Science and art in cosmetology

Answer 1

Im guessing you're asking how science and art apply to Cosmetology.

In the form of art you have to look at people as a canvas and recognize that the work you are doing on that person is art either in the form of makeup or a haircut.

You have to know art and colors when working with makeup in order to know color combinations and how to blend/shade.

As far as science it involves more of facial scrubs and chemical peels, you need to know the science behind this so you dont irritate or become to abbrasive to someones skin. When working with nails science helps you know what to use to dissolve the glue in acrylics, such as acetone whose chemical formula is C3H6O.

Answer 2

To be honest, in my opinion, cosmetology is definitely a form of art. Just like Photography or Painting, cosmetology is a subject that the artist believes to be beautiful. Artists all have a creative imagination and an eye for beauty, therefore when a hair dresser is styling one's hair, they most likely already have an image in their mind of what they would like the hair to look like. To be a professional hair stylist, the artist has to have a form of creativity, imagination and inspiration, along with a keen eye to visualize the hair style that would look best on the model. Therefore, cosmetology is just as much an art form as photography because it still requires passion, imagination, inspiration and creativity.
