New Esthetician on a Budget

Mrs. B shares some of her Esthetician "Must-haves" from Amazon. Many times Estheticians are confused about where to start. As a licensed Esthetician of 11 years and an instructor for 7 years, I use my industry expertise and experience to provide business mentorship.

Many people feel comfortable with Amazon as a shopping resource. I wanted to compile a start-up list to help Estheticians all over the world. This is a great list for any Esthetician, especially a new graduate. If you are starting the journey of a solo Esthetician you must become knowledgeable and comfortable with identifying inventory and reoccurring cost. Even Estheticians who currently operate a private practice may find a treasure or two on the list. In our field there is always something new to learn or add to our protocols and treatment rooms. When you began, there will be certain supplies that will be needed in order to execute your facial and or waxing services. Starting on top of you inventory and supplies will be extremely important to business operation.


Sometimes starting a new Beauty and wellness business can be overwhelming. There are so many things to buy, so many brands and so many products. Although we may want "everything", that approach is not necessary to make a solid start. I have complied a must have list of fairly priced items to help condense your work load and research phase. Check out this awesome list of items below. Amazon has become one of the fastest growing online resource centers for professionals. Add these items to cart for now or later:)


Another great idea is to add these items to your wish list for holidays, birthdays, graduation, etc. In my opinion one of the greatest gifts to give an entrepreneur is an investment into their business. Do Not be afraid to ask your support system for help, especially if they offer their assistance. Sometimes we are looking for ways to promote self care and love, be sure to gift your business the things that will help you along your journey. Planning and execution are great but don't forget to budget your fiances. Adapting healthy financial practices will prepare your business for success. Good luck and well wishes. You Got this!
