Beauty Specialist/Advisor

Red Deer County Alberta 587-***-**** ****************@*****.***

I would like to give you a brief description of my experience relating to cosmetology! I have been working at Shoppers Drug Mart as a Beauty Specialist/Advisor over 2 years. My passion for Cosmetology began with my over 10 year career as a professional musician, (see work history section), which required me to create and execute many different makeup looks for stage performances. I have also done looks for clients who have always been very happy with the finished results. This passion for makeup has now broadened into a passion for all things beauty related, and I have learned more about this in the past two years of working as a Cosmetician than I could have imagined! This field of work is something that I am extremely passionate about - I believe investing in your own vision of beauty has the power to change how people feel about themselves, and can help them to become more confident and obtain self esteem. On a personal note, I have enjoyed seeing my clients faces light up as they realize that there are products out there that will fit their beauty needs and who they would like to present themselves. I am eager to learn, and I am excited at the prospect of this job opportunity! I would also like to mention that I made it into the Semi-Finals of the Beauty Pro Team, and I made it into the finals of the Benefit Brow Masters Competition - two opportunities that came through working at Shoppers Drug mart that I was very thankful to be able to be a part of!
