I'm 27 & I am currently in the process of another career switch... it's been a stressful ride, a lot of self judgement & uncertainty because I'm not sure exactly what I want to be doing & how well I fit in those roles. Since the pandemic, meditation, stress regulation, & self care has become my top priority... I'm a Taurus rising, we love pampering & relaxation lol. Watching this video, as you're explaining these things to consider, I never felt like I had to say "I can be open to that" or "hmmm idk about that but I can try". My work history, the parts of it I liked, & lifestyle allows me to feel like I may actually be a perfect fit for this. I think I'm signing up lol
Dude I’m 39 and am trying to save for class in 2025 🤷🏻♀️😅. But I am wanting to know fit self knowledge honestly…. I would love it. And I would try to do a few ppl…. Like only close friends.
Girl I am 28 & I have never resonated with a comment so much... then I looked at your Name & it's the same as mine lol. Luv that, definitely signing up too. I wish you lots of success and fulfillment on your journey
🧖🏾♀5 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE BECOMING AN ESTHETICIAN ⏰ 5:03 ❶ This is a very client centric and “cater 2 u” type of job ⏰ 11:55 ❷ Best to have strong Customer Service and Interpersonal Skills ⏰ 15:23 ❸ Strong multi-tasking skills ⏰ 17:47 ❹ Have a willingness to learn, educate and invest in continuing education ⏰ 19:41 ❺ Have PATIENCE! There’s a lot of rinse and repeat involved
The question would be about this. If you are not a people person and you don't like to talk, is this profession possible? According to this video, the answer is no. Thank you for the info.
@@lunaazul1569i think for people, who really dislike talking to people or being a people’s person is better to work something with computers, technology, etc.
For the past few days I have been under so much pressure mentally because i literally didn’t know what I wanted to do with myself one minute I wanted to be a nurse, then my passion for it just fade I realize I wanted to do something where as yes I can cater to people but like you said it would be in a more colorful, peaceful environment where as I could be versatile, vulnerable and creative. I am about starting esthetician school and I am super duper excited for this journey of mines. I’m a week away from getting my lash certificate and I can’t wait to start learning how to do facials, skin assessment etc 😊
I am in the same boat! im currently a college student studying business admin with a marketing emphasis but i really have been feeling like I would hate working a corporate job no matter how much I want to like it. I want to be able to work directly with people and be creative, and I have been researching the beauty industry and I am definitely interested :)
Oh my goodness I identity myself with you guys so many of my initial thoughts about school and degrees have me disillusioned and idk I feel like this would be a right fit for me too
@@ahtziriaguirre1310 yeah I’m just worried about the money, like can I make a living and be secure with this job? I know it is better to own your own business though but still!
If this isn’t me! My entire life I thought I wanted to be a nurse; became a Phlebotomist and then a ER patient care tech then in the ICU. I cried because I realized the healthcare field isn’t for me and it broke my heart cause I’m like how do I help people.! Then realizing I need to be more free and creative and that’s where I stumbled upon Esthetics. I’ll be starting in April.
@@Salema.k me too! I'm starting in April and I'm 35. It's never too late. I'm sure you'll realize in the future that the skills you learned from your healthcare experience will be ridiculously helpful. Maybe you'll notice a skin condition that you'll be able to recognize and help advise someone to seek medical attention with something that could have been serious
I’m a licensed nail tech right now, and my dream/goal is to expand in the beauty industry and become a licensed esthetician. I’m passionate about all things skincare and I want to give people facials(first and foremost), later makeup, later eyelash tint…maybe not the extension or the waxing. I don’t have the financial means right now, but I want to prep for it in the future. I’m willing to learn it all and find my niche. Thank you for making this video. So glad I found you ♥️
I’m an RN of 8 years and plan to go back to school for Esthetics next year! So excited! This has been a passion of mine for YEARS! Thank you for this video!
hi im a second year nursing student and I want to be an esthetician someday, do i still need to finish this course like is it required or should I start taking esthetician classes?
@ if you’re wanting to be an esthetician, no you don’t need to be a nurse. But there are nurses injectors that require an RN. A lot of places, depending on your state, will train and certify you to become an injector as well!
I’m in college right now for public health, I switched to it because I thought I liked nursing but it wasn’t for me, so public health was the next thing, but I can’t see myself doing it after college, but esthetics, it’s a mix of beauty which I’ve been drawn to for a long time, but also applies the science a bit too. This video gave me clarity I need on what I want to do with my life. I was struggling so much mentally, I didn’t know what I was going to do in my future. I related so much to how you mentioned how you were growing up and I was the same way. This video gave me the clarity that esthetics was right for me. ❤
Thank you so much for this! I am a baby hairstylist who is wanting to switch careers and your videos have helped me know what to expect and what I’ll be doing/learning. Not sure when I’ll be making the switch and how I’ll do it but thank you so much for your advice!! 💛
Six minutes in and girl WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE I LITERALLY COULD NOT HANDLE IT !! I love that we have the same though process it’s really eye opening to me to start esthetician school, I talked to my counselor today and I had scheduled a tour for tomorrow !!
Thank you again Kristen. I’m a licensed cosmo/barber so I’m doing all that I can do to educate myself since I’m aiming more towards esthetics. I would to be able to say I’m an esthetician ❤️
I’ve been working with special needs adults for 12 years. I’ve applied Person Centered approaches to all my clients, multitasking and have become resilient. I’m in the process of taking my Theory for the second time. I’m waiting on my practical results but felt pretty good about it. Your channel is what inspired me and helped me evolve into the Beauty Industry. 💜💜💜
@@DreamDesireLove both! I have autism myself and would love to create an inclusive salon when I’m done studying! I have a degree in teaching and I have learned a lot in teaching special needs kids but I’d love to create an environment where special needs adults also can thrive as I know how hard it can be to go to a salon that fits our needs!
@@peanutbrittle99 that would be so amazing! Building an inclusive salon would open many opportunities to that population. I have worked with clients to help them in the homes, community and currently a job developer for them. There may be local agencies in your area that do that work. If you have your teaching license, perhaps you can open your own business someday :)
I’ve been in the medical field for 17 years… I started young, I’m so ready for a career change. I recently just applied to the cosmetology school for esthetician. I’m so excited!
I love love this video!! Thank you for sharing. All the points you emphasized resonated deeply with me and only strengthened my desire to become an esthetician! I am just now starting to apply to schools. I'm definitely subscribing to your channel and will also follow you on insta. Believe it or not I have been a nurse for many years, dealing with far too many bodily fluids and whatnot, and I just really need a career change and I believe that becoming an esthetician is perfect for me as I love helping people to feel, and look, their absolute best! Keep up the great work!!!
I am considering esthetics as a career and very excited and nervous to jump into something so new to me… After watching this video, I felt more reassured that I have the natural skills to become an esthetician. Thanks for sharing the knowledge Kristen! ❤
I don't think nursing just involves what you said in the video. Because, I would like to be an esthetician, but I am also a nursing student. So, I feel like this might help me get into the specialty I would like to do. But, other than that great video! 💕
What state are you in? Bc in CA I had to become a licensed esthetician to get my cosmetology license. I initially wanted to do hair but during school I realized I enjoyed the esthetics side a bit more. And now I’m looking into becoming an advanced aesthetician in Oregon to do non ablative treatments. Which unfortunately is no longer a thing in ca… we can’t do microdermabrasion/microneedling/ipls/ in ca. but in OR you can. I am licensed there as well. So I just need to put in more hours for my advanced. That’s why I’m curious as to what the laws are in your state.
I am a cosmetologist wanting to aim more towards esthetician. I would love to find out how to get some education as a refresher and more in depth training g to become a GREAT esthetician.
The candles and the hanging plant are giving fire hazard. It's aesthetic but please be careful!! I'm not trying to be a Karen, just genuinely looking out for your safety! I almost set my house on fire doing this as well.
I like most of your videos, except for this one. Just bc a person has an upbeat personality doesn't mean that they can't be an Esthetician. And not everyone has to sell products. Not every Esthetician is going to work at that type of setting.
Me personally I dont wanna do hair, I wanna make my own products and work for myself learning essential oils and all of that making my own business out of it all.
I’m 31 years old with 3 kids and idk if maybe I’m too old to start now making a switch to being a esthetician I know most of the women in the field are young and youthful so idk if I’m this would be a good fit for me and idk how people would feel having someone who has eczema doing their service
Right now I’m stuck between becoming an esthetician or a hairstylist, I have a passion for hair as well but I like skincare too don’t know what to do to make that decision.
Hi. I loved your video. I am looking to be an esthetician focusing on facials and anti-aging treatments etc. But I am a working mom and I need to be online for most of my classes. Where can you recommend I can do and get my clases to become one. Please help me I have tried and called almost everywhere. Thank you.
Hey Kristen I’m just curious how do I build my bar for product. I’m starting out or I’m solo. How do you get on board with product. We used Murad and it’s good but a lot of other people want something different
Hello I have a love for skincare and would like to build a brand. I would like to develop a product to sell, how would I go about getting started and no I have not been to school but I am considering for the end goal of having my own business and selling my own products. Where should I start?
More than anything this is what I want to do, but I am on my own and have to for to make a living. This has made any program impossible schedulewise while still making enough to live on. Plz pray I will find a way
Can a medical aesthetian or esthetician in general perform procedures like lasers, rf microneedling, PRP? Do you know any good school that has these integrated in the program?
I’m almost fresh out of highschool and I know I want to go into the beauty industry, especially working with facials and lashes but I’m sooo stuck on where to start..!!! I could use some tips if anyone has any.. 😬😊
Hello Kristen Marie, How and Where to apply for esthetician license in ontario? Can you please share the website or specific location where i can go for esthetician license.
Hello - I'm from Ontario aswell , and I looked into any college or local beauty bars - trillium college has a fast tract esthetician & spa operations certificate in 11 months instead of 2 years at a major name college 😊 , hope this helps - good luck!
I just watched your first time getting Botox/filler video. Did you continue getting the Botox and filler?? I am really considering both for similar reasons you did! 😊 Thanks!
Hi Kristen , my hubby and I want sell and make our own products both for skin and beard products. He works in the medical field but I’ve only worked in Behavioral health. With your knowledge and experience which certification would help build a solid brand? Thank you
The content is very enriching. I really liked it a lot. I am a Beautician and I work in something very different. I have submitted applications to several SPAs and so far I have not had a favorable response. I would like to have a more favorable CV, maybe that will help. I will be very grateful if you can help.

I love being an esthetician. However, I do NOT like Brazilian waxing.,,,,at all
Hello! Do you have a work and personality quiz you'd recommend?
Do you have to go to school or can you just take the test ?
Can a medical aesthetian or esthetician in general perform procedures like lasers, rf microneedling, PRP? Do you know any good school that has these integrated in the program?
I just paid full for this schooling and i regret it highly

Don’t want to be a cosmetologist but into skincare natural skincare products
It took 5 whole minutes to get to the point!
Do estics learn lashes
Too much yapping.... it actually starts at 5:10
The way u spoke about nurses in this video was so shallow lol Idk why u felt the need to bring it up and compare. Did u wanna be a nurse? But good info I guess
I think comparing was necessary and helpful. Otherwise I'd try to do something I wouldn't like.
She’s not being rude, she’s just telling the truth abt it
says this video is right to the point but talks ab bullshit for the first 5 mins
Exactly
I sent you a message on IG
