What Does An Aesthetician Do?
Aestheticians, or skincare specialists, cleanse and beautify the face and body to enhance a person’s appearance and feeling of well-being. Aestheticians give facials, upper-body treatments, and other skin care treatments such as masks, waxing and peels. Some may also provide head and neck massages to improve the health and appearance of the skin.
Additional duties and treatments may include:
- Evaluate clients’ skin condition and discuss available treatments
- Create daily skincare routines for clients
- Recommend/sell skin care products
- Teach and advise clients on how to apply makeup, and how to take care of their skin
- Remove unwanted hair, using wax, lasers, or other approved treatments
Many aestheticians who own and operate their own salon or spa will also have to manage all aspects of their business including employees, record keeping, inventory, advertising and fiscal responsibility.
