    Episode 6: Finding Your Brand Voice- Sound Like Yourself, Not the Algorithm.

    If your captions sound like every other esthetician on the internet, this episode is going to hit home. Today we’re digging into what it actually means to have a brand voice, why authenticity always sells, and how sounding like yourself is the fastest way to stand out in a crowded industry. Whether you’re writing captions, emails, or service descriptions, your voice is the part that creates connection. And when people feel connected to you, they book with you! If you want your marketing to finally feel natural instead of forced, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you’ve been missing.

    Episode 5: Beauty School Didn't Teach This with Shunashy Jimenez, L.E.

    In this episode, I sit down with my friend and former co-instructor Shunashy Jimenez. We taught together at the Academy of Beauty and now work side-by-side at Elite Cosmetology School in Los Angeles (she’s the Lead Instructor, I’m the Director of Marketing.) We talked about her journey through beauty school as a student, what it’s like to be an educator now, and the things she wishes more estheticians knew before entering the industry. If you’re in school, just graduated, or thinking about teaching one day- this one’s for you!

    Episode 4: Beauty School Drop-Off

    In this episode, we’re talking about that awkward space between graduation and real life- the part no one warned you about. You’ve got your license, maybe a cute treatment room, and... no idea what comes next. If beauty school left you with more questions than answers, you’re not alone. We’ll unpack the gaps in your education, why so many estheticians feel unprepared, and what you actually need to build a real career. Whether you’re fresh out of school or still wondering why your license hasn’t magically turned into a steady income, this one’s for you. Let’s break down the missing pieces and start building something solid!

    Episode 3: Client Experience – How to Keep Clients Coming Back

    In this episode, we’re getting real about what actually keeps clients coming back. Great results are important, but the experience is what builds loyalty! We’re talking active listening, remembering tiny details, how you follow up, and the moments in between services that most estheticians overlook. If your retention is low or you’re constantly chasing new clients, this episode is for you!

    Episode 2: Tariffs & Financial Stability: How to Build a Business That Can Withstand Economic Shifts

    Let’s talk about something we don’t always hear enough about in the beauty industry—how larger economic shifts, like new tariffs, can trickle down and affect your business behind the treatment room door. In this episode of Beyond Beauty School, I’m breaking down what tariffs actually are (in plain language), how they could impact product costs, client behavior, and your bottom line. And most importantly, what you can do right now to protect your business from financial instability. Because the truth is, facials and skincare are often the first things people cut when money gets tight. But when you’ve built a strong foundation,one that includes retention strategies, revenue diversity, and smart client communication- you can ride the waves without burning out or starting over. If you’ve ever worried about what might happen to your business during a downturn, this episode will help you feel more prepared, more empowered, and more in control.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, underprepared, or like you’re missing a roadmap for building a successful career in esthetics… you’re not alone.
