LeChat<\/b> – Programs focused on LeChat gels, lacquers, and nail care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThese intensive certifications provide in-depth product knowledge estheticians can use to boost their services. Many manufacturers offer discounted class pricing, starter kits, marketing materials, and continuing support to help certified techs succeed.<\/p>\n
Salon owners often require manufacturer certifications before allowing the use of certain branded products and services. Earning specialty certifications shows commitment to quality and can give estheticians a competitive edge.<\/p>\n
Employment Considerations for Estheticians<\/h2>\nSpa settings<\/h3>\n
Spas offer estheticians a wide range of employment opportunities. Many luxury spas have extensive skin care menus and need multiple estheticians on staff to provide facials, waxing, eyelash services, and spa body treatments.<\/p>\n
Spas are a great option for estheticians who want to focus on providing relaxing and rejuvenating services in a tranquil setting. The spa environment allows estheticians to take their time with each client and really customize the experience.<\/p>\n
One downside is that spa services are viewed as more of an indulgence, so business may fluctuate more than a medical spa or dermatologist’s office. But overall, spas remain one of the top employers of licensed estheticians.<\/p>\n
Nail salons<\/h3>\n
Nail salons are another major employer of estheticians, especially those with expertise in manicures and pedicures. Waxing services like eyebrow shaping or Brazilian waxes are also commonly offered. Working in a nail salon allows you to focus on nail care and waxing services, although the environment is more fast-paced than a spa.<\/p>\n
You’ll have less time with each client. On the plus side, nail salons tend to have steadier business year-round. So there are pros and cons to consider if you prefer the nail salon setting versus a spa.<\/p>\n
Mobile services<\/h3>\n
Some estheticians enjoy the flexibility of working for themselves and providing mobile services. As a mobile esthetician, you can bring your services to clients’ homes or travel to their workplace or a hotel.<\/p>\n
Mobile services allow you to set your own schedule and decide which specific services to offer. You’ll meet clients all over your city rather than work in one salon or spa. However, you’re also responsible for all your own booking, marketing, and supplies.<\/p>\n
You may need to discount your prices compared to a spa. It can be rewarding if you like working independently, but also challenging to build up a customer base. Having business and marketing skills is crucial to succeed as a mobile esthetician.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
While an esthetics license provides a starting point for basic nail care, consider obtaining additional training and certification in advanced nail techniques to maximize your career potential. With the right education and understanding of your state’s regulations, you can safely and legally perform sought-after nail services as an esthetician.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
