Education!

Did you know, the esthetics industry in BC is unregulated?

That's right...you can go to any salon and spa in BC and be treated by an esthetician who has NO formal training.  Education is not required to perform waxing, lash lifts, lash extensions, manicures, chemical peels or operate a laser. How scary is that?! It's on the client to investigate and find out if the esthetician is qualified and/or has received formal training. 

What can clients do to make sure they are being treated by a trained esthetician?
  • Before making an appointment, ask where your esthetician received their training, how many hours of training did they receive, how many years have they been in the industry, and don't be afraid to ask for certificates! Most estheticians will proudly display their certification in their treatment areas so that there is no cause for concern. If you don't see anything, ask!
  • Even if your esthetician is trained, for a service such as eyelash extensions make sure you do your research. Look for pictures online or on their Facebook page. Check out the reviews to see what you can expect in terms of quality of service. I have had several clients come to me needing their lashes fixed after botch jobs by "certified" lash techs - too much glue causing lashes to fall out, not separating lashes causing them to stick together, and so much more!

I was able to save this lady's remaining lashes, but you can see how many she has lost due to heavy lashes, applied with far too much glue, and not separated properly.

​Certification is not mandatory to work as an esthetician so do your due diligence and your own research when choosing where to get your esthetics services - this is your body and you don't want to ruin it!
