Collaborative Blog Assignment: Licensing Esthetics

The purpose of this blog is to inform the public about the lack of licensing in the esthetics industry. Our goal is to create awareness and move towards fully licensing esthetics in Canada. There have been a vast number of cases gone very wrong, and this is largely due to the lack of regulations and proper education for service professionals. For example, to be certified for microblading, which is an invasive procedure that uses micro blades to deposit pigment into the skin under the eyebrows, one only has to undergo three-days of home study with two days of class time (Huffington Post). And no esthetics license is required to be able to take this course. Why you may ask? This is simply because licensing for esthetics in Canada just doesn’t exist. We believe a question that we need to ask ourselves is: why must hairstylists have a license but estheticians don’t? This simply does not make sense because most often esthetic services involve breaking the skin barrier. Another example of a lack of education was in Winnipeg, and documented by CBC News, “A Winnipeg woman who developed a life-threatening infection after a pedicure wants Manitoba to toughen up its regulation of spas and salons”. In addition, dermal rollers are popping up in beauty salons and are being used by estheticians or beauticians who aren’t trained to handle complications should they arise according to The Toronto Star. In conclusion, if all of these documented cases weren’t enough to prove that estheticians should be licensed here is a final case that will surely convince you. This case was published by CBC and it involves a woman by the name of Danielle Nadeau, who “spent $7,000 to have all of the hair on her legs and pubic area removed at Ideal Image, a medical spa in the South Granville neighborhood”. The pain during the procedure she described as “much more intense than what she had experienced previously. It was to the point where I was biting my fist". After she had gone home she realized that she had been burned and blistered all over her legs and pubic area. This was all due to an esthetician who was not trained properly in laser hair removal.
