Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Esthetician Consultation
So, you’ve finally booked your first consultation appointment with a licensed esthetician. The excitement is beginning to set in as you imagine how your skin will be glowing post-facial treatment. But there might be more to your first consultation beyond booking your first facial treatment.
Here are 3 things you need to know before your first consultation with a licensed esthetician…
Be prepared to answer questions!
Your esthetician wants to make sure they know everything they need to in order to help you achieve your skin goals. Estheticians go through over 600 hours of educational certification to ensure that their services are tailored perfectly to you and your skin goals. You may be surprised to find your esthetician asking you questions about…
Health history
Skin history
Medical diagnosis’
Allergies
Nutrition & lifestyle habits
In order to give you the best, most effective skincare treatment for your skin, it is important for your licensed esthetician to understand who you are holistically. Again, they are asking these questions because they are experts in the skincare field—and your skin deserves to be treated by an expert.
Be honest and open-minded!
Based on the following point above, if there is information you are not willing to discuss with your esthetician, mention that to them beforehand. Depending on what it is, this may limit future facial or skincare treatments in order to protect your skin’s health.
However, the questions you are comfortable with answering, give your esthetician a transparent, honest answer. It is good to come prepared with…
The names of current medications you are taking (especially ones that are from a dermatologist or OBGYN)
Any metal implants or devices you have in your body
Any mental health issues that you are aware of
Estheticians don’t just “rub faces” for a living!
Though estheticians are passionate about pampering you and your skin, they don’t simply “rub faces'' for a living. They aren’t solely in it for the money, and don’t want to only sell you services and products. Licensed estheticians are professionals who have extensive training in understanding the human body scientifically and what that means for your skin’s wellness. Everything they do for you is an act of service, a labor of love. They want you to take your skincare seriously because investing in professional skincare is investing in your long term skin health.
Do not underestimate your licensed esthetician and remember to respect their business like you would any other professional. We promise if you listen to what they have to say, you will finally see the skin results you have been dreaming about.
