Hello, stumbled across your channel been watching in silence. I have subscribed and I’m staying! I’m 52 in Georgia I just completed school in March passed state board July 13. Currently looking for work in the Esti world to receive training b/c I don’t feel confident enough with the small amount of school training that I received. Watching your channel and using your tips and advice are really preparing me for my goal of becoming a solo Esti at the top of the year 2024. I’m leaving a career history of 28 years in the mortgage industry , venturing out into this beauty world. So, to see any the least it is very scary starting over. Thank you for the content and sharing it freely. Keep your eye out for me “She Started Over”

Your videos have help me a lot thank you ❤
Love your videos girly !! I’m licensed, motivated, and starting my own mobile facial spa business it’s hard starting a business off the ground but I’m keeping faith and posting and still trying to network in person and on social media

Hey girl I’ve been watching you since before I started esthetician school which was about a year ago and I’m finally licensed Esthetician in Dallas texas :) but I’m from San Francisco so taking a class with you is a dream. I feel like in school we didn’t learn as much and your channel has been so much help 🫶🏼🫶🏼
Hello Kristen and all you beautiful esties/soon to be esties! My name is Jennifer and I'm scheduled to graduate by Sept 25th, 2023. I started following you a little after starting school.

Im looking forward to join your skin care course and the others you have created so far(:
This is soo helpful!! I’ll be going to esthetician this April! I’m soo excited and nervous because I’ve always worked in restaurants. This is a totally different ball game for me!
I was also coming from waiting tables part time, and being a SAHM when I started!! At 31 I finally went back for the career of my dreams and just became licensed a couple weeks ago. I was nervous about being older and not what folks wanted to hire, but to my surprise was recruited from school a couple weeks before graduation! I’m so happy about my career choice and ppl are flocking to get self care- it’s a trend!! I wish you the very best and you got this 🥳🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩🤩🙌🙌🙌🙌
My name is Diane. I teach medical and science concepts to esthetician students at a college in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. We just wanted to say that we enjoy your videos very much! You are such a personable young lady.
Hey Kristen, I’m Kate, 24 yo, I graduated a 976 hr program in Florida last year September 2023. I agree with these tips and I actually followed these 😅 thank you for always helping us beginners 🩷
Hi Kristen! I’ve been following you since last year and you were one of my motivators to sign up for esthetics school after being a nail technician for 8years (not my dream). I am currently in my 2nd semester and will graduate esthetics school this summer here in Georgia🥳 I am a little nervous about the state board but I know I can do it! Definitely nervous about how to properly assign clients for proper skincare regimen and services on the floor next semester and watching your videos has helped me so much. When graduating I will be signing up for your skincare classes and I’m excited 🥰
I’m opening my studio this month and I’ve been worried I’m doing it wrong, but this video made me feel so so secure in my decision and I know I am ready to start!
Honestly you are the best aesthetician on RUclips , absolutely amazing channel I literally find all answers to my questions in your channel , I can’t thank you enough 🙏🏼
I totally understand, its only natural we compare ourselves with anything. Just continue to be you because there is only one you, so youre already unique and ppl will love that ♥
Omg thank you for this i am a licensed esthetician out in Houston, TX and my goal is to be solo and not having to work under anyone! This was so helpful ☺️

Hey Kristen, I've been subscribed and watching for 3 years now! I started watching you before I decided to go to esty school but I'm currently licensed and have been for a year now. I appreciate you're videos they help so much!
I love your videos! Been watching them while in esthetician school, just graduated in March, currently work at EWC as a Wax Specialist! Totally agree with your advice especially #1, working out of spa’s has really help me build my confidence and product knowledge.
Hello Kristen , I want to introduce myself my name is Norma am from Arizona and am a new bee in this industry but always enjoy taking care of my skin am 35 years old and my journey begin this friday thanks for being a great resource for us beginners it really helps us starter. God bless.
I'm pretty sure I've been watching you for a year. I graduated esthetics school in 2019 I moved from VA back to Maine and covid and a new baby put a halt in me working. I started at a spa after my youngest turned a year old. I was awarded a 10k grant and have decided to do my thing from home thanks to you and other mentors from school 🖤🖤
Hi Kristen! I've been following you for the past year and have just completed school. My Boards are next Monday, (a week from TODAY!!!!) I am going STRAIGHT into my salon suite that I've been meticulously curating and creating. I'd love to connect more and am hoping to learn all that you've learned and have graciously decided to share with us. Love you, Kristen! Wish me luck! Katie of Vyleta Aesthetics in Colorado.
Yay! You're gonna pass and do great! If you ever want to learn my techniques, and do one on one training, definitely check out my online course. Love you! Thank you for the support back 💓
Your points were 🔥 I agree 💯 with what you covered here and am so glad to have you as a resource. I can’t believe (but I can believe it at the same time) you’re on your way to 70k 😮😮😮
I'm recently retired from owning my own Transportation Business and have decided retirement isn't for me!! I love people too much. Heading to school in December to start my final career (at 50 😂) as a Full Service Nail Tech and Esthetician!! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL ❤️💋🥰
Hey Kristen! I am on the waitlist for the esthetics program at my community college and while I’ve been waiting I’ve been trying to just knowledge up on everything. Your page has blessed me so much!!! I definitely know I want to move toward being a solo esthetician after I receive some experience in the industry. I do have a question about how things are different as an employer. How did you decide how to pay your employees and what does your contract consist of? I have a passion for leading others and I know I’ll definitely want to work up to doing what you do as far as taking new people under your wing, but I’m just curious about the legalities of it all
Hi Kristen ! My name is Kelly, I am currently an esthetician student in California too ❤️ I love anything skincare, products, and everything that goes into being an esthetician. I would like to ask you, what products do you recommend for example which steamer do you recommend that’s a good one, high frequency device? I hope I can hear back from you.
Ok, you know those awful esthetician tables that look like a dentist chair but are cheap and thin... I had a client, totally flip over backward on her head during my 1st year been a sole estimation. I'm just saying, that s*** really happens.
Thank you Kristen for creating ALL of your amazing videos! I'm a cosmetologist who is looking to "add on" to the services that I offer. I absolutely LOVE facials but may be reaching out to you privately. Keep up the good work
Hi Kristen! Ive been watching your videos since the beginning, & finally ready to start my business & go solo. I am also looking into getting an office space & going that route. Did you have to have a sink in your room or were you able to use the office space sink/bathroom? Thank you so much!
Hello I am 16 year sold and I was wondering is there anything I could be doing right now that'll help further my journey in becoming an esthetician ? Right now all I've done is learn some anatomy & physiology, taken notes from your videos and other videos, and learn about acne and the fitzpatrick scale.
I'm in IL, is specifically says no dermaplaning on the IDFPR, yet basically every esthetician I have looked at around my area offers dermaplaning. How do you tell a client that you can't perform the service without getting someone else in trouble or make it seem like you're talking down on them.
I will graduate Esthetics school on May 12th and I am looking forward to taking state boards to get officially licensed!🎉 The classes that you offer, do you know if they will count towards the yearly continuing Ed requirement?
I passed my exams and have been waiting to get a different work schedule and start my Esthi on the side or in a spa if possible. I can’t afford a pay cut right now and that’s what I’m worried about. I want to learn more before going into my own booth.
Hello i just came across your channel. Im debating about going to esthetician school. Im not sure how many men have gone to school for this. But im interested in esthetician School

Hi! I am curious if you could please give me list of textbooks I could possibly google to purchase. What was the textbook your esthetician school provided? I am interested to find and purchase for personal use and for work purposes.
Please help I just need someone to believe in me the facials of done every one loves my facials but still getting better with the nails I want to be amazing and send love
I graduate this summer but I have been making mistakes … I feel so bad cause I’m trying my best I’m naturally A nervous person trying to break out of it
