I have been an Aesthetician for 37 years. State Board sent
consumer affairs out to investigate who was performing services
such as Waxing, applying make-up, facials and individual eye
lashes (now called Lash extension), all which were very popular
in the 70’s. The license did not exist before 1973, you had to
have a cosmetology license to do any of the above services
which I performed.
When a female investigator from consumer affairs made
an appointment to have her lower legs waxed, she came
in with one leg wrapped, she said she burned the one leg
could I wax just one for half price. Of course I
accommodated her. I called to check up on her (as I
always do with my clients),and to tell her she left her sun
glasses, her phone number did not exist. A few weeks
later the Salon I was renting space from received a letter
that they will be fined, or closed down since they had an
unlicensed person doing services in their Salon. A court
date was scheduled. Since I was closed down, as
everyone on Ventura Blvd was closed down as well, our
clients were without their beauty treatments.
My Client’s husband Was Assemblyman Thom Baines,
who wrote legislation for all the girls who were out of work
called, 'The Cosmetician act'; this
allowed me to come back to work after a year of going to
my clients home to do the services they required. At this
time I was grand fathered in after passing the state board
test.
I then went on to taking as many classes that were available to
further my knowledge and to keep up with new methods and
products for the Cosmetic industry.
That's my story. Ellie
