You give facials and skincare treatments that keep clients' skin healthy, usually in a spa or your own room. Repeat clients on a monthly schedule are the bread and butter.

I love the freedom and the passion I have for it. I would only say to get started if your heart is 100% in it, otherwise other people will take your customers. You have to believe in what you are doing and how much it helps people. I would love if people in my industry had better access to insurance and benefits.
