Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

Q. I am an licensed skin care specialist but I find that just performing facials isn't perhaps as fulfilling as doing something more technical would be. I live in NJ if that matters. I would like to perform laser hair removal, vein removal, wrinkle reduction etc...what kind of schooling or certification is necessary if any? Or could I just find someone that was willing to train me in these things? Any answers from people in the field would be very helpful. Thank you

How hard is it to find a Career in Aesthetics in Columbus, Ohio?

I am currently a LMT and in school for nursing. I will begin classes in March for Aesthetics. Eventually I would like to work in the medical end of skin care or a spa that offers laser treatments, chemical peels and so on. For now though I would like to know what I am up against as far as job placement in just Aesthetics and how competetive my long term goal is.

Answer
I have been in the professional spa products business for over 10 years. During that time, I've seen a lot of spas open and close and a lot of estheticians move from spa to spa.

It's a hard living and not very stable. Get in with a good spa such as Mario's International in OH. Learn a lot and don't fall into the temptation to start your own spa - they have a high failure rate.

Oh, and take a business class at the local adult school.

Good luck.
