Definitely think you should do a video about your inner estie and negative self talk. I’ve been feeling so stuck and uninspired with my solo estie journey
As a licensed Esthi since 2005, my career has definitely ebbed and flowed. I’ve recently reached my 5 year mark as an esthiology instructor and YOU and your channel have inspired me to continue pursuing my dream of opening my own business. 😘
Thank you Kristen. I was a cosmo for 22 years, granfathered into an advanced esthetic license, now going to school to get an esthetic license as i never worked on skin but i love it!!! Formulating and treatment plans interest me alot. Paying so much for school but truthfully not learning much. Im grateful to go part- time in the evening but paying so much for so little is a bummer.
Thank you for sharing. I know you’re not the only one who’s felt that way! Unfortunately there’s a lot of schools that only do the bare minimum. But I reassure you a lot of your knowledge will come afterwards from experience and continuing education classes
Such a great testament to the journey! It can be hard to stay in the moment with gratitude and grace. You have created a great forum to help us all uplift each other and the industry. Congrats to 5 years!
Thank you for this! It really did re-spark my inspiration to continue in this journey. I just graduated in May and I have yet to find a job in this industry. I recently made the decision to continue to work at as a phlebotomist, while I side hustle as an esthetician. My prayer is to go solo in the future but gaining a clientele, finding work at a spa etc really had me discouraged for a while. I even stopped watching Esthie videos for a while until now so I truly appreciate this video 🙏🏾❤
I been looking to become an esthetician for a number of reasons, I want to learn how to take care of my skin and my daughters skin #1 but I love training & showing people & helping people find ways that help them also, I’ve been looking to supplement my income because I can’t see me physically wanting to do what I do now for another 5-10 years, my goal is to work for myself be in control of what I want to earn annually & when or maybe how much I want to work, I put my health off so much because I have to work so hard and don’t have the vacation time or the PTO time at work…I’m tired of that, I’ll be sending my daughter off to college in the fall so becoming g an esthetician will help bring in some extra money without physically working has hard as I do now on my full time job, so I’m planning to attend a tour this week and select a school soon and get started on my journey.
Every time I watch your videos, I feel so inspired! So thank you for that! But theres times when I feel like I need a push! Idk why I get so shy to ask my clients for before and after photos. It's on my policies, and they have to sign if they agree, but soemtimes I feel like they dont even read the polices. I graduated a year ago and made the mistake of going solo. I feel so stuck and lost. I'm certified in dermaplaning, but nobody wants to book. I'm struggling. Sorry for ranting on here, but I feel like nobody understands what I'm going through.
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable on here ❤ I promise you are not alone! Exactly why I still make these videos and will keep you in mind for my upcoming videos. We’re going to have to dig deeper but it starts with acknowledging those feelings you’re having. Stay connected and I hope you’d consider a coaching session with me so we can talk more and I can help keep you accountable and give you specific guidance. Wishing you more love and joy and sending hugs 🫶🏽
I needed this. I’ve been working at a franchise day spa since I got licensed in early 2022 and I’m starting to feel like that hamster on a wheel lol. 😅
Thanks for watching and sharing your journey ❤ I promise you you’re not alone! Hopefully we can get you on a better track in 2025 toward more fulfillment in this industry. But for now stay positive and stay connected!
How do you land a job in a spa when your newly out of school? That has been the hardest part for me. I have been out of school for a year and still can't get hired anywhere. So I have tried going solo and it's been hard
I did make a video about landing a job or what to do if you can’t get hired! I’ll link it for you. But I do pray you will find something soon and that doors will open
I’ve been using acuity scheduling and Squarespace for a while now! Great ones to start with. But I am exploring others currently that I will share about soon :) stay tuned
