I hate retailing. You’ve said it, we’ve said it.

And, in this episode we reframe “selling” as finishing the service.

We cover how to talk through products during the consultation and treatment, fill gaps in a client’s routine, match recs to budget and season, and follow up without pressure.

You’ll leave with simple scripts, a barrier-first mindset, and an easy path to better results and repeat bookings.

Menopause changes skin: less estrogen means less collagen and elastin, thinner barrier, more dryness, sensitivity, hyperpigmentation, and even acne.

In this episode, we break down what to watch for in perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, how to ask the right intake questions, and how to adjust services without over-treating. We cover low- to medium-intensity options (hydration first, gentler exfoliation, LED, microcurrent), ingredient swaps (bakuchiol for retinol, PHA for AHA, niacinamide, ceramides, panthenol, aloe), and waxing precautions for fragile skin.

Clear steps you can use this week to keep mature clients comfortable and getting results.

Ever had a client say, “I’m doing everything right… so why is my skin freaking out?” In this episode, we talk about how food, hydration, and lifestyle choices can quietly support or sabotage skin health. We’re not giving nutrition advice or telling you what to prescribe, but we walk through what you can gently flag so clients can follow up with a doctor or dietitian.

We get into:

• How hydration really impacts the skin (and why “drink more water” needs context)
• Key nutrients linked to collagen, repair, and glow (vitamin C, A, E, zinc, selenium)
• Healthy fats, protein, and smart snacking for better barrier function
• Foods and habits that can worsen breakouts, redness, and premature aging
• Why perimenopause, stress, sugar, dairy, and alcohol can suddenly show up on the face
• How to talk about nutrition inside your scope and refer clients out

By the end, you’ll have practical language you can use in the treatment room to connect the dots between skincare, lifestyle, and realistic results.

If you’re a solo esthetician who dreads content, this one’s for you. We sit down with Christian Ochoa (Digital Content Manager, Tuel Skincare & Berodin Wax) and Chrissy Roberts (Community Manager, Tuel & Berodin) to break down what actually moves the needle on Instagram, without a content team.

We cover where to start (pick one platform), how to post when you “hate being on camera,” simple formats that convert (BTS, progress pics, voiceovers, carousels), and why engaging like a human beats chasing every trend.

We also talk comfort zones, imposter syndrome, and the mantra: done is better than perfect. This is Part 1—Part 2 drops in two weeks.

What we cover:

• The one-platform rule (and how to repurpose later)
• Non-face content ideas: hands-only demos, client progress, voiceovers
• Engagement that attracts local clients (comments > heart emojis)
• Showing your space & vibe so clients feel safe booking
• Easy posting cadence you can keep up with

Ever feel like there's an unspoken expectation that estheticians should have “perfect” skin? What do you do when yours doesn’t cooperate?

We dig into why breakouts happen (stress, hormones, sleep, gut health), how to treat your own skin like a client (intake, plan, consistency), and when to tag in another pro or a derm. We share simple ways to talk about texture with clients, document your journey as content (without showing your face if you’re not ready), and use honesty to build trust... not hide. If you’ve ever worried clients won’t take you seriously because of a cystic flare-up, this one’s for you.

We're breaking down how to get discovered by the right clients, without becoming a full-time marketer. We cover why “visibility” isn’t enough anymore and how hyper-targeted content (written like it’s for one person in one place) wins.

We talk Instagram’s new Google indexing, service & location pages, writing captions that match real searches, and simple ways to answer client questions with carousels, Reels, blogs, or FAQs.
