About this Occupation
Estheticians perform detained work with their hands and eyes. There is a focus on personal protective equipment that must be used in some circumstances, and high sanitation standards are essential. The work environment can be fast-paced, so self-motivation and strong time management skills are important. In addition, estheticians must be able to communicate in a professional manner, establish rapport with clients and colleagues, and maintain high standards for quality and customer service.
