I’m a licensed Master Esthetician in Utah. (13 years experience.) I’ve worked in Day Spa’s, a dermatologists office, as an instructor and laser instructor. I currently work in a Med Spa. There are SOOOO many options as an esthetician!
Instructing was actually my favorite! But I still loved working in the day spa because of the calmer vibe. I do love working in the Med Spa because I am doing a lot of microneedling and laser treatments that are making BIG differences in my clients skin.
I vote that you stay on your high horse and keep climbing. You are so sweet and have a passion for this. If people tear you down because you are knowledgeable that's on them. Don't let anyone dim your sparkle!
I learned so much. I'm 36 and I'm thinking of becoming an esthetician. Thanks for explaining everything so well. You have great energy and wonderful, upbeat mindset. Subscribed.
I'm getting ready to start esthetics school in a matter of days, six days to be exact. I love the way you explain things, and plan to take my exfoliation more seriously moving forward. I am 56, and have been told I look younger, probably due to never leaving the house without sunscreen, being fair haired, and skin. I have very sensitive skin, and I'm leery of most over the counter exfoliants, therefore need to research which kind would be safest. Thanks for all of the information!
I really want to go back and get my esti license. I have my cosmo license but skin and make up is my passion. I’ll get there one day. I have 6 littles so being home is where my season is at right now. So proud of you.
Heyyyy! I’m in school now at Aveda becoming a Esthetician and I’m loving it so far. We have learned a lot but I know there is so much more to learn and experience and totally excited. I’m glad I found your channel, new subbie ❤️
Before i clicked on the video I was actually on the internet searching for a school close to me and Aveda was the school tight for me based on my answers. So now I’m just waiting to get called for info. I can’t wait to see what they have to say. Sounds very exciting based on what you said.
This was very fun to watch. I am late but I am excited for you and all the things you have to look forward to learning and sharing. Thank you for sharing your expensive knowledge with us all. You're amazing. Thanks. 🤗
I really want to learn to do facials and extractions! Is estechitian school for me? Not really interested in makeup application but I would definitely do laser hair removal and chemical peels! I finished Barber school, but wasn't for me.What kind of school should I be looking for? I'm a skin care junkie and am constantly researching.. Thanks in advance!
If your channel focused on skincare and explained products on the market - what's worth your time vs what's just hype I'd subscribe. Think of channels like Dr Dray and Mixed Makeup. I think youd gain a lot more subscribers with that type of content. There is so much out there we need to know about ingredients to make informed purchases and understand what to go for.
I graduated beauty school last year! I've forgotten everything I've learned because I waited so long to get a job. Any tips on remembering? Is it alright to just be honest and go out into the field and learn?
Your video was very informative, thank you!! I’m looking to go to Esthetician school however I don’t know if it’s the right fit for me. I’m not the type doing my makeup every day or not even that often at all. I went to school for nursing but found that it wasn’t the right for for me. I like the aspect of esti school because it still has a medical background and skin is one of the most important organs of the human body. I don’t want to spend all the money and not fall in love with it. Is there any ways you suggest on getting your foot in the door with it, without going to school for thousand of dollars first? Just a girl trying to find out if it’s the right path for herself! Love your videos!
Are you able to pick up at least a part time front desk job at a local spa ? Definitely will help you get the vibe of the business and experience with the Esti environment.
I just wanted to chime in (though a little late!). I have a nursing BSN degree and went into being an Aesthetic Nurse! I do botox, fillers, threads etc. It's such an amazing niche within the nursing field and I love it!
Hi Michelle ❤ I am soooo excited for you and can feel your excitement right thru the screen girl !!!!! Getting thru school with that kind of dedication, takes work. To do it as a mother....WOW....that's even harder to do. Not only did you accomplish this for yourself, but you've taught your children some valuable life lessons that they are picking up by watching your dedication, time management, follow through and they payoff at the end of each journey. I'm looking forward to more videos covering some specific topics. Your excitement is contagious...and I'm excited to learn more !!!! Have a happy and blessed week sweet girl ~Hugsssss ❤❤❤❤
I appreciate these words of encouragement! It wasn’t easy and the journey ahead of starting out a new career isn’t going to be easy either but like you said I hope my kids are watching and picking up some work ethic skills :)
Oh I know your children are picking up on what you're doing...even if they don't realize it. I was still picking up some valuable life skills in my 40's from my dad in his 70's as he was having to cope with some of the worse curve balls life can throw at you. He had cancer again and was going blind. Seeing how he coped with it and figured out what the next steps were he needed to take, blew me away. * It's wonderful to see you looking so happy ❤
Congratulations on getting your license on going back in the New Year going back for the Costo already am license as a manicurist 28 1/2 years and I just lost my passion for it with the nails but I definitely want to get back into it just for the thrill of it I would like to know have you ever thought about going back to become an instructor I normally ask people once they put their UA-cam video if they've thought about going back and in doing a survey I find a vast majority is not interested in getting their instructors license which would be a better attribute on the basis of its going to allow you to accomplish so much because now you can teach it you can be in a community college you can go in a private college you can offer private lessons it's just a world of wonderful doors and it doesn't take nearly as long you can be done with school in a matter of 30 to a Max of 60 days tops I think you would be great at it I love your energy is rocking it's fun and it's Carefree never lose the beautiful quality of that so many times your work around so many people that are so negative and spiteful and miserable that they always want to drain your energy and many times in the Spas you'll see that but when you have your instructors license you know you can bypass a lot of that thank you for doing this video please let us know the pros and cons now that you've became esthetician and in the same video I like to know what are some of your favorite products to use on sensitive skin dry skin and oily skin and mature skin finally I do want to know if you're going to further it as a final pointer if you're not going to go back and get your instructors license I was suggested you also combine it with electrolysis so therefore you can do two things up under one license and have two separate license which is beautiful have a great and prosperous Thanksgiving happy early Christmas to you be blessed😎😎😎🤑🤑🤑✳️❇️🐨‼️💯🐯🐅🐘🕊️🦃💆🏼💆💆🏻🕊️🐘🐅🦃🐯🦃🐘🕊️🐯💯
Oh how cool ! Best of luck to you ! In the meanwhile, I have a whole series of skin care videos here on my channel :) a skincare tools video is going up next week
I plan to go to esthetician school in the near future. What’s your advice to someone who’s always had a passion for beauty and skin but never worked in the industry? Once I go to school I’ll have my license but what’s the best way to get in the door to actually start working and gaining clients?
Hi! I’m currently debating if I want to enroll in an esthetician program or cosmology program. The school I’m interested in told me I can do esthetician work with a cosmology license. I ultimately want to do nails and skin so I was going to do two programs (nail tech and esthetician). Can I have some insight please? Did you complete an esthetician program only? If so, did they teach you everything that you offer in your salon, or did you have to take additional courses to become certified in certain specialties? I’m worried that with a cosmology program I won’t leave with the same knowledge and understanding as I would if I enroll in the esthetician program. They said cosmology license holds more weight, is that true?
Ok so I totally understand you. I completed an esthetics program only. I was taught only skin stuff. Nail tech school, same idea, all things nails. Cosmetology school breezes on the surface of both those topics and mainly focuses on hair. Like you’ll get two week of skin, two weeks of nails and the rest is hair. If you’re looking to be a professional in the skin and nail space I would go to the individual specialized schools, one at a time. So you don’t get over whelmed but you can also start working after you get your first license to build clientele, pay off school etc. keep in mind some spas won’t hire someone with a cosmo license for an Esti position because they don’t have enough education for the role.
@@MichelleRother this is exactly how I was looking at it. However, the admin at the school was trying to tell me I’ll be able to do everything with a cosmology license. I really appreciate your input!! I’ve decided to get my cosmology license because, my three daughters and I can benefit from it. After I’m going to go back to school for my esthetician license. I’ve spoken to quite a few nail techs and they have all gone back to school to obtain their cosmology license after being a licensed nail tech.
So I want to become a licensed lash tech. They said I Need a cosmetology license or esthetician license what is the difference what is best to do if I just need it for lashes?
Hey lovely! Omg I love that T-shirt! ..I have a question! Is it okay that I use my hydrating face toner all over my body!?? (avoiding private & sensitive areas like the under arms) or is it okay to include that too? Thanks so much! 💓 Omg so I just moved to the dessert across the globe in Saudi Arabia, I’m having such a hard time finding a great esthetician. I live in Jeddah, any help or advise!? lol Do you happen to know anyone out here?
I don’t know anyone there but keep searching and asking local hair stylist / nail techs for recommendations. I personally don’t need toner all her my body so I would find that to be a waste. Toner rebalances the ph of the skin. If your using ph balance cleansers and body wash you won’t need a toner. Now if it’s a treatment toner / tonic for a skin issue ie: keratosis pilaris (sp?) then I would use it strictly on the areas that need it.
I’m a licensed Master Esthetician in Utah. (13 years experience.) I’ve worked in Day Spa’s, a dermatologists office, as an instructor and laser instructor. I currently work in a Med Spa. There are SOOOO many options as an esthetician!
Right ? What position has been your favorite thus far ? I totally could see myself working in a more medical facility in the future.
Instructing was actually my favorite! But I still loved working in the day spa because of the calmer vibe. I do love working in the Med Spa because I am doing a lot of microneedling and laser treatments that are making BIG differences in my clients skin.
How do you go by becoming a master esthetician? Is it by getting more certifications?
I’m in Utah what school did you go to?
Devanie Calhoun in Utah they have 2 esthetic license options. A Basic which is is 600 hours and a Master which is 1200 hours.
I vote that you stay on your high horse and keep climbing. You are so sweet and have a passion for this. If people tear you down because you are knowledgeable that's on them. Don't let anyone dim your sparkle!

In my state cosmo’s can do everything esti’s can. I wonder if you could just take a refresher course ? Skin care and makeup is so fun!!

Wow I am so amazed by your info and you motivated me more to start my esthetic education
Wishing you all the luck with your new journey !!!

So glad I found this video, you so enthusiastic and awesome! I start esthetician school next week. :)
Great video! Would love to see a future video on what is a good skincare regimen.
As in the order of products ? I can do that !
@@MichelleRother yes! With so many types of products (toner, serum, acne treatment, etc.) it all gets confusing.
If your channel focused on skincare and explained products on the market - what's worth your time vs what's just hype I'd subscribe. Think of channels like Dr Dray and Mixed Makeup. I think youd gain a lot more subscribers with that type of content.
There is so much out there we need to know about ingredients to make informed purchases and understand what to go for.
Wow!!! This was a great video! I am excited to learn all this in my esthetician course. You are rocking it w/ your funny stuff. Dial soap. 😂😂😂
Video very informative relatable & true. Thanks for sharing
I graduated beauty school last year! I've forgotten everything I've learned because I waited so long to get a job. Any tips on remembering? Is it alright to just be honest and go out into the field and learn?

I’m really interested in going to school to an esthetician but I have so many questions about how the schooling is!!
Where do esthetician’s buy their supplies?!
Yes!
Thank you for this video. I’m going to be starting Esti school and I’m here in Arizona too. This video was helpful for me.
Oh how cool ! Best of luck to you !

Yea it’s hard to trust admins, they need to hit enrollment quotas. I’m wishing you the best of luck with your schooling !
I start on Monday!
Hey I live in AZ too! Where did you go to school? I’m super interested and thinking about school
I did a video on where I attended :)
I will be moving to AZ and I wanna go to esty school too :D good luck on your research!
Michelle Marino link?
Alison Padilla cool!
Wowwwww! Excellent video, well done. Plzzzz am in Nigeria, where can I enrol for an Esti school, am passionate about it?
So I want to become a licensed lash tech. They said I Need a cosmetology license or esthetician license what is the difference what is best to do if I just need it for lashes?
Hi, I just lost your link which you mansion on your channel, I can’t able to open again.Could you please help me how can I consult with you?
Do you recommend the school you went too? I'm local in East Valley and looking into different programs!
Hey - I chose this school for very specific reasons. I think I talk about it more in length in the what’s in my Esti school bag video
Just subscribed! Thank you for this video it’s very informative! 🤓🧖🏻♀️💆🏻♀️
yay !!! so happy you enjoyed this !
Could you recommend some books?
I had the Faces book too 😂
Hey lovely! Omg I love that T-shirt!
..I have a question! Is it okay that I use my hydrating face toner all over my body!?? (avoiding private & sensitive areas like the under arms) or is it okay to include that too?
Thanks so much! 💓
Omg so I just moved to the dessert across the globe in Saudi Arabia, I’m having such a hard time finding a great esthetician. I live in Jeddah, any help or advise!? lol
Do you happen to know anyone out here?

Now if it’s a treatment toner / tonic for a skin issue ie: keratosis pilaris (sp?) then I would use it strictly on the areas that need it.
Is it possible to just focus on skin care at school and not study things such as waxing or eyelashes?
I don't think so, I think its apart of the course but im not 100% sure
Skin specifically would be medical esthetician
Emily Noel vibes
I am so flattered ! I adore Emily
its only about $4000-$6000 on average...thats not a "f**k load" of money
The school I’m going to is charging me damn near 9,000 to go. And that doesn’t include the fee for the 2 exams.
Did u have to learn anatomy
Evey Queen yes you learn the muscles in the face , the layers of skin etc
How much did you pay ?
Why is it so expensive thooo
what esthetician school did you attend? im having a hard time finding one :(
JK! just saw it on your other video haha
Bianca Ascencio Hey! I was checking out this school and saw your comment. I’m attending Aveda and love it so far.
Angelica Therese thank you so much ill check it out !!
3 mins into the video you’re talking too much about nothing sorry but you should get to the point more for future reference 👍🏽
