About the Authors

Wstęp

Podręcznik English for Beauty Therapists przygotowany został z myślą o kosmetyczkach, kosmetologach, uczennicach szkół kosmetycznych, dermatologach oraz innych osobach związanych z branżą kosmetyczną i zdrowotną. Przedstawiono w nim program nauczania języka angielskiego odpowiedni dla każdego typu szkoły kosmetycznej lub kursu kosmetyki.

Podręcznik English for Beauty Therapists jest przeznaczony zarówno dla osób, które rozpoczynają naukę angielskiego, jak i dla tych, które chcą odświeżyć znajomość tego języka, a jednocześnie poszerzyć słownictwo związane z tematyką kosmetyczną.

Tworząc autorski program, postawiłyśmy sobie jako główny cel dostarczenie uczącym się takiego słownictwa i wyrażeń, które pozwolą im porozumieć się w różnych sytuacjach: w pracy, w gabinecie kosmetycznym, w kontaktach zawodowych, jak również w zwykłych sytuacjach życia codziennego.

Książka zawiera teksty, dialogi oraz ćwiczenia, które umożliwią uczącym się opanowanie słownictwa stosowanego w branży kosmetycznej. Występuje w nich także terminologia medyczna i dermatologiczna.

Teksty oraz dialogi zostały podzielone na bloki tematyczne: przedstawiamy gabinet, personel, zabiegi kosmetyczne, wskazania i przeciwwskazania do ich wykonywania, urządzenia stosowane do zabiegów kosmetycznych. W kolejnych rozdziałach poświęcamy uwagę skórze, jej typom, pojawiającym się dolegliwościom, odpowiedniej pielęgnacji itp.

Nie zabrakło też w książce tematów z zakresu makijażu, historii kosmetyki czy medycyny chińskiej.

Tekstom i dialogom towarzyszy wiele interesujących ćwiczeń o różnorodnej formie. Dzięki nim uczący się mają szansę sprawdzić zapamiętany materiał i szybciej go opanować. Ćwiczenia mają na celu rozwinięcie umiejętności komunikacji, a także czytania ze zrozumieniem oraz pisania. Utrwalają też specyficzne słownictwo stosowane w branży kosmetycznej i medycznej. Ćwiczenia można wykonywać ustnie, jednak zachęcamy wszystkich do rozwiązywania ćwiczeń w formie pisemnej.

Teksty oraz ćwiczenia są zróżnicowane pod względem stopnia trudności, co umożliwia znalezienie w podręczniku odpowiednich materiałów zarówno dla osób początkujących, jak i średnio zaawansowanych i zaawansowanych.

Integralną częścią podręcznika są dzwiękowe nagrania dialogów dostępne na portalu medycyna.pzwl.pl. Stanowią one podstawę do ćwiczenia rozumienia ze słuchu i doskonalenia umiejętności komunikowania się w języku angielskim.

Nauka języka obcego wymaga zaangażowania, samodyscypliny, a przede wszystkim systematyczności. Mamy nadzieję, że dzięki naszemu podręcznikowi okaże się nie tylko pożyteczna i satysfakcjonująca, ale również pasjonująca, czego wszystkim życzymy.

Beauty Therapy
As a Profession

Beauty therapists are highly skilled beauty and health professionals. They use grooming procedures such as make-up, waxing, cosmetic tattoo as well as therapeutic procedures such as electrolysis, massage therapy, lymphatic drainage or non-surgical face lifting. Their objective is to improve the client’s appearance. Beauty therapists must keep up to date with the latest novelties in skin care. First of all, however, they must have comprehensive knowledge of the human body, its anatomy and physiology, bacteriology, cosmetic chemistry and dermatology, in particular skin disorders and defects, as well as nutrition. They are taught and trained to evaluate the condition of the client’s organism from a holistic point of view. A holistic approach is crucial to the proper choice of treatment. It is a prerequisite to the double effect which the beauty therapist wants to achieve, namely improvement in appearance and well-being of the client.

Beauty therapists work not only in beauty salons and health clinics. Hospitals employ them to help in the treatment of scars, birthmarks as well as in post-plastic surgery treatment. You can find them in the makeup departments of film studios and theatres, on the staff of beauty and fashion journals for men and women. They can work as lecturers and instructors at a variety of cosmetic schools, courses, demonstrations. They can follow a large number of career options. They can work as beauty consultants, make-up artists, sales representatives, manicurists and pedicurists, electrologists. Their places of work can range from a beauty salon through a hotel, a department store, a hospital, a health farm or a leisure centre to a cosmetic company. They can also be self-employed, mobile therapists. What a wide choice! What wonderful prospects!

Beauty therapists can specialise as beauty consultants. A beauty consultant, also referred to as a cosmetic consultant, is a trained senior sales assistant who promotes one or more brands of cosmetic products in department stores and pharmacies. Beauty consultants provide advice on the choice, purchase and application of cosmetics. As a rule, this job requires additional training in selling techniques as well as an outgoing personality and communicative skills. A beauty therapist is concerned with facial and body treatments, waxing, manicure, pedicure, eyelash and brow tinting and make-up application. There are three groups of beauty therapists:

1) salon or spa beauty therapists who are concerned with regular skin care, including its revitalisation, rejuvenation and relaxation

2) medical beauty therapists who cooperate with medical staff and focus on the pre- and post-operative care of the patient. They deal with skin problems such as acne, post-acne scaring, chemical peelings

3) clinical beauty therapists who work independently within a clinical setting such as a skin care clinic or salon. They concentrate on clinical aspects of the skin and are responsible for spa services.

Beauty therapists should be impeccably groomed, pleasant and tactful at all times. They should have genuine interest in people, be sensitive to their responses and considerate of their needs. They must also have good manual skills and perfect eye-hand coordination.

1. What is the international term for beauty salon employees?
