Esthetician

 
Background
An esthetician is a skincare specialist who helps clients look and feel their best by treating their skin. You'll perform facials, apply skincare products, remove unwanted hair through waxing or threading, and give advice on how to care for different skin types. You'll spend your day working one-on-one with clients in a salon, spa, or clinic, using your knowledge of skin health and beauty techniques.
