ESTY TALK
Wishl inking
What do you wish someone had told you in esthetics school?
Not to go solo straight out of school. Business owners
wear a lot of hats, all of which take away from time
spent learning about skin. Taking an apprenticeship-
type position allows for full immersion in the
science and glory of the integumentary system.

I wish there would have been a resource for skin analysis
case studies. For example, "this is what an impaired barrier
looks like on a 23-year-old Fitzpatrick 2 female, here is
an impaired barrier on a postmenopausal Fitzpatrick
3 female, and here it is on an 82-year-old Fitzpatrick 1
male." If that resource existed in school, there would have
been fewer "what am I seeing in the loupe?" moments.

It is OK to have a niche. There are some services
you must do in school that you don't like. It is not
necessary to force yourself, or let others force
you, to do those after you enter the workforce.
Clients know if you are uncomfortable or don't
want to perform a service, no matter how well you
try and hide it. You and the client both suffer.

Always stay five steps ahead. When building
clientele/business, don't just focus on the current
week you're in, take in to account that you have
the upcoming weeks to focus on. Always educate
yourself. The more education, the better!
