Do you want to be an Esthetician/ Medical Aesthetician? Jobs? Pay? + Esthetics School? 

What topic do you guys want to see next?

I really looking into the field of Medical Aesthetics right now and this video was more than helpful , there’s not a lot out there to educate yourself on about the topic

You Kind of look like kourtney Kardashian

I'm going to Aveda right now and we have such an amazing instructor that does so well with teaching and working with all the different "learning types" so that the information is getting through to everyone and pays so much attention to the "feel" in the classroom to determine whether to change from lecturing theory from study slides or hands on learning such as practicing facials, massages, treatments, waxing etc. We received an iPad in all of our kits and that is what we access the aveda learning website from so that we can write our notes (which looks just like a workbook page notes) and study slides but we also received a workbook if we want to use that instead/also. We recently had "Industry Day" where many owners, leads (spa leads), and estheticians came in to allow us to market ourselves and check out the different spas in the area and what they have to offer. Everyone was so nervous, we dressed up as if going to an interview and found out that those owners and leads were actually just as nervous to talk about their spas and success as we were nervous to talk to them. They all were eager and interested to hire new estheticians even as front desk until we got licensed. I actually talked with 2 spas that want to have an interview with me now. It was such a good idea and a great opportunity that we were given. I do have a bit of education from college experience prior me starting at Aveda that I can use towards getting my nursing license and become a nurse aesthetician and work in or even own a med spa. Which would be bank really. But ya, thank you for sharing your experience and you didnt ramble. I always ramble so that's why this comment is so long. Sorry!

Wow NOW this is how you do a video, loved it clear and to the point, just subscribed, I’m a mature woman and new at this and after seeing many videos this one made so much sense..thank you

Thank you. I’m currently in school in Maryland and I’m using the milady books and mark lees workbook. You said it exactly as far as self studying.

wow! this advice was very helpful. thank you I really needed this

This helped so much! Thank you, loved the video ❤️

I’m thinking about going to esthetician school in March thank you for this vid 🙌🏾 you’re right nobody really talks about this career

This video was very informative ! I want to be a nurse but i was looking into medical esthetician but im not sure anymore after your video - definitely didnt think about alot of this before ! thank you girl for posting this video !

Thank you for your honesty 🤍

Thank you the video was very helpful definitely want to become an esthetician

I just found this video , & although it was 2 years ago it was super helpful!!! :) thank you!

Thank you very much for the advices!

Thank you ! You were very helpful 👍🏻

Great information! Thank you 🙏

Very informative! Looking into changing careers and becoming and esthetician and this has helped give more insight

Yass your video is soooo helpful !! I’m currently in school for medical assistant and I’m in my last semester and I’ve been debating on going back to become an esthetician to be specific a medical esthetician. Thank you for this info !! People don’t talk about this career !!! ♥️

We need a part 2 for this vid :)

You really just helped me with wanting to be a medical esthetician I’m currently a medical assistant thanks love

She looks better than kourtney kardashian and this video just helped me with my esthetician journey. Thank you very much ✨

Very Helpful, thanks

Thanks for doing this video. It was very informative. I'm just nervous of whether to get into a beauty school to become an Esthetician considering how much the tuition is. I feel I need to a career change and I love learning about skin care. But with how much the program is, I'm not sure if it's something I should get into.

This was hellla helpful

So glad I found your video! It's super informative. I had one question though, for your state board exam did you find it difficult or pretty easy?

I started looking into esthetician courses actually because of dermatology videos. Theres an esthetician channel I follow and shes amazing. Mainly she shows the removal of blackheads and things like that. I dont know much about makeup but growing up with bad skin this is something I became interested in. Even though I know nothing about makeup/skin now and I really want to focus on cleaning and helping with skin conditions do u think I should continue looking into schooling?

This video was so helpful!! I’m currently a hairdresser and work as a brand ambassador on the side as their esthetician. I found that I enjoy skin way more! What advise can you give to a Cosmetologist looking into Medical Aesthetic? From my understanding is the boards will shave off hours on a aesthetics program but I’m all about saving money so maybe I can do medical assistant program and that will make me look more hire able for a med spa? Sorry working in the Medical Aesthetic world is super new to me. Thank you in advance ♥️

In Texas, you have to have to be a registered nurse to be a medical aesthetician!!

I'm in Washington state. I hear all these good things about having ur RN with a master esthetician license. But what if u only have LPN and CMA and don't plan on going back to get ur RN? I've been interested in enrolling in a local beauty school that offers a master esthetician program, it's actually only mile down the road. And I'm really wondering if I should take a master esthetician course 9months long or just a regular esthetician course approx. 3 to 4 months long but it's out of town and over 30 mins away. I really have my mind set on being a esthetician but I just don't know what's going to make me stand out more in this line of work...

I think I agree with you I have the materials coming through PSI to get my cosmetology license because in the State of Michigan you have to have that first before you can become a Medical Aesthetician...however,d I may change direction and become an MA or PA

That was a really interesting new perspective on medical esthetics I hadn't heard, cause like a ton of other people said, it's so hard to find info on it! I would like to do injections, filler, etc, but I really don't wanna go very far into the medical field and the education and time and money I would have to put into that would be way too much in comparison to medical esthetics, since it's my biggest interest anyway. I figure I'll go through with medical esthetics because I really wanna be able to perform advanced chemical peels, microneedling, that kinda stuff

You did a great job explaining it everything u said are true I’m an Esty and I’ve had the same experience I’m in Florida this is the lowest paying state for esthetician it’s all commission

so helpful 🙏🌹

Yes Mainly I wonder @ How much Money I would make realistically .

THANK YOU

Hello! I’m currently a MA at a derm office and looking for going more into my career, it’s a lot of work for not that great of pay but I’m very interested in being an medical aesthetician bc I’m obsessed with skin care and I wanna help ppl with acne and etc bc I know the struggles of having horrible skin growing up. Anywho just out of curiosity would you personally recommend that career for better pay wise? And or is there something else you recommend going into skin wise ? (Probably a stupid question sorry!)

14:30 for the 💰

hey girl! good for you for going into get your nurse degree! i'm actually an RN and decided to go to esti school so i could learn more about facials and other treatments.\ i dont think it's been a waste but a lot of self-teaching, like you said... being in a med-spa setting, how would you recommend i market myself? i don't only wanna do botox/fillers... but i feel w/ my career background, i either have to decide branding myself as an esti in order to do facials etc or brand myself as an RN & have to focus on botox/fillers...

Every state is so different and some states now require be a doctor to do injections, I would not recommend go to medical assistance or just nurse to do injections, the chances that you will need doctor degree for that soon is high. Especially do not go for esthetician career with Botox/injections future intentions, it’s not that field. Do not go to esthetician if you want to do make up, or hate doing skin care, it’s cosmetology path. Go for esthetician if you are sole proprietor oriented, if you are love skin (not a makeup etc), this career is requiring to know what you want in the future, and it’s not like something that stagnant, every day new things coming up, trends and other stuff that people will ask you at the appointments, need constant learning and live that lifestyle.

Hi, I am almost an RN and would like to get into the aesthetics later down the road. Do I get certificates to do procedures ex. cool sculpting, eyelash extensions, pmu, brows,facials, waxing? Or would I have to go esthetician school?

Can you go into detail about medical assistant

Which milady book if for medical esthetics? I just have the original milady book the one you have.

I'm journeying into medical practices now i'm a little undecided but i think id like to become a dermatologist or physician assistant. I know the better educated you are the more marketable you will be! also add me on RU-vid Ill be vlogging more of my journey this Fall i'm excited LOL!

What books would you recommend buying as an esthetician and Medi aesthetics. I would like to do a self studying

Don’t want to be the Debby downer here but....... I went to school to be an MA. Completed the schooling and couldn’t find any MA job. No office would take my “internship” as experience. The majority of jobs I found wanted 5+ years experience and even stated that internships and externships don’t count. I wasted 12 grand on something I still haven’t been able to use and it’s been like ten years. Unless you know people working in doctor offices or hospitals don’t waste your money it’s not worth it. I regret it. I learned a lot but I’ve always loved skincare and have been thinking about going to school again for that.

Should I study to be a medical assistant first and then do esti school or vice versa?

This video was so informative 🙏🏽. I’m currently enrolled at Aveda but my goal was always to work in Dermatology office which is becoming clear to me now that it will be pretty difficult for me to start there. I’m considering going to school to become a MA once I graduate. What are your recommendations on that ?

I have skin that’s allergic to wax and a couple of other things so I was wondering if you have to let people practice on you?

Should I take a laser hair removal class? After the aesthetician license.. I live in LA

You are gorgeous 😍😍

Hey so lf I’m looking to do waxing ,facials and pre op massages... would it be best for me to just do luxury esthetician?

I start esthetics school in march and my dream is to work in a medspa. I’m considering going to school to be an RN after I graduate. What is it like going to nursing school to specifically be an aesthetic nurse, being that they don’t teach you about aesthetics in nursing school?

Thanks so much,this reset 2019 video your makeup looks beyond Flawless beautiful olive-skinned I would like to know if you could do a video that shows what some of the supplies will be needed and the proper setup to pass your exam I know each state has different but if you see different states go through it it will kind of get you prepared I know this with PSI Bill State you have to bring like a robe and you have to bring two sets of sheets and I need to know if that is the case what type of sheets is it like a flat sheet fitted sheet and with the road does it have to be a terry cloth type of Road I've been thinking about it and taking up esthetician School however it seems like a lot of RU-vid videos that I see where people say they start off and not making anything and personally I got a problem and having to take out a loan to pay somebody 5 to $9,000 and not be able to get out and start recouping at least over 98% of that ASAP so what are your views on that and did you get a chance to work with Dermalogica products and if so how did you like it finally I like to know have you gotten a chance to work with the different vitamin C vitamin E serum send what is your views on that I also want to ask one other question what is your view on apprenticeship versus going to school thank you so much for posting this new video and I hope that you will make more enjoy your summer thanks a lot😎😎🤔🤔🤔🤓😇🤠🤡🤔.

Could you talk more about negotiating salary when working in retail?

I’m a nurse, and I am looking into skin care.. I work for a doctor now that would be more than willing to allow me to do my own solo practice in her office for minimum charge. She’d also refer me patients. I’m just wondering how it will all work out for me getting paid wise. Like, could their insurance pay me if it was a medical necessity or would the insurance prefer them to go to a dermatologist in order to get paid

Did you have to get two different licenses between the two states?

What if you are a licensed esthetician and are also certified in filler, botox etc... do jobs look at that and would that make you qualified to preform those procedures?

Hey!! So happy i found your video! I have a question about your advice on being a medical aesthetician, I want to do body contouring; skin tightening, wood shaping, ultra sound cavitation, etc .. i see courses where pple are teaching these services but I’m wondering if there is a more traditional or certifiable route? Are u familiar or do you have any advice on how to go about this?

I'm a medical assistant and it's not what I thought it was going to be. It's hard to get into a dermatology office or plastic surgeon office unless you know somebody, jobs are more lenient if you are fluent in Spanish (I live near Miami and my Spanish is intermediate but I speak creole fluently). The places that pay more will take somebody that speaks no English but fluent in Spanish over somebody that is fluent in English but mediocre in Spanish. The pay is horrible for the amount of work you do, you do the job of a nurse for $10-15/hr pay and a lot of companies will try to fight you to not get $15/hr during the interview unless you have 5 years of experience or if you work at a derm. or plastic surgery office. Target employees in my area get paid $14/hr starting off. I have 2 almost 3 years of experience being an M.A and phlebotomist and nobody wanted to pay me at least $16hr (side note I also have a B.S in health science). So now I'm going to school to be an esthetician so that I can have the potential to grow (especially in pay), work in a field that seems to be fun (that I can potentially be my own boss) and not have to answer to any rude doctors. My end goal was to become a Physician Assistant but my experience in the medical field has made me lose my passion a bit but we will see what the future holds.

hi! i just graduated, i’m a certified medical assistant & i am about to start work at a clinic. i want to work as a medical esthetician, would you recommend just going to school for esthetician & just apply as a medical esthetician? lol i’m just lost. i want to take the easiest route! i eventually want to go back for RN so i can become an aesthetic nurse, but i want to get my foot in the door for rn. thank you!

I want to do sales and Education

The school im wanting to go to is wanting my grade transcripts, will still stop them from accepting me???? I made bad grades in hs!

Where is a good place to go to study medical esthetician in Florida?

Where did you go to school for the esthetics or did I miss that

Your pet is very content 🙂

what was your major in college? I am currently in college trying to figure out the best major for medical esthetician

For a moment I was like.... is that kourtney

In CA only a nurse RN can do botox or fillers

I would report them to the Board Education .

what is a medical assistant? googles got nothing for me

If you’re a nurse with an esthetics license can you technically also work as a medical esthetician?

do we need to go to college to be a medical esthetician? and how long would it take

Is there any online skincare school ?

I’m thinking of going to an esthetics school, so your saying to become a Medical esthetician you have to a medical assistant first?

I basically want to go into esthetics for waxing is it worth it ?

If I become licensed, is it possible I can start my own business out of my home or how does that work?

Wow, you resemble Kourtney Kardashian very much 👍😃✌️

I'm a Registered Nurse considering a career switch to medical esthetician. This video was very informative thanks.
