I realize she and other students would not be doing that to their clients, but in business--especially in the aesthetic business--ugly and ghoulish is not the way to bring in business from people over age 30!

To me, a competent manager and instructor would be honest and tell the student that this is not appropriate and certainly not attractive (unless the manager/instructor is too immature to see it themselves). This is not the way to educate and train a student to be employable.

I say that because this is not the only business where young people are being enabled to think that they look acceptable and employable, because political correctness ("tolerance") rules.

Oh, how I do agree with you. I know I am old fashioned about this, but that is just how I see it too.
