How To Begin Your Aesthetics Career

Whether you are in school or just graduated, starting your career as an aesthetician can be challenging. There are so many paths you can take as a licensed aesthetician or skincare specialist, but where do you start? How do you build your resume? A lot of things revolve around the practice, experience, and skills. Here are some important things that you should consider while taking those first steps towards a new career.

  1. Portfolios
Portfolios are extremely important to prove yourself. Online portfolios have become increasingly important to showcase skills as an aesthetician. Include before and after pictures of your school projects or friends and family. They are a great way to build a visual proof of talent. Also, several school programs have started to include a Pinterest portfolio and online presence. This is an important element for job applications as potential employers would want to know your capability.
  1. Internships
One of the great ways to gain experience would be interning at a spa. It may seem quite conventional but still popularly practiced. Just remember to learn the internship laws at your state as they vary from place to place. You can even intern after you have finished your graduation. So many aestheticians have practiced under a master to work their way to the top. You may also intern with manufacturers and education providers as these can easily turn into careers. Internship helps you get more in-depth training and knowledge in a narrower field.
  1. Practice
Regular practice is the key to success. Practice as much as you can, grab every opportunity that you get. Try to get real-life experience and market yourself. Local school and teenage events are a great chance to practice your beauty skills and get some social media pictures for your portfolio. Use these events to ask for references ton know how you performed. Focus on punctuality, professionalism, appearance and not just on the finished outcome. Try to show your soft skills whenever possible. Make sure to always perform the services by book and exactly as you have been trained.

When it comes to skincare jobs, the employers are mainly searching for yours, the aestheticians. You are the product that the employers are buying into. So make sure to develop the desired skills and experience.
