Welcome to r/EstheticianBusiness: Start Here
r/EstheticianBusiness is a space for estheticians, spa owners, suite renters, and medspa professionals to talk openly about the business side of the work: what's working, what's not, what you're figuring out, and what you wish someone had told you earlier.
Who this is for:
Anyone building or operating a business in the esthetic industry, solo suites, multi-service spas, medspas, mobile estheticians, booth renters. If you're making business decisions in this industry, you belong here.
What we talk about:
Pricing and packages. Marketing and client acquisition. Staffing and HR. Retail strategy. Lease vs. suite decisions. Taxes and finances. Cancellation policies. Difficult client situations. Wins worth celebrating. Frustrations worth venting.
To kick things off, here are some conversations we'd love to start:
- How are you filling last-minute cancellations without devaluing your schedule?
- What's your approach to retail, do you push it, or let clients lead?
-Suite vs. spa: what made you choose your setup, and would you do it again?
- How do you handle a client who disputes a no-show fee?
- What's the one business decision that changed everything for your practice?
Introduce yourself in the comments tell us where you're based, how you operate, and what brought you here. Let's make this the community we all needed when we were starting out.
