BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:

• How a Facebook community can help you take on additional clients even when you’re fully booked without breaking a sweat.

Are you someone who thinks your clients’ experience begins and ends in the treatment room?

Oh if only it were that easy! But we can’t leave it up to our clients to Google or binge-watch TikTok for the latest fads to take care of their skin in between appointments. The results of that can range from silly (did you really think that a flashlight marketed as a "laser" would reduce hair growth?) to downright irresponsible (hello second-degree chemical burn from a high-powered acid exfoliant used on a fresh Brazilian).

Our job as estheticians extend far beyond the treatment room, as proper homecare can help to prepare the skin for the sugaring treatment, as well as promote healing and prevent potential complications after the treatment. So today I’m breaking down the “’Dos” and “Don’ts” of self-care through all stages of hair removal.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER: 

• How your client’s participation outside the salon directly contributes to your success in the treatment room.
• Why you should be reading between the lines during that treatment room chit-chat to recommend products and tips for your client’s lifestyle.
• The secret to properly educating your clients so you can become a team for Sweet Success!

If you’ve connected with or been inspired by this episode in any way,  leave us a review and let us know your biggest takeaway - I’d love to hear what tips & tricks you give your clients to keep them smooth and satisfied in between treatments!
