In this episode of Just a Beauty Therapist, I sit down with Ashlin Smith, beauty therapist, business owner, and founder of The Business of Skin.

Ashlin is known for helping therapists and clinic owners master one of the most overlooked but business defining skills in our industry: the consultation.

We take a deep dive into why consultations are the foundation of sustainable clinic growth, how shifting from information gathering to outcome led consults changes everything, and why clarity and structure before treatment even begins is the key to better compliance, stronger results, and long term client trust.

We explore the most common mistakes that keep clinics reactive instead of intentional, what strong consultation frameworks create from a business perspective, and how confident communication transforms not only client outcomes but therapist belief in their own expertise.

This conversation is for beauty therapists and clinic owners who know they deliver great treatments, but want clearer client journeys, stronger retention, and a consult process that finally supports the results they work so hard to achieve.

If you want your consults to feel calm, confident, structured, and aligned with real outcomes, this episode is for you.
