Crickett Enos replied to Erica Estrada's discussion Arm Waxing in the group Wild World of Waxing"Sorry there is no magical way :) Not many people have their arms waxed, so that's a plus. Oh and depending on how you hold their arm, you might want to put some table paper in their lap just in case. "
Erica Estrada replied to Erica Estrada's discussion Arm Waxing in the group Wild World of Waxing"Thanks for your response. I guess it's just an awkward area."
Crickett Enos replied to Erica Estrada's discussion Arm Waxing in the group Wild World of Waxing"Hey Erica,

Juliette Zweig replied to Erica Estrada's discussion Importance of finding your niche in the group Business Women Tips & Wisdom"Hi Erica,
I feel it is important to set yourself apart from what everyone else is doing. I try to do my own creative thing and not follow the crowd. I don’t use the words wellness, and anti-aging. I feel those words are not…"

Importance of finding your niche
I started off as an esthetician working as an employee in a spa. Did that for 3 years felt over worked and under paid. So I took a break and am now getting back into the profession as an independent contractor trying to rebuild my business. So far it has been a struggle. My question is, is it better to specialize in one certain aspect of skincare ie anti aging or acne or hyperpigmentation or know a little about every thing? I just feel like I need to find my niche. I love waxing and helping…See More

Crickett Enos replied to Erica Estrada's discussion Need more waxing clients?! in the group Wild World of Waxing"Hey Erica,
Friends and family are a good place to start. Do you work in a salon with other technicians (stylists, manicurists, massage therapists)? If so, when you aren't busy with client's make yourself visible to the…"
