I was once told by someone that I need not worry about finding clients for my esthetic services because there are “always vain people out there”. Of course I would beg to differ with this point on many levels, first and foremost since I think that most people who seek esthetic services are just trying to look their best and that doesn’t mean that they are vain. I see part of my job as an esthetician as a way to help people look and feel their best. Just getting your eyebrows waxed and shaped can change a person’s appearance entirely. Why not invest in making your skin look great? Is that really so vain?
This whole idea of who seeks esthetic services and why ties into an article I read this week in The New York Times. The article is entitled Appreciating Your Value as You Age, and it is an interview with Drs.Vivian Diller and Jill Muir-Sukenick who just wrote a book called Face It: What Women Really Feel as Their Looks Change. (This post is about the article in The New York Times, not the book since I haven’t read the book yet) Drs. Diller and Muir-Sukenick are now psychotherapists but both used to model so they have an interesting perspective on the whole idea of how women perceive aging. (There is also a brief interview with the authors in the April issue of Allure but I couldn’t find the interview online)
Instead of paraphrasing the article I will instead just quote a part of it:
