Professional Esthetics Starts in School

I can tell you if someone is going to conduct themselves professionally in their esthetics career by the way they conduct themselves in esthetics school. If you are in school now, you might know the offenders I am talking about (if you are one of them, please change your ways now). There is always one esthetics student who shows up to class without a uniform and expects credit for the day; there are some that try to bend the rules by wearing street shoes instead of professional esthetic shoes; some that insist on smoking before class; then there are the students that actually leave their cell phones on during client services; and then there are the ones that don't read the material and hope that everyone else will help them coast through the class. Come on esthetician students, you don't have four years like a traditional university to mold yourself into a professional, you need to conduct yourself like a professional on the first day of esthetics school. This isn't a dress rehearsal, you will have real, live customers and if you conduct yourself unprofessionally at school your bad habits will likely follow you to your new career. And another tid bit, your esthetics instructor certainly won't give you a glowing review!
