I鈥檝e been in the Esthetics Intro Phase about three months, getting down to the basics of facials, skin analysis, learning about skin disorders and diseases, and about the pressure points of the face and body. I always thought that esthetics was only about facials. I never even thought waxing was involved until I first went on my admission鈥檚 tour where they explained to me what I would be learning.
Now that I鈥檝e absorbed and learned all the basics, it was time to move on up to the Alpha Phase鈥攖he Spa Experience Floor. There, I get to work on real clients instead of just doing practice facials on fellow students in class. I remember the first day on the spa experience floor鈥攅veryone was just everywhere: nervous, scared, anxious, and excited. But, eventually, we all nailed it and got everything down.
By this phase, you鈥檒l get to find out what your weaknesses and strengths are. You鈥檒l also find out what you like doing best. So far, I love doing facials because I get to make someone鈥檚 day better and also help make their skin look healthier. It鈥檚 just an amazing feeling. I also like waxing, especially legs and arms. I still need more practice waxing eyebrows though. Waxing eyebrows can be a bit tricky depending on the amount of hair and the desired shape. Soon enough, I鈥檒l nail that one too with more practice. Thank god I haven鈥檛 waxed off all the hairs on someone鈥檚 brows yet!
Choosing to attend Cinta Aveda has been the best decision I鈥檝e made in my entire life. And if I had the chance to change my past educational experiences, I鈥檇 make going to Cinta Aveda my first choice.
