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. 💗🫶🏼🙌🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼🌷

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 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.

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’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 :)

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

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 loved watching this! Rooting for you and your new role!

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.

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'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 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 💕

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.

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

Love your inspirational story ❤️

I struggled alot in my first year and I’m still struggling. So I get it

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

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.

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.

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!!

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 !

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. ❄️☃️🧑🏼‍🎄💰💇🏻‍♀️

Wow thxs for sharing khyla

Good for you!!

Im starting esthetician school next year in knoxville

Did you have any debt left over following estecian school

What do you do in finance?

How much you were making an hour?

Esthetician don’t get paid much ?

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!
