TIL some spas cut corners on sanitization between clients.

This risks EVERYONE'S health and can ruin your reputation.

That time a lash tint appointment dragged on for ages

Honestly, I had a client book a lash tint and it just would not set. Tbh, I followed the timing exactly but her lashes soaked up the dye so slow. Ngl, we waited like twenty extra minutes just staring at the clock. I started to worry I mixed something wrong but it was all by the book. Finally it took, but my whole afternoon schedule got pushed back. Has anyone else had a treatment that took forever to work?

My oatmeal mask experiment led to a skincare win.

It soothes redness much better than I expected.

The rush for instant glow is a BIG problem in our field

I had a client come in after using a harsh at-home peel from a social media trend. Her skin was red and raw for over a month. This NEEDS to stop because it damages trust in our work. We have to push back against these quick fixes. Proper care takes time, and that's a fact.

During a BUSY day, a client's friend called to JOIN their facial last minute. The spa was FULL, so I had to say NO. Awkward VIBES.

My strict schedule for client extractions changed after a workshop

Seeing how less frequent sessions improved skin repair made me adjust my approach.
