If you want to be a true success as an esthetician, you need to provide excellent customer service. Focus in on the client’s main concern for his or her skin. Take time during every appointment to learn about what your client really wants and what they hope to achieve in the weeks and months they’ll be working with you. Do everything you can to make your client feel more comfortable and at ease. You need to build a bond of trust with each and every client you see. They’re trusting you with their skin, so don’t give them any doubt!

Start marketing yourself right now! Consider all that you really learn in esthetician school and share that wealth of knowledge.  Then put yourself and your skills out there. Consider offering free services to new and interested clients as a trial run. Talk with local hair salons to see if you can leave your business card or a brochure explaining all your specialties. Don’t forget to invest in the most important asset of your career: YOU! The more training classes you take, the more experience you will get. Methods, products and routines are constantly changing. The more you keep yourself up-to-date and informed, the more successful you will be.
