Do's And Don'ts For Estheticians 

These tips are useful, thank you! As a young esthetician (21), I feel like I really need to go that extra mile & not do the bare minimum. Especially when I have older clients that might not take me seriously just because I’m younger.

A very helpful video, thank you! Would love to see a video of you doing several skin analysis close up and explaining what it is your seeing, determining skin type & how you come to your conclusions etc

I work at a Forbes Hotel and we have to call them by their last name 3 times, ask about if they are comfortable, ask if the music is OK, do the consultation before the first cleanse and analyze the skin. Then we do the cleanse.

wow Nerida! I love that you are doing this for us esthetician. I've been an esthetician for 15 years and I'm always seeking to learn. I came across your info and I absolutely enjoy it. plus, It certainly has improved my skills. I admire your intensive knowledge, your experience and mostly your desire to share it and pass it forward. thank you💋😘👍

Thank you for this! I starting my first job as an esthetician tomorrow and this is so helpful

I want to be an esthetician and looking into starting soon so these are super awesome tips. Thank you so much!

Your videos are always super helpful , it’s good to hear these dos and don’t from someone how’s been in the profession for so long 💜

Thank you for addressing these things. These will definitely help me give my clients a better service. 😊

I never asked for my guest to add a upgrade, but I do know often times management will push very hard on aestheticians to upsell a treatment and it makes me really uncomfortable doing that. I wish more spa owners understood that.

beautiful! I used to worked in five star/diamont hotels and now I as an aesthetician to come across this idea of developing my own five start style is inspiring! Quarentine is giving me time to see this videos over and over. .. . Thank you so much

Thank you so much for this Nerida! I’m just a month away from graduating estie school and it was wonderful to have some insight on do’s and don’ts. And it really made me feel so much better knowing that I’m already doing some of the do’s that you mentioned. Your content is always so educational and inspiring!

Thank you very much for this valuable video. You've been my model on this profession. Hopefully, one day, I'll be as good and knowledgeable as you've been. 💐

Some amazing recommendations Nerida, I am going to apply this in training my new Estheticians! Thank you!

I appreciate the quality of your videos and the level of quality service you set as a standard.

I find this video very interesting.She giving good advice on giving your clients the best relaxing experience in a spa.

Nerida! This is such an important video!! Thank you so much for addressing this! I have a question though. The Hotel Bel-Air is a little different than say a doctor’s office, or even a regular day spa... when you are meeting a client for the first time, do you ever sit down with them and go over a consultation form with them, say, to discuss concerns, allergies, past cosmetic procedures, or medications? This is something I like doing before they are even on the table, and I wanted to hear your thoughts.

Thank you Nerida. I hope to someday attend a Nerida Joy analysis class. 😀

Great tips Nerida!

Hi Nerida..I’ve been a subscriber of yours for a few months. Jordan Samuel actually introduced me to your channel. I’m not a skincare student or professional, but do have a question for you. After a long term use of antibiotics following complications from last year’s flu. It killed all good and bad bacteria in my body. Of course this proved the prime breeding ground for a malassezia facial infection. I was misdiagnosed by three dermatologists..not one even bothered to look at my skin in any kind of magnifying lens or lamp. Each gave me a different diagnosis and more antibiotics. As I sat there scratching as gently as I could on my itchy face and begged for a culture to determine bacterial vs. fungal..all three refused. I’ve finally gotten the proper diagnosis and a topical anti fungal cream. My skin is still not back to normal. I believe that a good esthetician would have been able to diagnose the issue right away. The products to kill the yeast are prescription shampoos with chemicals and it’s hard on the skin. May I email you pictures of my skin now and have you make some product recommendations for me? Always a pleasure to watch you work your magic and teach! -Robin XoXo

Thank you for sharing @nerida. You did a wonderful job as usual 👏. Skin analysis is tricky and the suggestion of referring to a list is such an excellent idea.

Thank you! I'm hoping to go to esthetician school and this video was helpful 😊

Thank you! I’m a new esthetician as well❤️

Love your videos for new estis! please make more they are very informational and really help me with tricks to add to my new starting career! thanks so much Nerida!

Nerida this video was brilliant thank you so much again. I am studying Beauty therapy and my exams are coming the skin analysis is my major concern because I always get confused to where to start, this video was very helpful 😘😘😘😘😘

I am so thankful for these videos and you sharing your knowledge xoxo

An Esthetician very well known for her work says NEVER use Coconut oil on your face.

I needed this video, thank you Nerida! I am wondering at what point during the facial you talk about home care with clients? I can't seem to figure out when/how to tell them what they should be using. I worry about talking too much and disrupting their relaxation, but I don't like to wait until the end and spring it on them. Thanks so much!!!

Hi Nerida! I’m currently a student at Aveda. Before we even take our guests to our treatment bay, we fill out a questionnaire and we look at their skin in a Wood’s Lamp which shows us different colors, indicating different things on the skin. As I am graduating soon I’m nervous about not using this lamp at my new job. I feel like it is a crutch/ cheat sheet to knowing my guest’s skin type. How should I go about getting used to skin analysis without it? Thank you!

Once again, thank you for your knowledge! I love your work!

Excellent information thanks it's good been in an industry among experts like you.

I am currently in school to become an esthetician- your videos are so helpful and informational! I keep taking notes when watching these videos for reference. Nerida, you are great! Thank you for being an outlet I can come to as a prospect esthetician. Will you ever be coming to Washington state? If so I would love to come to a analysis class as someone else commented below.

When will you be on Dallas Ms. Nerida? I currently reside in Houston and will definitely make the trip there to attend your class. Thank you!!!

Very helpful. Thank you for share your experiences with us.

very informative for beginners thank you . nervous about applying for my first job as an esthetician I just want to be perfect and not mess anything up lol !

Great video. Good reminders.

This is so helpful thank you!

Nerida .. I am a newbie esty and have been watching your videos for awhile .. I am in awe of your style and generosity .. I am older .. vs young lol I have been looking for bioflavonoid .. arnica .. ivy in serums as you always speak of them .. You are my absolute favorite online esthetician and am researching what it is I want to use ... my 'people' are generally over 40 ... I cannot find anything with that combination .. I know you say there many wonderful products out there so I understand if you can't divulge :) thank you for everything I have copied your face massage although I am a massage therapist for many many years and so I get yours :) Would love love to learn from you .. I am located in southern Cali .. orange county beach area .. yes we are beach people and need damage control lol and I know you do not approve of peels .. ;) m

Thank you so much for this video, so helpful ❤️

Nerida your skin is so glowy...could you please tell us (exept for retinol and qflawonoids) which face cream do you use at home and possible what foundation? I have most od The activ products from rejuvi ...and thinking about getting crems ...im 51 with thin skin ( no breakouts)...my skin Love thick oily textures and glossy finish. Thank you so much.You are The best🌸 Maybe you can make A video about YOUR morning and evening routine?

Great video ! Am not an estie just respect your honesty and work ethics. I wonder Nerida, what would be the do"s and don"ts of a client? I have been planning to see you for a while but been saving money. NOW I feel anxious like am meeting a celebrity lol. I don't know it it's normal but I feel anxious and self conscious about being looked closely...Am not to thrill with my skin condition and I know you won't judge me and I want to improve my skin issues but something about it makes me feel vulnerable. silly I know! I watched your videos and have an idea of qs you will ask. I have also seen YOUR compassion toward clients which helps a great deal to ease my anxiety. :-)

Love this video ty❤

Hi Nerida, great video as always... thank you so much! I wanted to ask you what your thoughts are on the effectiveness of skin care products containing collagen?

Nerida, thank you so much for sharing such valuable etiquette information that we aren’t necessarily taught in school. I’m a new Esti just starting my solo practice. I’m debating if I should buy a Wood’s lamp to aid me with skin analysis since I’m still learning what to look for... I never used one in school but I think it might be beneficial. Do you think it’s a good idea or an unnecessary expense?

Hoo very useful video thanks mam

Nerida, I would love to know what brand of makeup you wear? X

You are awesome 👌 thank you 😊

Thank you for sharing! What are your takes in the at home portable hand held high frequency machine ? My facialist uses the acne zapper and it works to kill bacteria on the acne correct ? It works pretty well on my skin it seems. Can you educate me on this and your advice. Very much appreciated.

Hi Nerida! I'm an Esthetician from Finland and I'm wondering if you know about any school that you can apply for after you've finished Esthetician school to learn even more and become some kind of specialist in skincare and in advanced skincare? Best regards, Cecilia

Thank you so much 😍😘

Hi Nerida, I’m new to your channel. I’m dealing with some skin issues at the moment. Any products that you could recommend from brands that are at stores like ulta, Sephora etc? I live in Pennsylvania and wouldn’t ever have the time to fly out to meet with you. And I would love too but it’s not possible for me. Thank you.
