If you feel passionate about helping people look and feel their absolute best, why not make a lucrative career out of it? A career as a licensed esthetician can be an exciting and rewarding way to earn a living while serving as a trusted expert in skin care.
Part of an esthetician’s job is not just providing skin care services (such as facials, makeup application, and hair removal) to clients, but recommending and selling the right products to keep clients’ skin looking and feeling great. As part of the here at New York Institute of Beauty, students learn the ins and outs of choosing the right products for a wide range of skin types.
Benefits of Retail Products for the Client
When a client turns to an esthetician for a skin care service, they rely on the expert advice of the professional to address any skin issues or concerns they may have. Whether the client is unhappy with visible facial hair or enlarged pores, an experienced and knowledgeable esthetician can provide the services needed to address the problem.
Even after the services are completed, however, there are skin care products that may help the client maintain or further improve the appearance of their skin. From exfoliating facial scrubs to moisturizers, being able to rely on an esthetician for a product recommendation helps a client get the most of their service.
Benefits of Retail Sales for the Esthetician
Meanwhile, estheticians also benefit from retail sales as part of their jobs. For those working in salons, it is common for the salon or spa owner to offer a commission or percentage of each additional retail sale made. This can help to supplement an esthetician’s hourly pay or salary, generating additional income. Meanwhile, estheticians can feel good knowing that they are helping their clients maximize the results of their treatment.
