Hi all!

I'm a licensed esthi currently employed fulltime at a medispa that uses CBI for backbar and sells mainly neocutis products and cbi private label...

I like the cbi products but think they are really ugly, and i love the neocutis products but think they are much too pricey (I basically suggest my clients use our private label cleanser, toner, peptide cream and supplement with obagi c serum, retin-a, and neocutis eye cream and bio-serum depending on their concerns...but i'm rambling)

I have a home setup and am currently trying to build my own clientele and my question to you, as i am new at this side of the industry, is re: whether I should just order cbi backbar for myself as well next time we place our order or whether i should really go for a "branded" experience with something culty like lira (which i *do* like- a number of friends have sworn by it changing their skin and the ingredients are good, though their customer service has been pretty crappy and i can't seem to find actual science about their claims) or if i should order ayur-medic because they have a matching program where they match your first 400 dollars spent on backbar with 400 dollars of comped retail products...

I'm leaning towards the ayur-medic and then cherry picking some stuff via my ability to get doctor's only brands through work to sell as well, but guess i'd love some feedback.

i'm an overthinker- it makes me a really good esthi in a lot of ways, but also means i have a hard time "jumping in"- i guess no line is perfect? help? haha

thanks!
