Things You Should Never Say to Someone As You're Giving Them a Facial

1. "well, the skincare line you have been using is clearly not effective"

2.
(her)"do you want me to wax your upper lip?"
(me): "no"
(her): "are you sure?
(me): "yes"
(her):"it looks like you could really use it"

3. "The pores on your chin are HUGE"

4.
(her):"looks like you have some scarring on your chin"
(me);"yeah, I know. It's from a car accident"
(her):"and it's causing some dimpling..."
(me) "yeah"
(her) "there are products that can help with that"
(me) "no thanks"
(her) "ok, but it's REALLY noticeable, so..."

5.
(me) "so are you an esthetician?"
(her) "no, I just kind of taught myself"

I was going to say something about those pores on your chin.....
What a weirdo, who says all that stuff?? well, i guess someone who is self-taught probably missed the class where they taught about not making your clients feel like crap.

What a beeyotch!~ I want to go give her a piece of my mind. PS The only facial I've ever had in my life the esthetician said that unless upper lip or chin fuzz was dark, it was dumb to wax it. And she was an actual pro and would have made extra $$ off me but for her honesty. I'm sorry you had to endure this farm league witch's idiocy.

B*tch. That's all I have to say about that. Oh and that I have known a few estheticians in my day and they all seem to have a serious hair-phobia. SERIOUS. An aversion really. Again, that's all I'm going to say about that.

I usually have conversations like that when I'm getting a pedicure at one of those Asian places. "You want foot scrub? Five Dollar more?" No, thanks. "Your feet are very dry. Not sexy. You want eyebrow wax?" Nope. "You sure? You need eyebrow wax. You pregnant?" Nope. Not pregnant. But I do have 3 kids. "Oh, you look so pregnant."

I get asked at least once a day if I've been punched in the face because of the chronic dark circles under my eyes. It's really good for the confidence--"Whoa, did you get the crapped kicked out of you?" "No. Why?" "Oh, you just look like...nevermind..."
Don't sweat it.

Hi Lisa! Don't go back to that ho bag

Did she offer to wax your nose hairs? How does one work as an esthetician if they are "self taught" ?
