The Skill Clients Remember

Did you know?

Most clients don’t leave their stylist because of a bad haircut or color.

They leave because they didn’t feel seen, heard, or understood.

At LeGrand Institute of Cosmetology, we teach our students that the art of consultation is just as important as the art of color. The technical side is vital — but the human connection is what builds trust, loyalty, and long-term clients.

The Truth About Hair Buildup

If your hair feels clean but still heavy, the answer usually is not more shampoo. What your hair likely needs is a reset.

That weighed down, coated feeling is often caused by buildup. Product residue, dry shampoo, hard water minerals, and natural oils can cling to the hair even when you wash regularly. Over time, this buildup leaves hair looking dull, falling flat, and never quite feeling fresh.

Your First Steps Toward Cosmetology

Thinking about cosmetology but not sure where to begin? Before committing to any program, it is important to ask the right questions so you can choose a path that truly fits your life and goals.

Start with these three questions:

12.5 Months to Your Cosmetology Career

Did you know that the cosmetology program at LeGrand Institute of Cosmetology can be completed in just 12.5 months? That means a clear timeline, structured training, and a real finish line to work toward.

If you have been thinking about a career change or waiting for the right moment to begin, this may be your sign. Instead of staying in the planning stage, you can take meaningful steps toward a profession that is creative, hands-on, and people-centered.

The First Step Toward an Esthetics Career

Did you know that becoming an esthetician in South Carolina requires 450 hours of training? Those hours are about far more than meeting a requirement. They represent time spent learning how to work with skin thoughtfully, safely, and with intention.

Through consistent practice, students build real confidence. Repetition turns technique into skill, and skill into trust. It is how future estheticians learn to assess skin, perform services correctly, and deliver care that supports long-term skin health.

At Home Glow Guide

Here’s your gentle reminder to do something that actually helps this season: give your beauty routine a rest. A reset. A little at-home care that keeps your glow steady through cold air and indoor heat.

1) Support your skin barrier
Switch to a richer, ceramide-based moisturizer and keep your routine simple. And one small change that makes a big difference: wash your face with lukewarm water, not hot, to avoid drying and irritation.

2) Do one hydrating mask each week
