Beauty has been a concern of men and women since ages. The hectic lifestyles of today leave us little time for personal grooming than we had before. This has caused people - essentially women - to turn increasingly to professionals for treatment to give them that 'manicured' looks. Moreover, as a larger number of women begin to work outside their homes, the need to appear well groomed and attractive has assumed greater importance.

Cosmetology includes the care and treatment of skin, hair, face and body and covers diet and exercise as well.

§ Earlier, this career was considered appropriate only for those with limited financial resources, schooling and social status. Many were mid-life entrants. Today, however, the returns generated by the industry have begun to attract entrants from all strata of class and education. Girls just out of school consider this career as an easy and viable option.

§ This area was once almost exclusively a woman's preserve. Now, as consciousness of the appearance grows, more and more men are coming in as both providers and seekers of beauty care. Success in this field has no relationship to the age of the practitioner.

Areas of specialization include:

- Beautician: Works only on the face and neck.

- Manicurist: Takes care only of the hands.

- Pedicurist: Takes care of the feet.

- Electrologist (epilationist): Uses various means to remove unwanted hair.

- Masseur (Masseuse): Performs face and body massage.

- Aroma Therapist: Performs massage with aromatic oils.

concern – забота, интерес

to cause – послужить причиной

stratum (pl. strata) - слой
