If you’ve ever sat in your treatment room between clients, staring at your phone thinking, “I know I need to post… but what do I even say?” Welcome to being an esthetician. You’re not just providing services — you’re running an entire business. You’re the CEO, the content creator, the brand manager, the photographer, the sales team, and sometimes even the receptionist.

After moving to the U.S. in the 1980s, Olga struggled with severe rosacea. Conventional skincare only made her skin worse. Over time, she realized the culprit wasn’t the active ingredients but common chemical emulsifiers  found in most formulas, which disrupted her skin barrier. Determined to find a solution, sh

A Smith & Crawford Guide for Estheticians Who Want a Website That Actually Converts If you’re an esthetician getting ready to build (or glow-up) your website in 2025… pause that Wix tab for one hot second.

While other brands embraced the rise of the internet, modernized their systems, and evolved with consumer behavior, Kmart stayed comfortable. They didn’t innovate. They didn’t take technology seriously. They held onto the

When I first decided to go solo, I thought I had it all figured out. I came from a background managing a dental office, where I excelled at marketing and bringing people in the door. I knew grassroots strategies—passing out flyers, handing out business cards, hustling like a beast—and social media? That was my playground. I even worked with influencers and had a strong blog following. I thought I had the secret formula. But here’s the thing: fortune is in the follow-up. And t
