    Just Remake the Matcha: What Every Esthetician Can Learn About Customer Service

    Sometimes the biggest lessons in business come from being the customer. In this episode, I'm sharing two experiences my family had while we were out over the weekend—one at a coffee shop and one at a restaurant—and why both completely changed whether I'd return. The lesson? Sometimes it's not the mistake that loses a client. It's how you respond to it. Whether it's a client who isn't happy with a service, has a reaction to a product, or simply asks for something a little different, your response can determine whether they become a loyal client or leave a review that keeps future clients away. Why customer service matters more than getting everything perfectThe hidden cost of becoming defensive instead of listeningWhen it's worth losing a little money to keep a client happyHow one bad experience can influence dozens of future clientsWhy reviews matter more than ever for local businessesThe importance of considering reasonable client requests before immediately saying noOne of my favorite reminders from this episode: Sometimes it's worth remaking the matcha. Not because the customer is always right, but because protecting your reputation, your reviews, and your client relationships is often worth far more than the cost of fixing a mistake. If you've ever wondered how to handle difficult client situations without damaging your business, this episode is for you. 🤍 Enjoyed this episode?

    The Habits That Made Me a Six-Figure Solo Esthetician

    How do you build a six-figure solo esthetics business? Was it luck? A huge Instagram following? Knowing the right people? Not even close. In this episode of Estheticians in Business, Allyson shares the real habits that helped her grow a six-figure solo esthetics business in less than 18 months after moving to a new city where she knew almost no one. These weren't flashy marketing hacks or overnight success stories. They were simple, repeatable habits that she practiced consistently until they became part of how she ran her business every day. • Why treating your business like it's already successful changes everything • How talking about your business every day creates more opportunities • The follow-up habit that generated thousands of dollars • Why asking clients to rebook, upgrade, refer friends, and purchase retail isn't pushy • The importance of learning business, marketing, sales, and communication—not just esthetics • Why successful business owners don't quit every time something doesn't work • How protecting your mindset helps you stay focused on your own goals • Why relationships are more valuable than chasing the algorithm • The power of consistency over perfection • What building a six-figure business actually looked like behind the scenes One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is that success rarely comes from one big moment. It's built through small, consistent actions repeated over and over again. The estheticians who continue showing up, learning, following up, building relationships, and improving their business are often the ones who create long-term success. In this episode, Allyson shares the eight habits that made the biggest impact on her business: ✨ Treat your business like it's already successful. ✨ Talk about your business every day. ✨ Follow up consistently. ✨ Ask for the booking, rebooking, retail sale, referral, or upgrade. ✨ Continue learning beyond esthetics. ✨ Don't quit just because one strategy doesn't work. ✨ Protect your mindset and stop comparing yourself to others. ✨ Build genuine relationships with clients and your community.

    The Mental Blocks Keeping You Stuck in Business

    ✨ ⁠Estheticians in Business Membership⁠ If you're looking for ongoing business coaching, marketing support, practical trainings, and a community of solo estheticians who are growing together, the Estheticians in Business Membership was built for you. Use code PODCAST to save $15 on your first month. If you've ever thought... "I'm not ready." "What if people judge me?" "I don't want to bother people." "Maybe I'll do it when I have more clients." This episode is for you. In this episode of Estheticians in Business, Allyson shares a coaching conversation that inspired this topic and explains why so many business struggles aren't actually marketing problems or pricing problems. They're mental blocks that keep us from taking the actions we already know we need to take. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you know what to do but just can't seem to do it, this episode will help you identify what's holding you back and how to move forward. • Why mental blocks often look like marketing or client problems • The truth about waiting until you're "ready" • Why confidence is built through action, not before it • How to stop worrying about being judged online • Why marketing is reminding people you exist, not bothering them • Learning to hear "no" without taking it personally • Why comparing yourself to other estheticians keeps you stuck • The mindset that delays growth by saying, "I'll do it when..." • Why you don't control your clients' wallets • The one question that can help you uncover what's really holding you back One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is that every level of business comes with new fears. Successful business owners aren't fearless—they've learned how to take action even when fear is present. Confidence doesn't come first. Action does. Ask yourself: What do I already know I should be doing, but I'm avoiding because of fear? That's your next step. Not another certification. Not another course. That one thing you've been avoiding. ✨ Estheticians in Business Membership If you're looking for ongoing business coaching, marketing support, practical trainings, and a community of solo estheticians who are growing together, the Estheticians in Business Membership was built for you.

    Resources & Links: ⁠Join the Estheticians in Business Membership⁠ Follow me on Instagram: @estheticiansinbusiness ⁠Join the Estheticians in Business Facebook Community⁠ Your Next 90 Days Could Change Everything Most solo estheticians don't struggle because they aren't working hard.
