In this week’s Estheticians in Business podcast, Allyson gets laser-focused on one of the most profitable (and overlooked) parts of running a solo esthetician business — client retention. Pulling from real questions inside her six-week intensive, she shares her First Visit Framework to turn new guests into loyal, repeat clients who fill your books month after month.
