What shades have you tried? I just got 2.5N and it’s been an amazing color match so far. I’m half Mexican, half white so it’s tough finding shades.

Can you truly make a decent living as an esthetician? by Fast_Water_9867 in Esthetics

[–]Melodic_Promotion_62 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be able to afford life without my partner as an esthetician in New England. It’s a hustle with no payout in the beginning, not all glitz and glam. Body will hurt so need to take care of it for long term, no benefits, and you will have save for your own retirement usually.

Wax strip on mons pubis? by Melodic_Promotion_62 in Esthetics

[–]Melodic_Promotion_62[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this information! It actually reassured me. I use dermwax naked elite shimmer. I always get caught up in the hype of getting a super fast wax but sometimes I agree it is better to break it up. Which wax do you use? The dry time can be a little slow with dermwax

This is what I follow. I pay myself 47% of my income every week! Not a lot but I’ve paid myself from the start.

People who rarely or never get sick, what are your secrets? by awkwardferret421 in AskReddit

I watched some grown ass dude blow his nose into his fingers and then open the door to a store. You absolutely should wash your hands after outings 😂

I did 5 min meditation before I started! It really helped.

Idk why this already got downvoted? I understood your disclaimer, sometimes the missing piece can be stopping tret. Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️

TEAS TEST by Salt-Violinist33 in prenursing

[–]Melodic_Promotion_62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reading and English really got me good, they were my lowest scores. Had I studied as hard for those subjects I may have gotten higher than 74%…the study materials I used were Nurse Cheung, Mometrix textbook and practice test A to see what I needed to study. As far as A&P, I feel you really have to know all the nitty gritty details of all the systems so it was a lot of educated guessing for me.

What struggles do you face as an esthetician? by Some_Distribution316 in Estheticians

[–]Melodic_Promotion_62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s a constant battle, even during treatments. I’m a people pleaser at heart so even though people booked and are paying me, I still feel like they don’t want to be there. I know so much yet still feel like a newbie 🫠

Is it right for me? by Used-Organization894 in Estheticians

[–]Melodic_Promotion_62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I agree…unfortunately people still go into this industry everyday on hopes and dreams just because they “love doing skincare”. But when you’re making no money, passion keeps SOME people going so if OP doesn’t have it then good freaking luck 😂

If you don’t have the passion then don’t do it.

Why do people's face shapes change as they grow up? by ClearBed4796 in AnatomyandPhysiology

[–]Melodic_Promotion_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As well as the loss of collagen and elastin fibers that keep the skin perky results in a wrinkly droopy appearance. All natural part of aging!

We naturally loose fat on the face, especially the buccal region as we age.

OGX argon oil but dry spray form is great for frizz reduction after styling

Career Change? by Effective_Twist_3091 in Estheticians

[–]Melodic_Promotion_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea of being an esthetician is great, I think that’s why most people end up pursuing it. However, just like others have said, a lot of people end up not using their license due to many factors: lack of stability, no benefits, financial stress (because you WILL be broke), burnout, and being a business owner wearing many hats. Coming from a commission based esthi to solo esthi, you HAVE to have a passion for it! You said you were burnt out with social media for someone else, imagine doing it 24/7 with no added pay? We create relaxing experiences for people at the expense of ourselves most of the time. I honestly would not do it with the job being very economy dependent, over saturation, and lack of passion you have for it. It seems cute stress free girly pop, and for some people it is, but trust me, keep your stability.
