These tips are useful, thank you! As a young esthetician (21), I feel like I really need to go that extra mile & not do the bare minimum. Especially when I have older clients that might not take me seriously just because I’m younger.

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

I know how you feel. I was the youngest in my class 40 years ago..... go for it Christa:)

[@EmmaDonado]

yes! I’m 18 currently in class as a student esthetician and I totally feel you

[@LuvableAF]

Lol I’m the oldest and have been into skin for 34 years, and not sure if I’ll pass because my young teacher rides my ass over my analysis and other things …like if someone says they have dry skin, but it’s actually combo oily, why would I treat her for dry skin? If that’s the Esthetics way, and not micromanaging the old lady,, and I pass this course, I’ll be changing some things when I go solo.

[@serenabuckley]

A very helpful video, thank you! Would love to see a video of you doing several skin analysis close up and explaining what it is your seeing, determining skin type & how you come to your conclusions etc

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

Yes, those classes are coming in the future:))

[@stephanielingenfelter8207]

I appreciate the quality of your videos and the level of quality service you set as a standard.

[@fatimaavila8150]

Your videos are always super helpful , it’s good to hear these dos and don’t from someone how’s been in the profession for so long 💜

[@considerthis410]

I work at a Forbes Hotel and we have to call them by their last name 3 times, ask about if they are comfortable, ask if the music is OK, do the consultation before the first cleanse and analyze the skin. Then we do the cleanse.

I came across your info and I absolutely enjoy it. plus, It certainly has improved my skills. I admire your intensive knowledge, your experience and mostly your desire to share it and pass it forward. thank you💋😘👍

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

Thank you SO much for your beautiful words:))

[@Mezzie1957]

I never asked for my guest to add a upgrade, but I do know often times management will push very hard on aestheticians to upsell a treatment and it makes me really uncomfortable doing that. I wish more spa owners understood that.

[@ainsleyspencer4555]

Excellent information thanks it's good been in an industry among experts like you.

Hoo very useful video thanks mam

[@ES-jl5br]

I am currently in school to become an esthetician- your videos are so helpful and informational! I keep taking notes when watching these videos for reference. Nerida, you are great! Thank you for being an outlet I can come to as a prospect esthetician. Will you ever be coming to Washington state? If so I would love to come to a analysis class as someone else commented below.

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

Yes, I am going to make that happen..... Thank YOU Erin:))

[@devon.pfeifer]

Nerida! This is such an important video!! Thank you so much for addressing this! I have a question though. The Hotel Bel-Air is a little different than say a doctor’s office, or even a regular day spa... when you are meeting a client for the first time, do you ever sit down with them and go over a consultation form with them, say, to discuss concerns, allergies, past cosmetic procedures, or medications? This is something I like doing before they are even on the table, and I wanted to hear your thoughts.

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

Yes, absolutely. There are less then 60, 5 star spa's in the world, and I am fortunate enough to work at one of them. That being said, some of what I have talked about in this video is from the Forbes 5 star performance guide. If you start out with this knowledge and understanding, you have room to develop your own 5 star style. Consultations prior to taking them to the treatment is also great... you develop what works best for you and your spa/doctors office. Great question though Devon..... much love to you:))

[@devon.pfeifer]

Nerida Joy thanks Nerida! It’s true that everyone has their way of providing great service... but my first treatment with you, along with this video, gives me ideas to adopt into my own future practice. Thank you! 🙏🏼 😁

[@LisaSchindlermaralohatvl]

You are awesome 👌 thank you 😊

[@Celineelisexo]

very informative for beginners thank you . nervous about applying for my first job as an esthetician I just want to be perfect and not mess anything up lol !

[@livewellandbeautiful]

Hi Nerida, great video as always... thank you so much! I wanted to ask you what your thoughts are on the effectiveness of skin care products containing collagen?

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

Depends on each brand, what it is combined with and the delivery system. It usually does not do much alone as its not an active, but, combined with certain actives (ahas or retinols) it might be good:))

[@agnieszkapawliszewska5474]

Nerida your skin is so glowy...could you please tell us (exept for retinol and qflawonoids) which face cream do you use at home and possible what foundation? I have most od The activ products from rejuvi ...and thinking about getting crems ...im 51 with thin skin ( no breakouts)...my skin Love thick oily textures and glossy finish. Thank you so much.You are The best🌸 Maybe you can make A video about YOUR morning and evening routine?

[@KINGTHEYORKIE]

Timeless tips

[@hailey6260]

I needed this video, thank you Nerida! I am wondering at what point during the facial you talk about home care with clients? I can't seem to figure out when/how to tell them what they should be using. I worry about talking too much and disrupting their relaxation, but I don't like to wait until the end and spring it on them. Thanks so much!!!

[@devon.pfeifer]

Hi Hailey 👋🏼 during a consultation with a client, at the very beginning of your facial is best, in my opinion. For example I will go over their forms with them that they have filled out, and I will say to them “Okay, now that we’ve finished going over your history, we’ll go into the treatment room and I will do a thorough analysis of you skin. When we are finished with your treatment, based on your concerns, we will come back out and discuss treatment frequency, as well as home care recommendations.” I am very upfront with people, and I want clients to know that I am serious about what I do, and that way it is not this “surprise selling” scenario at the end their facial-people should expect me to talk about it. And of course if people have questions while you are working on them, talking about what kind of homecare they use to help them can entice them to purchase. Education on using product is so important, and it shouldn’t have to be pushy just to try to get a sale-though I know many environments that are like that.

[@hailey6260]

Thank you Devon that was so helpful! Much appreciated!

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

I will do a video talking about this too. It depends on the client. Sometimes they are very anxious to talk about product recommendations. Other times, they are wanting to relax more and we talk after. I gauge once I start the analysis in the beginning. I usually like to work with the skin first and see how it responds to my treatment, then i have more to talk about at the end, what i see will work best for them. Usually its at the end for me...but I tell them " i am going to work with your skin first and I will talk to you about whats needed at the end".

[@hailey6260]

Thank you, Nerida! It makes a lot of sense to work with the skin first before jumping into product recommendations. Looking forward to the video! :)

[@ednaflynn5987]

Nerida this video was brilliant thank you so much again. I am studying Beauty therapy and my exams are coming the skin analysis is my major concern because I always get confused to where to start, this video was very helpful 😘😘😘😘😘

I am so glad....Thank you Edna. You will do great in your exams xo.

[@koyebrown9293]

Nerida, thank you so much for sharing such valuable etiquette information that we aren’t necessarily taught in school. I’m a new Esti just starting my solo practice. I’m debating if I should buy a Wood’s lamp to aid me with skin analysis since I’m still learning what to look for... I never used one in school but I think it might be beneficial. Do you think it’s a good idea or an unnecessary expense?

[@jessicachico3648]

Im on the same boat! I would like to know if it would be beneficial as well because I still have doubts doing skin analysis ..

[@andreaclark1066]

When will you be on Dallas Ms. Nerida? I currently reside in Houston and will definitely make the trip there to attend your class. Thank you!!!

[@lizvilla1283]

Great video ! Am not an estie just respect your honesty and work ethics. I wonder Nerida, what would be the do"s and don"ts of a client? I have been planning to see you for a while but been saving money. NOW I feel anxious like am meeting a celebrity lol. I don't know it it's normal but I feel anxious and self conscious about being looked closely...Am not to thrill with my skin condition and I know you won't judge me and I want to improve my skin issues but something about it makes me feel vulnerable. silly I know! I watched your videos and have an idea of qs you will ask. I have also seen YOUR compassion toward clients which helps a great deal to ease my anxiety. :-)

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

Liz, you are so funny..... we will have a good time:))

[@maryannr5094]

Nerida .. I am a newbie esty and have been watching your videos for awhile .. I am in awe of your style and generosity .. I am older .. vs young lol I have been looking for bioflavonoid .. arnica .. ivy in serums as you always speak of them .. You are my absolute favorite online esthetician and am researching what it is I want to use ... my 'people' are generally over 40 ... I cannot find anything with that combination .. I know you say there many wonderful products out there so I understand if you can't divulge :) thank you for everything I have copied your face massage although I am a massage therapist for many many years and so I get yours :) Would love love to learn from you .. I am located in southern Cali .. orange county beach area .. yes we are beach people and need damage control lol and I know you do not approve of peels .. ;) m

Hello Mary, Thank you so much for your beautiful words. The flavonoid I use is the rejuvi Q flavonoid. You can order it from my office at [e-mail] I do give a complimentary treatment to new esties starting with the rejuvi salon products... if that would be helpful for you:)) xo

[@robinbennett6675]

Hi Nerida..I’ve been a subscriber of yours for a few months. Jordan Samuel actually introduced me to your channel. I’m not a skincare student or professional, but do have a question for you. After a long term use of antibiotics following complications from last year’s flu. It killed all good and bad bacteria in my body. Of course this proved the prime breeding ground for a malassezia facial infection. I was misdiagnosed by three dermatologists..not one even bothered to look at my skin in any kind of magnifying lens or lamp. Each gave me a different diagnosis and more antibiotics. As I sat there scratching as gently as I could on my itchy face and begged for a culture to determine bacterial vs. fungal..all three refused. I’ve finally gotten the proper diagnosis and a topical anti fungal cream. My skin is still not back to normal. I believe that a good esthetician would have been able to diagnose the issue right away. The products to kill the yeast are prescription shampoos with chemicals and it’s hard on the skin. May I email you pictures of my skin now and have you make some product recommendations for me? Always a pleasure to watch you work your magic and teach! -Robin XoXo

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

OMG, I am so sorry you went through this Robin. Yes, please email me at [e-mail]. When you do please remind me you are from my KZbin channel. I will tell you though with yeast (candida albicians) you have to stay off certain foods for 3 months- bakers yeast (anything that rises i.e. cakes, breads etc) Cheese and mushroom (mould foods) Wine and vinegar (fermented foods) melons and if you have KP on the top backs of your arms (little bumps) then you also have to stay off sugar. 100% off these foods for 3 months when the candida is high in the system:))

[@Skinbyolivera]

Hi Nerida, another great video! Thank you for sharing. How much time do you set aside for a facial treatment?

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

60 or 90 min. :))

[@Skinbyolivera]

Nerida Joy thank you! What is the difference between the 60 and 90 minute? How many different types of facials do you have on your menu? I really appreciate your answering all of my questions :)

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

My treatments are ALWAYS custom..... 90 minutes allows me to do longer massage and/or longer extractions. Sometimes a couple of different treatment masks and hands and/or feet...... It really depends on what I need to do for my clients skin on that day. Sometimes I could be extracting for basically the full 90 minutes. Sometimes I book two back to back facials for the same client just to get through all the extractions....I am big on extractions and being really thorougher. My clients will tell you I am an extraction queen but thats also why I get fast results:))@@Skinbyolivera

[@Skinbyolivera]

Nerida Joy thank you! Sometimes clients ask me what facial I might perform next time they come in and I always say that I customize the treatment depending on what their skin needs that particular day. I am huge on extractions too. People ask if I like performing extractions and I say what I really love is a clean pore :) Do you ever use a lancet?

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

In California we are not allowed to sadly:( @@Skinbyolivera

Hi Nerida, I’m new to your channel. I’m dealing with some skin issues at the moment. Any products that you could recommend from brands that are at stores like ulta, Sephora etc? I live in Pennsylvania and wouldn’t ever have the time to fly out to meet with you. And I would love too but it’s not possible for me. Thank you.

[@nikkiiiiiiii112]

Hi Nerida! I’m currently a student at Aveda. Before we even take our guests to our treatment bay, we fill out a questionnaire and we look at their skin in a Wood’s Lamp which shows us different colors, indicating different things on the skin. As I am graduating soon I’m nervous about not using this lamp at my new job. I feel like it is a crutch/ cheat sheet to knowing my guest’s skin type. How should I go about getting used to skin analysis without it? Thank you!

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

They didn't teach you without it at all? You need to make a list of the different skin types, sub conditions and other concerns such as open pores, blackheads, pustules, white heads etc. Have that piece of paper beside you when you are analysing your clients skin to help you to look and describe what you are seeing:))

[@Duxbury_Skin]

Thank you for sharing! What are your takes in the at home portable hand held high frequency machine ? My facialist uses the acne zapper and it works to kill bacteria on the acne correct ? It works pretty well on my skin it seems. Can you educate me on this and your advice. Very much appreciated.

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

Yes, High frequency works ....antibacterial. You can use it all over the face or zap(spark) pimples. Just don't use it at the same application as an acid....glycolic etc....it together is strong and can burn the skin topically:)
