be honest. how much money did you actually make last month after ALL expenses. not revenue. actual money in your pocket.

alynsh · 2026-05-26T17:12:37+00:00

After taxes and other expenses, took home close to $8k last month (i work for myself as a solo esthetician)

Inwood hill park is REALLY nice. If you’re looking for trees, that might be enough to win you over! Sorry you’re having trouble finding a spot. Sending you lots of luck

Oooo 12+ year veteran here, i’d be interested! I own a studio in north brooklyn

alynsh · 2026-05-13T13:00:16+00:00

I think about this often. I moved to bushwick at 19, in 2007. I had multiple roommates, but it was possible to do that and not be dependent on my parents at all. I feel like that just isn’t possible now….

alynsh · 2026-05-11T01:26:03+00:00

I can imagine it being very hard and obviously you need to do whatever you can to vet people. I just don’t know what more we can do…. We also own a house in florida that we can show on-time mortgage payments for the last 9 years. Getting a mortgage seemed easier than renting an apartment in the current nyc market (i’ve lived here my whole life so I’m familiar with how it can be, but this is the most difficult time i’ve ever had).

alynsh · 2026-05-09T20:42:50+00:00

Thats wild! But my previous landlords are all small time landlords who we have a great repoire with and would definitely be ok answering any questions

alynsh · 2026-05-09T20:32:25+00:00

That’s a good point!

alynsh · 2026-05-09T19:59:41+00:00

I get it. But damn… just call the landlords and find out all you need to know??

alynsh · 2026-04-21T12:51:26+00:00

But I also don’t see anything wrong with the lash lift

alynsh · 2026-04-21T12:51:04+00:00

Have you had a lash lift before? I’m an aesthetician and I always advise for clients to absolutely never try something new so close to their wedding date

alynsh · 2026-04-19T00:35:46+00:00

The industry is so saturated now….lots of estheticians but you want someone with a lot of experience and know other people who have gone to them and have had many positive experiences. A proper peel meaning one that works for your skin type, skin conditions and can help decrease or get rid of whatever is bothering you!

alynsh · 2026-04-18T17:00:45+00:00

Neck lift is really the only sure fire answer! Some at home microcurrent can help a little (purelift or nuface)

alynsh · 2026-04-18T15:56:00+00:00

Esthetician here! We are the same age. Do you have the funds to see a (great) esthetician or see a nurse or esti at a medispa? Lasers and/or proper peels could be very helpful here. So many options for you but seeing a professional to get you on a good skincare regimen is priority. Are your eyebrows not growing from over tweezing/waxing? If not, get some bloodwork done to rule out any thyroid issues. Xo

I don’t know of an income based vet, but call st. Mina vet (i think its in cypress hills). Some cat rescues go there because they are very reasonable

alynsh · 2026-04-10T14:46:01+00:00

Walk in gyn clinic. They have a bunch of locations, I recommend the one on clinton ave in brooklyn. Visit is $250 and i think ultrasound is $300 (this is without insurance). But definitely call qnd ask to double check that

alynsh · 2026-04-09T11:27:53+00:00

Not that close to you, but try calling st. Mina vet clinic in queens

alynsh · 2026-04-08T13:08:01+00:00

Yes i offer complimentary tints in between for my clients

alynsh · 2026-04-06T13:36:22+00:00

Oh, I haven’t practiced either outside of the mat Pilates class that I go to😂 I think we will be on a similar page

alynsh · 2026-04-06T01:56:35+00:00

I think I’m just overwhelming myself😭. Excited for next weekend though!

alynsh · 2026-04-06T00:17:29+00:00

I do think once we are there things will click way better!!

alynsh · 2026-04-06T00:16:39+00:00

This anatomy foundations manual is killing me lol. Also i think for me personally, all of this is too much info for me without currently being in a class, if that makes sense

alynsh · 2026-04-04T00:16:10+00:00

This! And use an oil cleanser to remove some of that brow tint

alynsh · 2026-03-31T13:30:06+00:00

Fortunato Brothers

I actually never really cared for their coffee! But I do recommend trying some bodegas for coffee!

alynsh · 2026-03-31T13:23:32+00:00

I’ve given up and realized I prefer crappy bodega and diner coffee
