What does your job entail?

My job is to provide optimal high-performance, results-oriented skin and body services. This includes a variety of skin care treatments such as facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion (removal of dead skin) and waxing, as well as makeovers and makeup applications. I can also perform other treatments such as body scrubs, body wraps, spray tanning, brow and lash tinting, and ear candling (removal of ear wax).

Estheticians are taught to understand and help a number of skin problems such as acne, sun damage, premature aging and rosacea, and may work with various skin care machines. I also help design a home care treatment plan for my clients to achieve the best results. I give referrals to dermatologists for conditions I cannot treat and to cosmetic surgeons for more intensive cosmetic procedures such as Botox or other injectable fillers. Click here to read the whole article

“May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.”                    St Therese’s Prayer

How I Did It – Business Advice from a Seasoned Female Entrepreneur

I want to invite all readers, business owners, spa professionals or aspiring entrepreneurs to attend this event where I will talk about how I grew and built my last spa and what I’m doing now to build another successful business. It is in Greensboro, NC so if you are not near here then it will be hard to get to. However, I am hoping they will let me tape the event and if so I will post a video or audio clip later on.

 Here is the link for the event. Please share it with others in the Greensboro, North Carolina area that you think would be interested.
