The purpose of this research is to explore knowledge and beliefs about the profession of cosmetology and cosmetology in Greece in 2019. As professors of Aesthetics and Cosmetology at the Department of Biomedical Sciences of the University of Western Attica, we observe that gradually the interest of the male population and the services of Aesthetics – Cosmetology is growing, but to a much lesser extent than the corresponding female population. This fact was also the most important trigger for the design of the study, a sample of participants outside the University, randomly selected in the Athens area. The responses we received in the 10 day period were 466. The fast response in a short space of time was probably due to the fact that the survey was done online (Google Forms). This platform was chosen for direct communication of research (cost reduction of research), ease of completion and processing of results (avoidance of errors, ready statistical measurements, etc.) and avoidance of paper consumption (environmental protection).
