3 Fast paced industry

The professional beauty industry has a fast paced trend cycle! There are new techniques, methods, color and haircut trends every few weeks. This means that, if you want to, you will always be learning and pushing yourself. Salon/spa environments also stay on the cutting edge of fashion and makeup.

4 Different all the time

It is common for every day in the spa to be different. Each client will need different skincare products, techniques and outcomes! When you also factor in each individuals skincare challenge, skin texture and lifestyle – there are no two clients that are alike. Each day will bring a new opportunity to connect with your clients and create something special for them.

5 Flexible schedule

A big perk of the beauty industry is that there are no boring 9-5 schedules here! You will able to work a variety of hours and days to keep things exciting! 

6 Job market is growing (look up data)

According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the Esthetics industry is growing at 9% which is much higher than the national average. This means that there are new salons/spas and new jobs being created all the time.

7 You will know how to care for your own skin

As an Advanced Esthetician, you will not only be able to educate your clients and help them with their skin – you will ALSO be able to take great care of your own skin! You can also test new product lines / ingredients before recommending them to your clients, giving you VIP access to the latest technology. 

8 Feeling of accomplishment

How many people do you know who actually enjoy and find fulfillment in the day-to-day of their career? Many estheticians get instant gratification working with clients skin and watching the improvement over time. For example, imagine helping an insecure teenager with her acne and watching her smile confidently in her prom dress. Skin is personal and can make such a difference in someones life.

9 Work with many different people

Estheticians have the unique opportunity to get to know people on a personal level. Working in a spa allows you to meet people from all walks of life and to hear their stories. Even better, you get to be a part of their journey and help them show up each day looking and feeling their absolute best.

10 Opportunities to give back

The professional beauty industry is centered around helping others feel their best. And that mission has also created many non-profits and organizations that give back on a regular basis. Some of these include: donating your services and time to women’s shelters, homeless shelters or to prepare young adults for interviews. An Esthetics license will empower you to get involved in big and small ways in your area and truly make it a better place to live for all people.
