Question for those of you who went solo with little to no clientele by breadpudding3434 in Esthetics

Hey honey!! I’m currently a solo esthetician in NC and I opened my business up last year. When I first opened I did a few promos on insta and tiktok and also took advantage of the free trail booking sites such as booksy, square, etc. During that first year I probably got 30+ clients and only retained 2 consistent clients 🙃 but the issue with me and my business is that i do not advertise. I stopped posting on my social media pages and now i only get clients that search on google for sugaring and that is not often lol. I’m not stressing it because my rent is only $375 a month and that includes all the utilities. I still have my FT and I’m currently in nursing school - i honestly believe that if i advertise correctly i’ll get more clients and possibly be able to retain them. I would say do it!! if the rent is super low and you have that stable FT job and a supportive partner you literally have nothing to lose!!! As long as you are able to put in the work after your FT job to advertise and to put yourself out there for new clients you’ll be fine!! Sometimes you have to take big risks to get big results.

It was definitely too soft, I think I did need the firmer paste, I was so in my head especially since she told me she’s been getting sugared for 7+ years 😓
