An education at The Salon Professional Academy (TSPA) leads you to many fun and exciting career possibilities. Graduating from an esthetics school opens up various career opportunities in the skincare and beauty industry. Here are some potential jobs you could pursue.

1. Esthetician: As a licensed esthetician, you can work in spas, salons, wellness centers, or dermatology clinics. Estheticians specialize in skincare treatments such as facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, waxing, and body treatments. They assess clients’ skin conditions and recommend appropriate skincare regimens.
2. Medical Esthetician: Some estheticians choose to specialize in medical esthetics, working alongside dermatologists or plastic surgeons. They may perform advanced treatments or assist with pre and post-operative skin care for patients undergoing cosmetic procedures.
3. Spa or Salon Manager: With experience, you could advance into a management role, overseeing the daily operations of spa, salon, or skincare clinic. Spa managers are responsible for staff supervision, scheduling, inventory management, customer service, and ensuring the facility meets regulatory standards.
4. Retail Skincare Specialist: Many skincare brands hire estheticians to work as retail specialists or beauty advisors. In this role, you would educate customers about skincare products, recommend personalized skincare routines, and help them select products tailored to their skin type and concerns.
5. Makeup/Wedding Artist: Estheticians often receive training in makeup application as part of their coursework. You could work as a makeup artist in various settings, including bridal boutiques, and beauty counters, or as a freelance artist for special events, photoshoots, or film and television productions.
6. Education and Training: If you enjoy teaching, you could become an esthetics instructor at a beauty school or vocational institution. Esthetics educators train future estheticians, delivering classroom instruction, hands-on demonstrations, and supervised practical training sessions.
7. Product Development and Sales: Estheticians with a passion for skincare ingredients and formulations may pursue careers in product development or sales. You could work for skincare companies, assisting with product research and development, marketing, or sales initiatives targeting professionals or consumers.
8. Medical Spa/Sales Coordinator: In a medical spa setting, you could work as a coordinator or liaison between clients and medical professionals. Responsibilities may include scheduling appointments, conducting consultations, explaining treatment options, and ensuring that clients receive personalized care throughout their visit.
9. Wellness or Holistic Esthetician: Some estheticians specialize in holistic skincare practices or wellness-focused treatments, incorporating techniques such as aromatherapy, herbal remedies, or energy work into their services. They may work in alternative health centers, wellness retreats, or offer mobile services to clients seeking holistic skincare solutions.
10. Beauty Blogger/Influencer: With the rise of social media, many skincare enthusiasts have built successful careers as bloggers or influencers. You could create content around beauty tips, tutorials, product reviews, and more, partnering with brands for sponsored content.
11. Waxing Specialist: A waxing specialist, also known as a waxing technician or waxer, is a professional trained in the art of hair removal using waxing techniques. Their primary responsibility is to provide hair removal services to clients, typically using either soft wax (strip wax) or hard wax (no-strip wax) depending on the area being treated and the client’s preferences.

These are just a few examples, and there are many other niche areas and career paths within the esthetics industry to explore based on your interests, skills, and professional goals.
