Mary Kay

Is anyone using Mary Kay Products in their practice with clients? If so how are clients reacting to this?

I do not think that MK is a bad product, I just think it would make any professional look like an amateur ! I mean why would a pro carry something that Aunt Betsy the librarian could sell too ? Pros sell pro lines, not MLMs. There are so many great ones to choose from.....:)

I have to agree with Mary. We spent alot of time in  school trying to gain knowledge and experience that we can then despense to our clients in a professional manner that sets us apart from those without such training and then we want to offer products that reflect that expertise. Can you imagine going to the Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon and having them sell us products that we can get from "Aunt Betsy" on any corner.  Choose a line that reflects the direction you want to take your business and still meets the needs of your clients.

I would not recommend any licensed esthetician use a non-professional line such as Mary Kay or Avon in their practice. The reason esthetician's are licensed to use professional product lines is that they are more effective and it just makes sense that after our training and experience, we have the ability to recommend an effective product line. Anyone can go out and buy Mary Kay or Avon from any rep. The rep is usually not an esthetician, it would devalue what we provide in treatments and service. I would also never even use a line that you can buy in shops like Sephora- I don't believe a professional line should be sold in stores- your clients should come to you- their trusted skin care professional for their products, not the mall.

I went to a new hair stylist on Saturday.  This gentleman is a master colorist, and I needed a little color correction done.  I am satisfied with my color, however, I was REALLY turned off that I paid top dollar for a stylist who used Tresseme on my hair.  My first thought was "Oh NO he di'ent!"  Oh yes, he did.  It just brought DOWN my estimation of him as a stylist...

 

Something to think about.

Back in the day before I was licensed I used and sold Mary Kay, part of my reason for getting into skin care professionally. However, as a licensed professional, I would never even consider Mary Kay products or any other skin care product that was not professional for my business. That is not the direction I want to take my professional skin care practice. We have so many professional lines to choose from that provide the type of results I want and see my clients experience. I would think that if I went to have a professional service and paid the money to do so and they used products my neighbor was selling that I had been cheated some how.

yuck, yuck, yuck...you mean with your license and all the options open to you , all you have to offer your clients is what your bored-housewife-need-money-for-a-new-fridge can sell ? By the way, the profit is also pitiful...I have cleaned so many skins from the MK products, I feel like I need to send the company a thank you card for the "referrals". My advice is go to a trade show or even on line and do your homework. Good luck,

best,

Cora
