Insights on Beauty Careers From an Exceptional Educator

February 11, 2025

The beauty industry continues to evolve, introducing new trends, techniques, products, and other ways to help individuals feel beautiful and confident. Bellus Academy, offering beauty programs in California and Kansas, aims to remain at the forefront of this ever-changing industry by providing advanced educational opportunities from award-winning instructors, such as Eydie Foltz. Here, Foltz provides insights into how Bellus Academy continues to be a well-known cosmetology school that inspires and empowers students to chase personal and professional goals.

The Importance of Quality Education Remains Firm

Beauty professionals and brands have pushed boundaries, creating great change within the industry. Beauty companies and cosmetologists are emphasizing products and services that focus on personalization. Consumers are increasingly opting for products that are environmentally friendly and free from harmful chemicals. They expect beauty professionals to be transparent about the ingredients used, testing methods, and the environmental impact of their products. 

Quality education is still the most powerful asset for aspiring beauty professionals wishing to break into the beauty industry. Teaching beauty skills has been enhanced and transformed with the introduction of new technologies, according to Foltz, a recipient of the 2023 Exceptional Educator Award. “When I started teaching, the cosmetology program was built around a textbook and lectures,” she says.

To keep up with the evolution of the cosmetology industry, Bellus Academy incorporates various elements into its curriculum beyond traditional classroom learning. “Today’s students view beauty more holistically,” Foltz says. “Whereas years ago, students would be focused on learning hair, makeup, skincare, or nails, they now look at the entire beauty pyramid and think about creating the whole package.”

Bellus Academy’s licensed instructors provide the full scope to students by forgoing traditional teaching styles that solely use lectures and chalkboards. Instead, our learning platform incorporates a variety of tools and resources that educate students in a way that’s engaging and more effective.

A Commitment to Our Students

At Bellus Academy, we’ve made it our mission to create a nurturing learning environment where students feel inspired to achieve their career dreams. This mission is accomplished through the commitment of our award-winning instructors.

“I love this industry,” Foltz says. “It brings a new challenge every day and as new trends emerge, there is always a new challenge to tackle. As the industry keeps changing, those who work in it have a chance to be the best they can be.”

All the licensed instructors at Bellus Academy share Foltz’s enthusiasm and passion for educating the next wave of beauty professionals, keeping our wellness institution the standard for cosmetology training. We have built a strong reputation for innovative education that creates career-ready professionals after graduation.

In addition to teaching in-depth curriculum, instructors and other team members are committed to helping students build portfolios and resumes, join competitions, and seek jobs during their time enrolled in the beauty programs at Bellus Academy. Students are also given equipment kits to enhance their experiences while in the classroom.

What Comes Next for Beauty Schools?

The concept of beauty and what’s possible changes frequently due to beauty brands and professionals’ willingness to keep inventing new methods and products. To ensure our students are prepared to hit the ground running after receiving their certificate and license, Bellus Academy continues to adapt to the current beauty landscape.

Our licensed instructors and others involved with creating the curriculum are tapped into the beauty industry and look for emerging trends. We use this information to curate an updated curriculum that provides students with the greatest opportunities to achieve success following their program.

In addition to focusing on crucial techniques and technical skills, the beauty curriculum offered at Bellus Academy includes teaching about the inner workings of the industry. We provide courses in Best in Business, Financial Literacy, and Strategies for Success, educating students on budgeting and marketing for a well-rounded education. This method of beauty education aims to prepare students to excel in future professional endeavors.
