Thinking about becoming an esthetician? It’s an exciting career, to be sure, but it’s important to be sure it’s the right fit for you.
Here’s a sample of what esthetician reviewers said when asked, “What is the one thing you wish you knew before earning this certification?” (From Indeed job search website.)
· “I wish I had done more research on schools and what it takes to grow in the esthetics industry.”
· “It’s hard, but with practice it becomes second nature.”
· “I wish I’d completed this certification sooner in my career.”
· “I wish I knew how much I’d love it.”

I need to get my name out and get better at what I do.”
· “It’s a very competitive job market with many talented men and women in this field.”
