At a glance: 5 tips for choosing a good beautician

When you choose a beautician, you are looking for a specialist who would meet your specific criteria and individual needs. But how do you know if this esthetician is right for you?

First option – trial and error method. To understand whether a specialist is right for you, you can only go through at least one procedure. It's great if a beautician, spa or clinic has its own website where you can find information and reviews about it, the services offered and the line of cosmetics where the procedures are performed, and ideally – and the cost of these services. Based on this, it will be fairly easy for you to decide on the first visit.

And on the basis of what can you draw a conclusion about a specialist at the first visit?

• Sterile room – 1 sign of a good beautician
• A neat appearance – 2 is a sign of a good beautician
• Specialist awareness, ease of communication and quality cosmetics

Sterile room – 1 sign of a good beautician 

The cosmetologist's office should be sterile, relatively spacious, with a well-thought-out arrangement of furniture and devices, and a comfortable temperature.

The last point is especially important, because you are unlikely to be able to relax in a cluttered or cluttered environment, where it is too cool or too hot. It is good if the office has certificates or diplomas confirming the qualifications of a specialist. But most importantly, pay attention to whether there are UV sterilization lamps in this booth, which should work before and after receiving clients.

A neat appearance – 2 is a sign of a good beautician 

Not to be confused with the form, although it should look the same. We are talking about the skin of the specialist himself. Clean and healthy facial skin is an indicator of the professionalism of an esthetician, his calling card and outdoor advertising. Pay attention to the hands of a specialist. 

Skin should be smooth and well-groomed, nails – cut short, because long or false nails do not give the specialist a sense of whether he is doing everything right.

Hairstyle must be appropriate - hair tied up or covered with medical cap. Specialist awareness, ease of communication and  quality cosmetics

A good beautician should be aware of the latest procedures and services, preparations and devices. But do not think that he should be able to conduct them. When you receive counseling, the answers must be reasonable and complete.

If you decide to have the procedure, the beautician must sign an information agreement with you regarding the procedure. This is especially important when performing injection facial correction.

The key element of the relationship between a specialist and a client is trust. If the beautician is contactable and friendly, it will be easy for you to relax and trust him completely. The ability to properly communicate with clients is one of the most important features of a professional. The cosmetologist must have a high level of empathy and at the same time feel the personal boundaries of clients.
