Dreaming of landing a job in a med spa? You’re not alone—and the path is closer than you think! Just ask Amanda, an NYIB graduate who turned her passion for skin health into an award-winning career. Today, she’s not only helping clients feel amazing in their own skin, but also teaching others how to thrive in this fast-growing industry. 

From Skin Struggles to Skin Solutions

Amanda’s story started with her own skin challenges. Instead of letting them hold her back, she used them as motivation. “I wanted to help others feel confident in their skin too,” she shares. That passion led her straight to NYIB, “where first a state board esthetics program and then advanced classes ”opened her eyes to the science behind real skin health.

It wasn’t just about creating a glow—it was about healing, restoring, and making a real difference in people’s lives. That’s when she knew: the med spa world was where she belonged. 

What Really Impresses Employers 

Here’s the inside scoop: med spa employers aren’t just looking for a résumé of treatments you can perform. What makes you shine is your commitment to learning and your personality. 

“The industry is always growing. Those who keep learning will always stand out,” Amanda says. And when it comes to client care? “You need to communicate and educate clients properly so they trust you. That trust is everything.” 

Her advice: practice those conversations in the student clinic, role-play with peers, and get comfortable talking to clients. Confidence is your secret weapon!

Landing your first med spa job is just the beginning. Amanda’s growth tips are gold: 

  • Say yes to every seminar or advanced class—knowledge is power. 
  • Make weekly plans—whether that’s upselling to clients or brainstorming ways to reach new ones. 
  • Stay humble and hungry—the best estheticians never stop learning. 

Her advice to her younger self? “Don’t think you know it all. Be humble, keep learning, and always push yourself to grow.”
