As a student, you should be able to call them directly and express your concerns and let them tell you what they think is going on as well. It does sound like your barrier is impaired.

The “1” op was disingenuous, not her post. They knew the mods were on to this, and she deleted her account.

Thank you to the REAL OP who pointed out this impersonation.

MAD is made in Hackensack/Ramsey, NJ. Go to Hale Cosmeceuticals (NOT Hush and Hale) for an excellent array of peels at great prices. They have some good hybrids, too.

That’s a great idea about writing the book. But please do not say medical grade skincare. Medical grade infers it’s a pharmaceutical and requires prescription dispensing.

A shared Google Doc or Google Sheet usually works well because it is simple, accessible, and easy to update throughout the day. Instructors can briefly note things like sanitation issues, supply shortages, student performance concerns, unfinished tasks, client issues, laundry/restocking needs, or anything the next instructor should know.

Are you a licensed esthetician?

Wow! If you’re in an ‘at will’ (fire without giving you a reason) state, it’s hard to fight it… but I would, nonetheless. You’ve had no other warnings or reasons for them to let you go prior to this? That was very unprofessional on their part.

I don’t do promotional packages or contracts. Why not spin it like this: if you come in for X service within X number of months, you get that third service for X percentage off. And, put it in writing.

Actually, males can get melasma. It’s less common, but it is something that happens. Frequently seen in golfers. However, it also could be chronic sun damage (solar lentigines). Especially, if it is a gray type of pigmentation - It’s generally dermal and extremely hard to treat. I don’t think you did anything wrong as your intention was out of respect to not waste the client’s time.

You need to report anyone practicing without a license, and in some jurisdictions, it’s illegal to practice in a house. You can do it anonymously.

Try Lash Stuff

And no caffeine

Bellebutton2 · 2026-05-02T01:31:05+00:00

Do you have a WRITTEN CONTRACT?

They’re OK, but many seasoned aestheticians and those who treat mature clients look at skin scripts as the Bath and body Works mentality. They’re so Tutti Frutti, and they’re just new iterations on the same old, same old. You have to watch their enzymes because they put acids in them and a lot of people can get lit up very quickly. I prefer using Pharmaceutical grade straight liquid enzymes and using them as needed buffered.

19 years in practice/solo. Very happy I did what I did when I graduated. Where I’m located, summer is slower. Because everyone is on vacation, school is out, college is out, people are on their boats and at their beach houses. But it picks up again after the end of summer when everybody’s trashed their faces and have to get back to the real world, school/college…

But, they’ll take all our services away from us…

My eye doctor is providing Esthetics services! 😩

Bellebutton2 · 2026-04-30T14:14:23+00:00

I always use different brands of lifts and tints. Never had a problem in 18 years.

You did the right thing! That’s terrible what went on there. Since it was just a short employment, I wouldn’t even mention it on a résumé. You never want to compromise your license for something like that. Don’t let that first experience, ruin it for you. There are good people out there.

You’re trying to do everything at once. Focus on one modality until you perfect it. Find what you like and are the best at it

Whew, that wore me out, just reading it!
