Erika Chapman

My mission is to provide our editorial team with resources and assign projects based on their areas of expertise. My experience comes from years of working as an administrator in a beauty school. 

I’m well-versed in the requirements it takes to meet high educational standards, so I oversee our database of beauty schools to ensure they belong on our list. Another way I put that knowledge to use is through developing tools that you can use to determine which career and what school will suit you best.

However, creating a database of beauty schools isn’t our only goal at beautypros.org —

Here’s why; as a beauty professional, you need to keep current with beauty standards. Which is why I keep my finger on the pulse of the industry to determine trends and find out which new tools and products to review. This is a fascinating part of my job because there are so many advancements in the industry today.

I’m happy to be here sharing the beauty with you.

Patrica Vance – Cosmetology Specialist

I’ve been in the beauty industry since I graduated high school and have never looked back. You could say that beauty is my calling. My specialties are hair-styling, nail art, make-up, and most of all, skincare. Needless to say, I’ve amassed a great deal of research in beauty over the years. One thing I notice is trends, which makes writing for beautypros.com one of my favorite jobs.  I love to talk about the newest products and tools for hairstyling, as much as I enjoy exploring new techniques in nail design. However, skin care is the basis of beauty, so I also plan to bring you more articles on beauty products that help you achieve and maintain healthy skin. 

Lori Manning – Junior Editor

A considerable part of my job is fact-checking our articles and reviews to ensure all of the information is accurate. At the same time, I have an opportunity to research various aspects of the beauty industry to find out what kind of salary you can expect to make based on where you live. Of course, I also make sure to keep up with the licensing requirements in different states, because they all vary to a degree. Another area that I tend to cover is innovations in beauty, with articles such as the Beauty Pros Guide to Laser Hair Removal. I’m a how-to kind of person so you’ll find lots of guides and tips at Beauty Pros to help you navigate your way through make-up, hair, brows, and lashes. Not to mention guides to keep your skin looking flawless no matter what your age.
