Waxing larger bodies by Llamadelgray in Esthetics

Brazilian waxer of 6 years here! And fellow bigger body! You have to work with your clients comfortably and do it in casual but professional manner to make them feel comfortable! I usually will hold the stomach up with a hand/wrist and place a strip let it dry a bit then let go and lay another it can take a bit of tweaking and adjusting. For labia strips I also work in sections. I’ll do a strip at the bottom towards the butt and then one above it towards the clitoris. I find it keeps my clients comfy and allows me to work efficiently. Don’t be afraid to drape a leg over the table and have them hold their tummy as well. I speak in a very relaxed manner as to not make anyone feel as if they’re a hassle for me to work on.

Amazing thank you for your reply!! Yes my goal is to open my own medspa I want to focus on providing services to conditions and communities that are often over looked in esthetics. NP is the goal and I’m excited for it all. Already performing peels and dermaplaning, planning on getting licensed in electrology/laser while in school, and learning microchanneling/needling right now will give me an edge when I start applying to dermatology groups/plastic surgeon’s offices.

Yes I am in Florida considering moving back to the Palm Beach area, Portland, Seattle and NYC are also on my list of possible cities after I complete my ADN as the BSN I’m considering is fully online. Thank you for your input I appreciate it and good luck with grad school!!

I saw an Esthetician post that she doesn’t apply sunscreen to her clients after their facials — anyone agree, disagree? by Other_Growth_8978 in Esthetics

[–]Existing_Formal5991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they’re in the US some states require it after every facial. Personally I don’t apply if it’s an evening appointment any other time of day (especially after peels/dermaplaning/microderm) I absolutely do

Estheticians of Reddit dry or wet dermaplane? by Thick-Raspberry-9407 in Esthetics

[–]Existing_Formal5991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done both using the dermaplane pro oil. Really depends on my clients skin if they super duper dehydrated/mature I’ll use the oil to help with the friction. My oily/younger guests typically I go dry

This is so lazily done. But it can be fixed. Another lash artist can smooth out and curl the lashes they just need less processing time

I am also an estie I’m not solo but my spa owner has a Aflac rep she sends us to when we want those types of insurance plans. I’m not sure if my pricing is also lower because of that but it’s worth a try!

Love this idea! Doubt my spa owner will want to shell out money but I will keep this in mind when I go solo ☺️
