On the finish of April 2023, I got here again residence from a two-day academic occasion, the MECA, the place I used to be impressed by the numerous invited visitors in attendance in addition to the brand new estheticians who went to be taught from the older era keen to not solely share of their data however to talk on what helped them alongside the best way. From upcoming male estheticians, to seasoned ones who’ve been within the sport for greater than twenty years, Moto Kinjo has managed to place us all, girls included in a secure house to satisfy, mingle, and share of ourselves.
In the event you have no idea what I’m referring to, it’s the MECA, which stands for Males’s Esthetician Convention and Associates which Moto Kinjo, a person of many abilities (cosmetologist, esthetician, college teacher, salon proprietor and tax man) put collectively in 2022 as a spot for male estheticians to have a spot to congregate, share and be taught, kind of as a membership. He then invited his “associates” the ladies of the MECA to affix within the enjoyable and thus the primary ever MECA Occasion was held in 2022 in Phoenix, Arizona the place it grew to become an academic convention. I used to be at that occasion as properly, and let me inform you, the primary occasion was good, this was one was nice, and I’m positive that the following can be even higher!
Day one began off with visitor audio system who all got here in to speak about unity within the discipline of esthetics, the way it has grown from being a girls dominated discipline to being inclusive to males in addition to what number of of those visitors have recognized one another for many years and have helped one another over time. The esthetics trade has gone from cattiness to neighborhood. From considering we’re in it for ourselves to we’re right here for one another. I for one will assist my sister or my brother arise tall in the event that they fall.
Day two was all about getting your schooling on, whether or not you needed to learn to do cupping, to performing correct therapeutic massage strategies, to peels or the way to correctly begin what you are promoting A–Z. There have been courses on the introduction of Oncology Esthetics, the way to carry out nano-channeling, Prime 10 Hottest Modalities, the way to spot Delicate Pores and skin, and so forth.. Too many courses to checklist right here, if you want extra info and need to attend the 2024 MECA, click on this hyperlink.
In closing, I wish to say that Moto is an inspiration to all estheticians, not simply the males on the market as he’s a hardworking, devoted particular person who has a real ardour for what he does, and it reveals in all the things he places on the market into the universe. I sit up for subsequent 12 months’s occasion, see you there!
