Nothing is more sought out than the advice a beauty professional can dish out to his or her clients. This is why it is so important for these professionals to know the best techniques for any beauty routine. Recently Empire Education Group surveyed some of their cosmetology students to get their opinions on different beauty routine topics.

The cosmetology students at Empire were asked to give their opinions on styling, eyebrow removal techniques, nail enhancements, and more. The results of this survey may or may not surprise you, but knowing how these students responded may just help you with future client consultations.

The results of this survey were as follows:

1. 66 percent of students stated that the biggest styling mistake a person can make is not using enough styling products.
2. 59 percent said that the most difficult hairstyle to complete at home is an updo.
3. 74 percent said that the eyebrow removal technique that lasts the longest is hot wax.
4. 56 percent said that people with sensitive skin should not use any type of exfoliator.
5. 61 percent declared that nail enhancements are always in style.
6. 54 percent said that makeup brushes are the absolute most necessary tools to have in your makeup bag.
