Those wanting to break into the beauty business in the Washington, D.C. area should apply to the Look Boutique Beauty Adviser position as a first step.

The plan for 2012 is to step-up the "Working Style" column by featuring a new, winning look from the runways each week that, with budget-friendly options and alternatives to help you recreate the look, you can rock at the office without the strain on your paycheck.

Everyone has their reasons for going natural. It could be that regular trips to the salon quickly became a thing of the past as your funds got funny with the changing economy, curiosity of knowing what your natural locks really look, feel and act like, to feel a slave to your hair no more, a combination of these reasons or all. But I'd bet reason that tops your list is the money you save.  Feels

Many have joined the natural nation. And, while not too many of us are stuck in the salon for just about all of Saturday morning (and part of the afternoon too) or rushing out of work on Fridays to be on time for our evening appointments, there is this one other problem: many of the popular natural haircare products can cost a pretty penny.

Your resume is the key to getting the call to interview. And that means you’ve got to really shine on paper.
