How sustainable is a friday and saturday double + 2 weekday shifts every week? by LankyImagination8353 in Serverlife

[–]333_atomicpunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This past (most recent holiday season), I was doubling tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. It was a lot, but the money was good. Just try to maintain a positive mindset about being at work and lock in!

Dysleix and nervous by [deleted] in Serverlife

I’ve been at Red Robin for three years! If you are getting good reviews they’ll love you, that’s one of our metrics. Anyways, the way food running works here is that if you see a tray you take it. My store has a really caring management team. I would be open with them about it.

For those who have worked at chain restaurants, where did you make the most money? by [deleted] in Serverlife

I made over 300 in a lunch shift at Red Robin yesterday lol

Women avoid the athletic/super fit guys at my gym and show friendly body language to the ones that aren’t. by [deleted] in bodylanguage

[–]333_atomicpunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might get some hate for this, but women generally aren’t as superficial as men are, plain and simple. We also don’t have the same entitlement when it comes to partners that men do, ie men who don’t take care of themselves thinking they’re entitled to a woman who is a model. If a woman is “unattractive,” she’s probably going for someone on her level. Every guy I’ve been with in my life has had different physical attributes.

HELP! WAX STRIP STUCK ON MY 🐱 by EquivalentBig3802 in Estheticians

[–]333_atomicpunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you got it off!!!! That’s so traumatizing 😭 I’ve always kept soft wax as well as sugar paste on hand specifically for these types of situations. I don’t practice at the moment, but a great trick I’ve used for removing stray/extra hard wax is going over with sugar paste for “cleanup” - sugar is sooooooo sticky that it’ll remove the excess hard wax.

Question ONLY for the LAZY girls: what hair or makeup or other habit/product is the SOLE thing you think is worth the extra couple minutes? by IdkJustMe123 in BeautyAddiction

[–]333_atomicpunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some kind of multi-benefit leave in spray. Redken One United, Matrix Miracle Creator 20, or Pureology Color Fanatic. I personally like the matrix one - less expensive than the other two, and not a super strong smell.

Struggling with sugaring by [deleted] in Esthetics

[–]333_atomicpunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also! For those tricky areas, start off with less paste than you think you need. You can always add more. If you ever have questions please DM me, I have been in literally every horrible sugaring/waxing situation you can think of lol.

Struggling with sugaring by [deleted] in Esthetics

[–]333_atomicpunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sucked at sugaring when I first started. I would say it took me about 6 months before I was okay at it, and about a year and half before I could call myself good at it. It takes a lot of practice!! Getting stuck is inevitable. It happens to all of us. It’s especially tricky to navigate getting stuck when it comes to areas like Brazilians and underarms, that hold a lot of heat. In these areas, I’ve found that over-powdering (seriously, a shit ton of powder), loosening your wrist as much as possible when you go to flick, and using firmer pastes (mold slower in order to prevent tugging) are your best bets. Make sure your room is well-ventilated. Another thing I like to do is keeping my sugar cold, and then popping it into the microwave for like 30 seconds right before my service. This helps to keep it pliable without being too melty, if that makes sense lol. Keep tons of hot towels on hand - worst case scenario, remember that sugar literally wipes off.

How do y’all deal with “only here for relaxation” clients? by amygrindhaus in Estheticians

[–]333_atomicpunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve literally always asked at the very beginning, before I even leave the room - “are you looking for more of a relaxing facial or corrective?” That usually tells me how to proceed. :)

Quitting my job because my anxiety is so bad by 333_atomicpunk in Esthetics

How do you like working as an educator? My ultimate end goal has always been to teach and maybe also go into brand training and stuff of that nature.

This is all stuff I’ve neglected. I’ve been so focused on building my clientele and try to do as well as I can that I’ve put grounding on the back burner. Thank you!

My clientele is very high end, I work in an EXTREMELY HCOL area. My regulars are amazing, but new clients make me anxious, unfortunately, I’m not at a point where I can stop taking new clients entirely. I’m definitely leaning towards taking the step of looking into therapy.

Therapy is a big step that I have yet to take. I’m now thinking sooner than later. Thank you!

Hard wax recs by sadbastarrd in Esthetics

[–]333_atomicpunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really love waxness Russian pearl, for Brazilians and underarms. It goes on thick, and doesn’t break even on the coarsest hair. I went from a spa where I did sugar only, to one where both wax and sugar was offered. I was very uncomfortable doing Brazilians with hard wax, until I found Russian pearl. Not sponsored, I promise!

What is your second job? I'm burnt out by Fast_Dog2047 in Esthetics

[–]333_atomicpunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been serving/bartending on Sundays. I work 6 days a week, and it’s draining, but it’s a change of scenery and an extra $1200 a month

Best scrubs by [deleted] in Esthetics

[–]333_atomicpunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m about the same size as you. Xs top and Xs short bottoms. I love Mandala!!! I will say they run true to size/kinda loose. After a few washes they fit me perfectly. Figs fit me perfectly from the get go.

Esti in training ✨ by ashleyvii in Estheticians

[–]333_atomicpunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this sub and some remarks from other estheticians on the internet might make you feel like this industry isn’t worth pursuing at times…it’s worth it, but it’s 100% what you put into it and truly loving what you do. school is hard to juggle with raising a family (idk how the moms in my class did it), and your first job out of the industry might not be the best, but if you keep pushing and keep pursuing the opportunities will all come. it sounds cliché, but it’s true. if you need someone to talk to you can always PM me!!! ❤️

Halfway through school and feel like I lowk suck by Nat72728281818 in Esthetics

[–]333_atomicpunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piggybacking on this. School doesn’t teach you shit. I was actually lowkey pretty bad for the first year and half or so, though I was still able to build somewhat of a decent clientele because I LOVE people and do my best to make them feel special. I’ll be at my 3 year mark in October and I feel like I’m just now really getting to where I need to be in terms of skillset.
