October 22, 2025 The ChatGPT Aesthetician with Elizabeth Brasher & Lonice Stoker
Connect with us via text!
When clients upload selfies to chatbots for “diagnoses,” we see how fast advice can outrun assessment, and why real results still come from trained eyes and hands. In this episode, our in-house aestheticians unpack the rise of ChatGPT use for skin care advice, including what it gets right, where its blind spots are, and the potential detriment to skin when using Chat GPT-recommended routines. Sit down with the team as we walk through the industry’s shift towards AI-inclusion, the hidden water cost of server farms, and comparing virtual consults to bots. Ready to protect your clients' barriers with smart, human-led care? Follow the show, share it with an esty bestie, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us.

August 21, 2025 What's the Deal with Male Aesthetics? with Elizabeth, Lauren, & Lonice
Connect with us via text!
John Travolta’s recent appearance at a Grease singalong sparked buzz not just for the nostalgia, but for how incredible he looked at 71. His transformation points to a larger trend: more men are embracing aesthetic treatments, from skin care to injectables, to maintain a youthful edge. In this episode, we dig into why men are investing in these procedures, the stigma that still surrounds them, and how shifting ideas of masculinity are reshaping the conversation around beauty and aging. From celebrity influence to men’s most sought after treatments, we’ll break down what this means for both professionals in the industry and male clients looking for confidence, career advantages, or simply to feel their best.
