’t had a hair cut since before 2017 when Covid shut the world down. Have you?
I need to get a haircut sooner than later because my hair has gotten so long it always has to be put in a ponytail and with my shoulder hurting the way it does I can’t always do that. Not only that its always tangling from all of the waves and with all the grey and the style it’s making me look older than I am and I’m ready for a change. Would you like to go with me and we can both get haircuts done the sooner the better.
National Beautician Day is on June 26th, when beauticians are celebrated for the services they provide. Numerous studies have shown that people feel a different level of confidence when they look their best, and beauticians help achieve this. A beautician beautifies your features through makeup, hairstyling, manicures/pedicures, and so forth.
Many beauticians have had extensive training to become experts in their trade. Trained beauticians are also known as cosmetologists or stylists. Frequent visits to your local beauty parlor can forge a strong connection between you and your beautician. So take the time out to show your beautician with tokens of appreciation.
National Beautician Day is a way to honor the beauty industry. We all know beauticians have existed since the old days. Did you know many Kingdoms had specially trained maids who would specialize in enhancing the beauty of the royal families they served. These beauticians would also create special makeup or soaps and shampoos using ingredients from Nature like bright red Fruits or Herbs.
Each Country had its own types of beautifying methods. For instance, in South Asia, people used Coconut Oil to get luscious and healthy locks. Beauticians also made use of a paste made of Turmeric, Lemon, Sugar, and Honey to create a radiant glow not just on the face, but the whole body. In the Middle East, beauticians burned a fragrant material called ‘oud’, and the smoke was then used to perfume the hair of their clients.
As globalization and commercialization increased over the decades, the beauty industry grew with the trends. Today, courses ranging from diplomas to bachelors to masters exist to help get people into the industry. Cosmetology is one such beautician branch. Cosmetology deals with teaching and licensing people in becoming experts in areas of nails, skincare, manicures/pedicures, hair, and electrology.
WW1 and WW2 were especially revolutionary for the cosmetology industry. Many women were forced to join the workforce as men were enlisted to serve in the Army. This saw women generally neglecting their beauty in the face of other priorities. Visits to the beauty parlor increased as more and more women enlisted the help of beauticians to beautify and pamper themselves. Beauticians, then and today, provided relief to many of their clients’ worries that were not solely related to beauty. Friendships form between beauticians and their clients because of the time they spend together.
LET’S CELEBRATE NATIONAL BEAUTICIAN DAY
- Beauticians not only know of the best products to be used for each of their client’s needs, but they are also aware of what will look the best on their clients. Verbally express your gratitude by messaging them and letting them know of your appreciation for them.
- Flowers are a symbol of beauty, so it only makes sense that you give your beautician a flower or two on June 26th. Plan this by finding out what your beautician’s favorite flowers are. You can further ‘beautify’ your gesture by adding a card.
- One of the best ways you can show your appreciation for your beautician is by recommending them and their services to your family and friends. Use the power of social media to review and tag the beauty parlor.
FACTS ABOUT BEAUTY

WHY PEOPLE LOVE NATIONAL BEAUTICIAN DAY

- The beauty industry has grown immensely over the last few decades, especially due to the advent of technology and globalization. Research has shown the positive impact beauty can have on individuals as it can make people feel confident and help them excel in their lives and professional fields.
- Beauty, at its core, can be found everywhere in nature. There’s beauty even in our ‘flaws’ like acne, pigmentation, dark circles, and frizz. Beauticians do help us hide these, but they can also help us accept these for what they are.
