Alright, let’s gab about what fashion should be for them beauty folks, you know, the ones making people pretty. I ain’t no fancy expert, but I’ve seen enough to know a thing or two.
First off, looking the part matters, y’know? It’s like when you go to the store, you want the apples to look fresh and shiny, right? Same thing with these beauty people. If they look like they just rolled outta bed, how you gonna trust ’em with your face or your hair?
Now, I heard somewhere that folks make up their minds about you real quick, like in a few seconds. Seven somethings, they said, maybe seven seconds? And then they decide eleven somethings else, opinions I guess. So, yeah, first impressions are a big deal, especially if you’re trying to get folks to trust you with their looks.

- Cleanliness is key. Nobody wants a beauty person with dirty nails or greasy hair. That’s just common sense, ain’t it?
- Clothes gotta be neat and tidy. Don’t need to be all fancy-pants, but you can’t show up looking like you been cleaning out the chicken coop.
Speaking of clothes, it depends on where you’re working, I reckon. If you’re in one of them spa places, soft and gentle is the way to go. Like a nice, calming breeze. You don’t wanna scare nobody with bright, loud stuff. But if you’re doing makeup for a big event, maybe you can be a little more… flashy? Still gotta look professional, though. Not like you’re going to a disco.
I seen some of them hair folks, they like to wear black and white. Makes ‘em look serious, I guess. Like they know what they’re doing. And black, well, it always looks kinda… fancy, doesn’t it? Like you’re somebody important.
And makeup, oh boy, that’s a whole ‘nother story. If you’re a makeup person, you better know how to put it on yourself, that’s for sure. But again, it’s gotta match the place you work. Too much makeup in a spa? Nah, that ain’t right. But if you’re doing makeup for a show or something, then yeah, go for it. Make it pretty.
It’s all about trust, see? When you walk into a beauty place, you want to feel like you’re in good hands. You want to feel like the person knows what they’re doing. And part of that is how they look. If they look good, you figure they can make you look good too.
Think of it this way, if you got an important day coming, a big meeting or something, you ain’t gonna wear your old overalls, are ya? No sir, you gonna wear something nice, something that makes you feel confident. Beauty folks, they gotta do the same thing. Every day is an important day for them, ’cause they’re dealing with people’s appearances. And that’s a big responsibility, you ask me.
So, from the clothes they wear to how they do their hair and makeup, it all sends a message. It tells people what kind of business they’re running. It tells people if they’re professional or not. And let me tell you, looking professional can make all the difference between someone trusting you with their face and walking right out the door.
And one more thing, don’t forget the comfy shoes! You’re gonna be on your feet all day, you don’t wanna be hobbling around like an old lady with sore feet. Comfort is important too, you know. Can’t look good if you ain’t feeling good, that’s what I always say. So find some shoes that look nice but don’t kill your feet. That’s my advice, for what it’s worth.

So there you have it, my two cents on what fashion should be for them beauty folks. Keep it clean, keep it neat, keep it professional, and for goodness sake, keep it comfy! And remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression, so make it a good one.
