West Coast Estheticians
This group is for all estheticians, from the central mountain states over to the pacific coast, Alaska and Hawaii. The goal is to connect share info, keep up on pending legislation and increase our knowledge as a profession. Ask anything!
What is an esthetician?
I have been asked so much what is an esthetician that I finally came up with this;
"An esthetician is a licensed professional who is an expert at improving and maintaining healthy skin."
Keys are healthy skin (scope of practice) and licensed. Getting a license is hard work, we should be proud of it.
How would you describe esthetician/aesthetician, skin care therapist (what ever title you use)?

I would agree with you, Susanne. The paths of expertise (i.e. science/chemical vs. homeopathic/natural) will always have distinct, fundamental ideas of how to "improve and maintain" but the outcome should always be the same; healthy skin.
Learning more about skin is always interesting and applicable. It is the one subject that both genders find a common interest. Seeing the outcome of a successful treatment and the positive, self-confidence that it triggers in our client is beyond rewarding!
