I'm starting esti school soon

#letschat #lemon8contest

I'm so excited to start school and change careers! I've been in the dental industry for 8 years. I'm trying to set myself up to be able to work for myself someday!

but I'm also nervous about taking these loans out just because I've never had a loan before!

do you think it was worth it to invest in your schooling in the long run? are you happy lol 😭

any estheticians out there able to give some advice?

2025/4/2 Edited to

As I prepare to start esthetician school, I'm curious about the investment in education and whether it's a wise decision. Many aspiring estheticians share similar concerns about student loans and the financial commitment involved in schooling. It's crucial to consider the potential return on investment— both financially and personally. Esthetics is a growing field, and many graduates find rewarding careers in beauty and skincare. Additionally, networking with others in the industry can lead to opportunities that may ease the burden of student debt. It's also beneficial to connect with experienced estheticians for insights on career satisfaction, job stability, and the skills necessary for success. Sharing experiences about the challenges and rewards of the esthetic path can help alleviate fears for those considering this transformative journey.

I love that you're asking questions about this before you start. I know everyone is saying get grants. See if they will pay you to attend their school.

You can look into grants. I did that as well as took out a loan. It was definitely worth it and helped increase my salary.

A female esthetician in a grey uniform takes a mirror selfie in a treatment room, with skincare products visible on shelves in the background. Text overlays discuss things esthetician school didn't prepare her for as a licensed esthetician.

An esthetician's hand holds two small brown vials of 'The Perfect Derma Peel' product, with a client's face blurred in the background. Text discusses how running a business is harder than treatments, involving marketing, bookkeeping, and taxes.

A client receives a facial treatment under a blue LED light, with eye protection on. Text overlays state, "You're not going to be everyone's cup of tea (And that's okay)" and discusses providing a comfortable environment.
