ESTHETICIAN Q&A | BEGINNER ESTIES PLEASE LISTEN 

You told me everything I needed to hear & was brutally honest with that sternness lol…but you also let me know that I’m doing a lot of things right & with persistence, consistency and faith I will be okay. I’m a new esthetician, I’ve been in working for about 9 months & I started off with 0 clients, then 1 & the 7 & now im slowly growing new clients every week and a few a month now. It’s scary and social media can pressure you but I’m taking it one day at a time and bettering myself everyday. My business , content, and learning stays on my mind 24/7 😭😭😭

Girlllll! I’m an Esthetician and Brow Artist and I love this video! Your honesty is REAL & true. I went through it trying to build my business and it really takes hard work, sacrifices, and some rough days but it’s up to YOU to get your business booming. Can’t be lazy and want a 7 figure business. Study study study!

The issue is most girls that go to beauty school of any kind are young. They are not passionate about skin care or being an esthetician they just 'want to have their own business'. In my class of 22 honestly maybe 5 of us have gone into the industry. The rest were there for the ride, to show off on social media or because they got a scholarship. Most people that go to esthetician school are simply not cut out for the line of work but are lured in by social media people telling them how much money they make. I was appalled by what I witnessed in esthi school, I wouldn't let 99% of those girls touch my face even if they were paying me.

I LOVEE how real and to the point this video is, I'm on my way to take my esthetics license test in August and have been looking for more resources as I practice. I felt called to purchase the books you mentioned in the video - I used your link!! Thank you for being so honest with your answers, it really helps me as a newer esthetician put my decisions into perspective. I am slowly growing my business and with that I am learning 24/7 how to be the best version of myself for my business and for me!! Also hello Oreo

Watched this video a few months ago before graduating. Came back to it this morning bc I needed to hear it. Your words stuck with me, thank you for sharing them.

Everything you said is spot on. I appreciate your brutal honesty because so many people in the industry only talk about how much they gross monthly as a solo esthi and not all the hard word, blood, sweat and tears go into it. Not to mention already being in a hole from the beginning. Love your videos Xoxox

Thank you so much for your time and consistency to teach your viewers/ subscribers. I know it's not easy, but I appreciate you so much.

As always thank you so much for you input, and knowledge! Wishing you much more success and blessings keep posting the awesome videos

I've loved your videos throughout my schooling. I just passed my theory about a week ago. Waiting to do my practical!!💜

This was incredibly helpful! Your passion is contagious and has inspired me so much!! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your heart 💛

I just passed my state boards yesterday, I needed this video for words of encouragement 💕

I listen to podcasts, watch videos, study the milady book, and read and take notes on supplemental books.. Every day because I love it. I'm making a binder to organize all my book notes by topic (so each divider tab will have several different sources covering each of the topics).. There is a reason I'm doing this.. I got plans baby!! I'm also taking steps for my business, so I'm gonna be doing some courses on that aspect as well. I first got my diploma and license back in '02 when I was 22 (luckily I still somehow look 22 lmao), didn't always work in the industry so I was dumb and let my license expire (studying right now to renew it). Gettin back into it professionally now though I never stopped being passionate about it or learning.

I start school on the 22nd this month and I’m sooooo excited! I’ve been learning from milady already 😩🤣 this is sooo real and I’m so appreciative of this video!

I needed this video ! I quit nursing school and i m taking time away from that. Srsly been considering esthetician school and yes it is so important to have passion and do research outside of the classroom and i knew that i definitely love making people feel beautiful! thank you for this video very straight to the point , no fluff.

Thank you so much for this video. Really needed to hear this, about to finish esthetician school in July!!!

I’ve been working at a corporate med spa for over a year in a half now. I’ve been really looking into and doing a lot of research in opening my own place. I know a lot of people that have their own businesses and they tell me everyday just do it. I’m scared but I rather do it scared then be here in this toxic corporate environment. Thank you for your video !!

No you said what needs to be said. I graduate in July & I’m working nonstop everyday doing my research, watching videos, listening to podcasts, etc. because I’m dedicated to this. Not for the lifestyle but, because I’ve been doing this since I graduated high school. Thankfully this field grew for me to do what I wanted to do. I’m always reading, studying, creating case studies and I work hard. Single, no kids, same age as you. So the work ethic I put into being an esthetician ? I enjoy because I know I’m passionate about it. Keep giving these tips ! I love your content. Keep inspiring other estheticians. You do amazing just being you. I definitely can’t wait to actually meet you in person and have dope conversations like these. You would make a great educator. 🤍

I start esthetician school on the 11 of August and I feel more mentally prepared than ever!

Thank you Lia, I needed this! So much!

Very good information. Yes to confidence, it’ll take you far!

I appreciate this video! I just became a licensed esthetician! This video was so helpful! Thanks ❤

I have been getting into looking for sunscreens great for black skin . If you feel called , i would love a sunscreen video 💖

Thanks for this❤

I really love your videos, Im esthetician I graduate in June, I am a brow artist & makeup artist trying to push my brow business and I swear it pushes me.. I want to start doing more facials after watching your videos

I start school on the 24th of this month and I feel so confident going in….. IF I FAIL I CANT BLAME NOBODY BUT ME… I’ve been researching so much. Writing down everything I can get ahead on.. and have been watching you for a year or so now and I’m soooo excited to start this journey…

I needed this….

Lia you told the truth about esthetician route, even though I'm a cosmetologist I do provide esthetics and hair services for the last 6 years. I have had numerous esthi's/ cosmo's asked me if going solo is the right approach for them, I just tell them truth look everything is not glitter and gold, please know what your signing yourself up for this isn't a way to make quick money, because you see girls with new purses and handbags etc. you using that for your motive... its not in your heart, its not the right business for you. this is a longevity or maybe a short term goal for yourself. yes theirs is nothing wrong with working for yourself and running your own business, know that clients are gonna come and go I feel like social media is a tool it can help you or hurt you regardless. what I was told in school theirs bad money and good money. " you always gonna have 50 returning customers versus that one time client". best to all the new esthis. Thank you for shedding a light on this lia.

Florida has great schools I wish I could attend , however not even half of the hours needed for my state

Very informative!!

I will reiterate/second another comment I saw - you would make a great teacher/educator!

Where did you start doing the facials at? Your home or did you rent a suite ?

Omg we are the same age I just started esthetics and felt out of place because of my age and I feel u on saying that there is no one like you 💚💚

I know with cosmetology school they don’t teach you skill basically just sanitation.I want to go to Esthetician school I love all things beauty but I do not know how to wax or nor have I worked with facial chemicals.Any advice?

How much should you save for a suite? I’m young I’m just thinking how will I have a suite and save for a house (not apartment) at the same time?

Beach background q&a

Hello...i have a question about your course...exactly which crouse you attened in boca beauty school?plz just let me know the name...i am planning to join the same school...i really appreciate if you just help me with that..

The realness is unmatched...I just knew you were about 22...

Yes those estheticians who swear by dermalogica be biased lol just like waxers and sugarers be biased on the other service they don’t perform…I swear I thought my school skin care line was bomb until I started using skin script and other brands

Do you ship to Ghana?

Is there an association for estheticians?

SKKIIINNNNNNNN IS POPPN LOL! But I was still paying attention lol
