I’m a Esthetician, a new one ..
and, I think it’s great you found something better suited for you, and I especially LOVE how you give all the glory to God!!
Your beautiful inside & out, all the best to you on your new journey. 💗🫶🏼🙌🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼🌷
That's why I'm a beauty specialist; I do skin and eye treatments, nails and waxing. The variety helps cause you're not doing only one thing.
could you share more about this? I am trying to do some research for my daughter who is possibly interested in esthetics.
@@agresti.mumsie basically you're more likely to stay in a job where you find you don't get sick of doing only one treatment. You get more money when you're qualified in a lot of fields and overtime you can branch out to do what you love having all these qualifications if you get me.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I appreciate you for doing that. We are researching schools - and trying to figure out how it all works so I am grateful for the information you have shared. Trying to help her to be able to be set up for success
This is exactly how I felt and the exact field I’m transitioning into. Esthetics is only enough if you’re ok with the surface level and don’t want to truly understand, fix, and heal the issue medically which is technically why we all mostly go into it. Entrepreneurship is better because our checks at jobs somehow never add up. So keep going girl, very motivating.
That’s so refreshing to know someone is in a similar situation! And yes I agree I worked in a Derm office with a lot of rich and unfortunately pretentious clients and it just all became so vain and superficial and yeah that’s just not my passion or vibe at all so it got a little tough for me!
Is it just normal estheticians that only do surface level fixes or does medical estheticians actually make a difference into the deeper layers of the skin?
@@mango8793 a year later and my mindset has completely changed! No, medical estheticians are not the only esthetic professionals who can learn how to actually make a “fix” below the surface level (epidermis). I see that it is only up to you how far you will go and what you choose to learn. Some estheticians can even go as far as help calm and alleviate skin diseases. Options are wise in skincare but honestly it’s all about knowledge.
@juskevia how has your mindset changed?
I thought being an esthetician was my calling.. Iv been into skin care since I was 11! I’m still very passionate about it! Love fighting with age and it dose work for sure! Iv been a esthetician for years and now I just want to cry when my days are booked. I hate it. Awful. So so physically exhausting.
Doing 7 clients a day just think about it? You are spending one on one with each client for an hour. 7 times! 7 hours of rubbing, cleaning, extracting, changing the bed cleaning process. I can’t even tell you my name at the end of the day I’m so physically exhausted. When you have repeat clients you have to be even better than the time before. There is a lot of science but it’s not that hard learning if you are passionate about it. School just teaches you the basics. Now let’s talk about the pay. You will have to depend on your tips. So if you are working at a mediocre spa with average prices you are going to be bringing home anywhere around 500-600$ a week IF you are busy. Working at a upscale spa you will make more because the prices are higher and when the prices are higher you have clients coming in that have money = bigger tips! Spas have become very greedy when it comes to raises. Basically they want you to hit a tier and that tier means you have to sell at least 3 products to every client just about in order to hit that goal for 3 months. Basically impossible! So unless you have the money to open up your own room you will never make decent living working for someone. It’s time I start a different career
FACTS!
I’m a year in and I’m thinking about leaving already. The money is way to inconsistent for me. I’m at the point where I had to get a second job because I’m not as booked as I’d like at my current spa.
Thank you for sharing this because you helped me to understand why I didn’t enjoy being a medical assistant anymore. Everything in the medical field is always so depending and unpredictable and my brain cannot process that. I need sure answers so I ended up changing my career path to criminal justice and I’ve been much happier.
I’m going through this right now! Took a break from my degree and started an esthetician program. I was so excited but don’t see it being a long term thing for me. I’m glad I gave it a try but definitely want to finish my degree now. This was validating, thank you for sharing your experience :)
Absolutely 💯
I loved watching this! Rooting for you and your new role!
Thank you so much! 💕💕
Girl! I’m so grateful I found this video. I was going to go to esthetician school but I’m also a numbers girly and I was like idk if I’ll be fulfilled. This video was so helpful and encouraging 🥹❤
I came here to find videos about how to decide if esthetics is for you. I've watched several vids and then saw this one. I am SOOOO glad and blessed for you! No doubt, this was a God thing! I'm literally blown away by your stand!
I am in a middle life change, and for health reasons I can't do what I used to do. So, I'm trying to find a new career. Its so HARD! I wish I had a clear vision of what I wanted but I just don't know. And I have so many physical limitations (but I am single and HAVE to work!).
So thanks for this! Sometimes we need to hear that someone found their calling!
I appreciate the honesty and perspective! Glad you’ve made a transition that is working so much better for you. I’m also wondering what style earrings these are, are they by Jaclyn Hill’s collection? So cute either way! Good luck on your journey 💕
Thank you!! And I literally got them on Amazon lol I’ve had them for years and they haven’t tarnished or anything!
Love your inspirational story ❤️
Thankyou soooo much for posting this. I am currently in school to get esthetics license and I am feeling like I am making a mistake.
I struggled alot in my first year and I’m still struggling. So I get it
See I am in the opposite boat… I currently work in finance but have been considering going back to school for esthetics. I am not sure if I want to leave my current job though just because of how amazing of a company I work for.
That’s so interesting, what do you do in finance ?! The one thing that made me take the leap is I start thinking about my purpose, thinking about what I think God put me on this earth for and which option resonated and made the most sense based on that! Also I would not have knows esthetics wasn’t for me unless I tried it you know?
@@khylaj my job title is a supply chain manager but I deal with invoices and keeping track of parts that are being delayed. Not your average accounts payable lol
Wow I felt exactly the same way about esthetics. Thanks for making this.
What’s crazy is this is my journey . Except I didn’t even finish esthetics school. I’m back in college finishing my B.A. even though I said I wouldn’t go back lol
Lol omg I swore up and down I would never be going back to school! So crazy how life works out!
Me right now 😭but I’m close to being done and hopefully I pass this exam right off the back
I am an Esthetician student and I am having second thoughts I don't feel like I'm passionate about it I don't desire it or even think about it on my spare time I feel like im forcing it
I start feeling that way during school!!! I still don’t regret getting my license though, it’s always something I can fall back on and I do still love skincare. It’s hard to keep going when you’re not completely in it though, sorry you’re feeling that way 🥹.
I’m 33 going on almost 10 years in esthetics and I’m getting over it :/ thinking about going back to school but anxious to start over and nervous that everything has changed drastically.
I think your feelings are super valid!! I also think you will never know unless you try!💕
Hi, Im 33 and have a cosmetologist license specializing in waxing. I have been a wax specialist for about 6 years now, but decided to go back to school 2 years into my waxing job. Im currently getting ready to start my last year of my BA degree. My point is that is never too late and if your gut is telling you to go back to school, do it!!!
Time will pass regardless and in the meanwhile you can work on your long term goal on the side!
@@damaris2085 this is true! Thank you so much 🥰
I've been in this industry for 26 years and I'm poor. I work at a 4 star hotel and make no money. When I first started I made 50 % commission. Now I don't even make 11%. I want to change careers but I'm 49 now. I don't know what to do.
I believe its never too late to pivot and start walking in your purpose!!!! ♥️
Have you ever considered being an instructor?
Don’t feel discouraged, I’m a first year esthetician and I told my mom I’m going back to college . You can do it. Age is a non factor , go back to school. I met a woman 50 years old she said she’s in med school. It’s never too late. Don’t let age stop you 💓
I am a licensed esthetician since 2005. I love this industry in aesthetics. I am 45 and haven’t really been practicing it for a while since i chose to stay home to raise my children full time. Now i am in a season where i have a little more time to go back to school. So now i am going to work on being an RN that way i can do needling facial procedures. If you can go back to school and get a higher education in this field would really be step to do what you love and make more money. If you still want to be in this field.
I’m 41, and have been a licensed esthetician For 4 years and not thinking of going back to college to get my Bachelors degree in IT. I currently work for a hospital and have my own esthetics business. I have been thinking about the future. I’m not going to be using my hands forever, so going back to get my degree and have something to fall back on.
Still wondering if I should go to esthetician school , even though I'm licensed in Cosmetology but the schools are always booked/unorganized. Might be God telling me to do more research lol. Great video!!
If you’re a licensed cosmetologist I would check with state board to see what you can do within your scope of licensing. Esthetician school is overrated and you end up investing in continuing education anyway. Determine what you would like to do with skincare and purchase Milady books online, educate yourself and take classes for the services you wish to render. I’m an esthetician student and it’s not worth it if you’re already a cosmetologist and licensed to do skin care services and waxing.
@@soulflowerr thank you!!! 😃
@@soulflowerr how is is esthetician overrated I love skincare but yes the schools here in Cincinnati is very ghetto and unorganized but I was still thinking of going just to have my license to see what I can do with it but that was about it and hoping I can grow clients 🫠🫠🫠
@@soulflowerr so you telling me I can go to school online? For esthetician I wanna be a esthetician I just wanna see if it's worth it because I love skincare but taken clients can be challenging when you first starting out 😭
I have been an esthetician for about 8 years and understand you completely when you said everything varies and there are no clear answers. So many questions and you can only rely on asking the right questions, knowing your products like the back of your hand, trial and error and intuition. There is no exact answer. Still love what I do but the inconsistency in pay and clientele has tired me out. I am now getting into a new career and still keep my few clients as a side hustle.
Wow thxs for sharing khyla
Good for you!!
How did you get into finances ? I’ve gone back and forth about accounting, not sure if I’m even good at it but i love money and learning about finances !
I originally went to school for accounting and before becoming an esthetician I had an entry level job as a credit analyst at a logistics company. I also think I prefer accounting and that’s where I am trying to pivot in my company now!
@@khylaj this is so inspiring !!
Can you please tell me did you ever think about getting your esthetician instructors license as that's where the money is and why would you not think about incorporating other beauty licenses whether it's barbering, cosmetology, hair braiding, or manicuring, or electrolysis? 😇🤔🧐 Personally I think if you have it in your state electrolysis manicuring and or barbering would be great fits barbering will bring more stable money like cosmetology but electrolysis also brings in good it allows you to add an extended service that in many states is not always readily offered or available December 17th 2022. ❄️☃️🧑🏼🎄💰💇🏻♀️
Hey! I did not, I work in finance now and really love my job and the pay. I only do esthetics now on friends and fam
Im starting esthetician school next year in knoxville
I was about to start in Knoxville but now im going to be attending in Memphis
@@latriciadalton6624 i was going to go in Memphis but i change that
@@latriciadalton6624 if you looking in Memphis cure advanced aesthetics is good they teach basic and medical aesthetician i was going to go there but have to pay straight out of pockets
Did you have any debt left over following estecian school
I thankfully did not
How much you were making an hour?
What do you do in finance?
I am a credit analyst and I do a bit of underwriting
Esthetician don’t get paid much ?
No the pay is low
@@mstyles2667 what you mean low if you work for yourself it couldn't be or if you work for a company shouldn't be 15$ that's insane
That truly depends it can be a little or a lot but it truly depends on if you work for someone, commission based or the amount of clients but there are plenty of six figure estheticians like myself. Going on to seven figures by the way.
@@berenice_naranjo You are about to make a million dollars being an esthetician? How so? I know 6 is possible but 7? Just doing esthetics? How so?
I think It’s about what you make of it . I’ve seen multiple ppl make 6 figures from the trade . Most of them have a niche and work their niche. The mre education you have the more you can charge
Life, work takes persistence, practice, dedication, responsibilities. Take time to make money. There is no one or right answer for the human being skin or body. You have a lot to learn in life. Esthetic world is happy to be without you. And I doubt you know something about finances, having a job!
Erika girly, sorry you feel that way, I pray the Lord continues to bless you in the esthetics world🫶🏽
