Does the tretinoin beauty trend live up to the antiaging hype? TikTok fans, influencers, and creators say it does. But of course, they do, for if they have over 10,000 followers, they get paid to promote products. Therefore, how true are the tretinoin beauty claims made by non-professionals using filters? This beauty professional/blogger has some thoughts on the topic.

I am slowly transitioning away from my beloved beauty industry into writing. You may have noticed the change in recent posts and the addition of poetry. I hope you will continue to support me in my efforts. Please enjoy the following poem on the next page. If it resonates, shoot me an email at DerdreAHaggerty@gmail.com. You are EVERYTHING! Have a blessed day.
Walking in the wind is life
Against the gusts, the gales slow you
At your heels, it propels you
The difference is your direction
The storms always end
Yet somehow you arrive at your destination.
How do you choose to get there?

March is upon us. Are you weighing your post-high school educational options? Will you take a gap year for a much-needed break or head to a trade school, college, or hair school? There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Nor is any response incorrect. Only your choice will work for you. However, the following provides a little insight into helping make the decision right for you.
What is beautiful about getting old? Everything! As a woman in her mid-fifties, I can affirmatively declare there is beauty in aging. Unfortunately, some of our younger counterparts might not agree. Where is the attractiveness of maturing? From grey hair and wrinkles to wisdom, beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder but can be found within every crease. Each line tells a picturesque story and our journeys are stunning. We own each furrow and no one has the right to make us feel any less than what we’ve earned. Instead of advice on how to slow the aging process, or what products take years off, today I reclaim my beauty at 56 and want to empower you to do the same with my thoughts on aging, experience with ageism, women I admire, and health esteem tips.
Nail damage due to trauma can be painful and unsightly. In addition, there is a risk of the fingernail or toenail completely falling off and never growing back. Due to an injury, my thumb on my right hand looked hideous. Fortunately, I could fix my thumbnail. However, this is not always the case. Learn how and why in today’s beauty how-to. Please note: the following blog post is not medical advice, nor should it be used in place of seeking professional help.
The Gainful Employment Rule has come under scrutiny within the beauty industry. Especially, if one is listening only to the owners of private cosmetology schools. The overall gist of the directive is to protect student debt from reaching unaffordable heights and increase the transparency of for-profit educational institutions. However, not everyone thinks the GER properly reflects the beauty industry due to irregular income reporting. Please read further to learn information regarding the rule, and how this will impact cosmetology and cosmetology students.
A reader wants to know what gel nail polish brands I recommend for dermatitis. Read further for suggestions to help with skin challenges in this Wednesday’s Q&A with Ask the Pro Stylist.
Is beauty school for you? Finding the right cosmetology school takes more than a quick online search. The bigger the corporation, the better its marketing team. This means one beauty school will always pop up whether you search for hair, nails, or skin. So then, how do you find the best fit for your needs? Ask the Pro Stylist has published her first book: The Future Professional’s Guide to Cosmetology: Is Beauty School for You? Read on to learn how this guide can help you determine if Cosmetology School is in your cards and where to purchase my first venture!
Need a few beauty tips for younger-looking hair? Are you ready to shave it all off? Wait! Hair ages like skin and as a result, make us appear older than we are. However, with a few beauty tips and the following advice, you can have younger-looking hair. If you are of a certain age and want luxurious locks, then read on for a youthful hair guide in today’s Q&A with Ask the Pro Stylist.
What are you worth? In your hunt for employment do you hold out for the best salary, or take the first offer? Do you stay in a toxic work environment because you receive a paycheck? What is more valuable to you; money, family memories, or mental health?
Going a bit off-topic today, I am sharing my career dilemma as I search for the best job offer, and why it is necessary to decline anything less than your value. Today’s objective is to inspire readers with a few tips I employ that keep my motivation at its peak. My goal is to provide insight into my journey from toxic instability to positive permanence to encourage those in similar circumstances. Thanks to the love and support of my family, I will never settle for less than my worth!
The Best Lash Extensions Come in a Tube

My employment advice is to simply work hard. Hell must have frozen over because I am agreeing with Kim Kardashian. Nope, not a hater, just never a Kardashian fan. However, I always admired her business acumen and intelligence. She is studying to be a lawyer for Goodness sake. Kim K.’s guidance for women in business resonates with me. Find out why in today’s work advice with Ask the Pro Stylist.
Considering beauty school? Is a cosmetology program right for you? As the Executive Director of a popular cosmetology school, an educator, and a licensed cosmetologist, I can answer that question. Read on to see if you should enter beauty school.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Yes, hair consultations are important. Therefore, consult your stylist for chemical questions regarding your hair. Because, I will never advocate for the at-home, kitchen-sink stylist. You aren’t trained. Sorry, the hard truth might hurt. So, find out why I am so harsh on this week’s question for Ask the Pro Stylist.
The beauty of aging: “I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman!” Helen Reddy’s lyrics resonate as I finish my Master’s Degree in English at ASU and reflect upon one of my last literature courses this semester. The final book focusing on WWII is a resounding recollection of the strength of women, which only deepens my resolve to evolve to be the best I can be. “I CAN DO ANYTHING!”
Are you confused about keratin treatments and hair color? It appears many are, and rightfully so. If you aren’t a professional and are receiving information from a stylist that isn’t full of details, you might be in a head spin. Additionally, there are many online fakes who profess to give the right answers. But, sadly, they just add to the confusion. So, today I hope to put to rest some misinformation with another Q&A from Ask the Pro Stylist.
Coloring hair at home is an absolute no for me. I do not encourage it. Regardless of the brand, there will inevitably be a costly error. Find out why in today’s Q&A with Ask the Pro Stylist.

It might seem early for employment tips right now. Especially as the country is in a major crisis and people are dying. However, I am trying to be positive and looking forward to getting back to work. As I am sure you are. But, if you do not have a job to go back to, I have advice to get you hired in the beauty industry.
Staying beautiful during the Coronavirus pandemic might be at the bottom of your to-do list. With teaching kids at home and loss of incomes, why would your beauty regimen be of concern? However, too many hair and nail salons are staying open under the advice of state and country-wide social distancing. And this is simply unsafe. Therefore, if you must color and cut your hair or do your nails, I have some tips to help you through this difficult time.
