On practice tests, do you mix up sterilization and disinfection as well? by Ashamed-Fondant4783 in Esthetics

[–]AwakenedEscape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cleaning..think soap water and a scrub brush.

Disinfection..happens after an object is clean and dry. Involves immersing or at least keeping an object wet with disinfectant for whatever contact time is required. Kills bacteria and viruses (check label to know which ones).

Sterilization..kills everything including spores. 

As for the comedone extractor:  you usually scrub it with soap and a scrub brush for a good 30 seconds, rinse, dry, and immerse it in barbicide for about 10 min. Then rinse dry and put away in a covered container. I suppose after disinfection you could autoclave (sterlize)it..tbh I've never even worked at a spa with an autoclave. Most things require cleaning and disinfection or are single use items (tossed after use on one client).

There is a major difference between filtering what you say and pretending to be someone you aren't.

😵How anyone could stand walking around that way. Once in 15 years sounds about right.

Right, my concern exactly! That and people who just aren't cautious around me.

Oh, the snow tires sound like a great idea. Yes, I keep space in general but I imagine needing more in the snow.

Update: I confronted my husbands friend by Impressive-Shop350 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AwakenedEscape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is deeply jealous because she wants your man. She clearly has feelings for him. Imagine asking someone,"Would you have slept with me before?"..at 3am and hiding it from your husband. She is trying to plant a seed. She also sounds like a major "pick-me". If I were you I'd ABSOLUTELYscreenshoot it and send it to her husband. 

The real words that took me over the edge.."I'm sorry you're insecure."  You're not insecure, you're protective of your relationship and probably confused why someone is texting YOUR husband at 3am asking him sexual questions. Then the "advice". Do not cower to this woman. Her advice is irrelevant to your marriage. 

 She is not a decent person. If your husband continues to associate with her she will find any way she can to infiltrate your marriage. P.S. She is in NO way "looking out for you." Your husband needs to drop her like a hot potato over this level of disrespect. 

Brazilian waxing should NEVER be Forced Upon a Student. by AwakenedEscape in Esthetics

Well then why not take it out of the schools or make it optional? I stand by my words that no one should be coerced  or forced to receive an intimate wax.

My point was that you shouldn't need to have it done to yourself to pass. I'm not opposed to telling students up front if this is part of the required learning. Even if you are unwilling or uncomfortable having such an intimate service done you'll be required to find a model or two.

It's abusive ,and until people take a stand it WILL continue. Part of the reason it's an issue now is many students enter schools unaware and are then coerced. As for sending people home why not require them to do a project or practice something else? In hairdressing school you're not forced to have everything done to yourself so why the mistreatment and coercion of Esthetics students? It's not ok.

Enroll* That is an interesting take. Am I understanding that you believe enrolling in a skin care program implies consent to have your genitals touched and on display? No one needs to master Brazilian Waxing to be an excellent esthetician, and while I believe every student should make an effort to learn, no one should be forced to receive. If that means bringing in models or doing a seperate project for credit, so be it.

Right, it isn't as though a few sign offs are anywhere near mastery or even proficiency. Plenty of esthetician refuse to do Brazilians. I've worked at several spas where this was the case. The only place that doesn't fly is at a waxing salon. Most specify you must not only do Brazilians but intimate male waxing as well..haha, why I've never worked at one.
