MY FIRST JOB AS AN ESTHETICIAN 

How is it going so far? Do you like it?

anna rose mabile yes super interested in the pay and #1

I was at ME for a year 10% commission and my checks were 50% tips 25% commission

@@heidihoefs4170 so they don’t pay you hourly ?

Thank you for sharing ur experience Alison! I just commented under this video, asking a question that it looks like you sort of answered it for me! I’m starting an Estetician school in November in NJ. They also offer extra certification, after you receive your Estetician license. They offer “medical esthetician certification”. Since my interest is to work in a medical office or Medical spa, if I should even start at place like massage envy to get my “training” in, or just go right ahead and get medical Estetician certification to look for a job in medical spa right away… or they won’t really hire you at medical spa, even with medical Estetician license, without any “experience” ??

Can I ask you what master esthetician school you went to in VA?

murad and pca

They’re most likely looking for experience

I believe she's licensed in California and Nevada. I'm curious about this too because I live on the border of two states.

Depends on your states regulations

If someone is doing medical especially fillers or botox you do need some sort of license or approval

I worked at a med spa and we did more advanced facial procedures such as microneedling, derma planing and lazor machines. The nurse that worked there did Botox/fillers and also vitamin infusions. Some estheticians take phlebotomy to draw blood and do PRP for Microneedling and lymphatic massage. Many estheticans go back to school for nursing to get more advanced training for the medical side which is smart to do. This industry is growing. I may go back for nursing sometime in the future. Just worried about finances. I already have my bachelors in psychology but its best for women to learn as many skills in this tough expensive world

that is why many estheticians are going back to school for nursing or MD to gain more skills under their belts. Also when having a business there are certain things we can’t purchase or order medical grade products such as skin cells due to not have a medical license. So that is pushing us to extend our education to have familiarity and comfort with the medical side of things. Also the business side is super expensive especially the lazor machines@@yoyoyowantsumchicken2go721

anna rose mabile I never thought about that ! I think that is an awesome idea. Wish I would have thought of that when I aaa younger. Good luck to you 🙏🏽

thank you!

A lot of people I know chose to work on a cruise ship so it’s a really good choice 👍

My friend worked on a ship told me she didn’t get a break until bed time, it’s contract work, 30 min services, and you do more 1hour massages than facials and peels. Fast pace but very long days unless you’re ship is parked then you’re free but only for a few hours since you have other chores to do on the boat other than esthetics (sweeping and mopping decks)

@@heidihoefs4170 wait they make you clean the boat as well??? Wth...

as an esthetician i would say it’s necessary to get some experience at somewhere like massage envy etc before moving into the medical part of it, they typically want like 2-3 years experience at med spas

I remember in one of her videos she was saying knowing how to work with laser will increase your pay but also getting more certification will also ! But having the laser degree is perfect for the medical esthetician field. Hope this helps 💜💜💜

@@nakiababy I agree with you, if you spend money to get certified in lasers, I would straight up shoot for the higher paying job, which medical spa would be able to offer … at least that’s what bits and pieces of information I’m gathering as I’m collecting my information bit by bit !

This is a huge question for me as well!

Take the leap I bagged a job 15 an hour right after plus commission

No but at the moment there may be a hybrid lesson requirement due to corona. Some time from home and some time there.

At my school at Aveda our curriculum is broken into 2 parts. One is intro where we have workbook and everything and then second part is us accepting paying clients (money goes to school).

never mind i see that you went after

in the q & a could you say your time line of jobs and education like how you decided it was the right timing to go to national laser institute

Taylor Pettersen yess!! I wanna know this too!

Lol on yourself?
