October was a wild one. Between vacation, life lifing, and everything in between, it was a busy month. But we’re back and rolling with a spooky twist. In honor of Waxtober, I’m sharing some real-life beauty horror stories, the wax fails, facial freak-outs, and all the things that make every esthetician say, “Oh no, not again.” It’s funny, it’s real, and it’s a reminder that the beauty industry has its scary moments too.

We love our clients — but let’s be real, one of the biggest frustrations in the beauty industry is when they don’t listen. Whether it’s ignoring pre-care, skipping aftercare, or brushing off product recommendations, it can feel like we’re talking to a wall. In this episode, I’m keeping it honest about why estheticians push so hard for you to follow the “rules,” how it impacts your results when you don’t, and the emotional toll it takes when we’re only trying to help. If you’ve ever wondered why your estie sounds like a broken record, this one’s for you.

In this episode, Tina gets real about her journey into the beauty industry and what led her to become an esthetician. From balancing a full-time job while in school, to taking the leap into business ownership, Tina shares the highs, lows, and lessons learned along the way. This is the story behind the wax, raw, unfiltered, and full of inspiration for anyone chasing their own path.

Whether you’re an aspiring esthetician, a beauty pro, or just curious about the hustle behind the beauty, this one’s for you.
