[@aquasun4504]

I'm looking at leaving my current profession as a social worker, and going into esthetics. You are super inspirational to me. Thanks for all the great content!

[@kristenmarieco]

You’re so so welcome. WOW! You are taking such a huge leap of faith. I know it’s scary but if this is your passion it’ll be SO worth it. I am sending you positive vibes and best of luck in your journey! I make this content for people like you. I’ll keep you in mind as I continue to film. Keep me posted ❤️

[@aquasun4504]

@@kristenmarieco thank you so much for your reply! After 5 years, it's time. I'm so excited! And thank you, I will absolutely keep you posted. I will be watching and learning!

[@saraharcelia6983]

Kristen!! I started watching you last year towards my graduation from beauty school. You’ve shared so much and laid out a blueprint for us all while shouting out minority business and wearing your heart on your sleeve. I can’t imagine also having a young son on top of this, he’s so blessed. Will keep you in my prayers, you made the right move and this assistance will help you build a solid foundation for your family. Congrats!!

[@kristenmarieco]

Thank you so much for this comment. It made me smile so big. I needed it. As much as my channel has helped you, it’s support like yours that also in turn helps me. Keep being a light to others and stay in touch!

[@kristeniswhite]

You’ve been with me through my whole esthi journey. I watched your vids all through school and you inspired me to jump into doing it on my own! I’m on week 3 of my solo esthi journey and have learned so many real world tips from your content. You really have helped me through every step of the way 🥺🖤

[@kristenmarieco]

Another Kristen 😍 sounds like you’re motivated and passionate! There’s no doubt you’ll be successful if you stay positive and consistent and keep learning. I’m so glad my content has helped you. Wishing you best of luck and good vibes!

[@spudzie14]

Love from a baby esthetician, 1 month working in the industry and you’ve been my biggest inspiration for over a year since before I finally pushed myself to go to school 💕🥰 Thank you for everything!

[@kristenmarieco]

I just wanna give you a hug!!! You’re the best. I’m so glad you have been motivated by this but give yourself some credit and congratulate yourself for pushing yourself to pursue your dreams. Get it girl! Xoxo

[@Beautybyshayshay_]

I’ve been doing serious research on being a esthetician in NY. I’m ready to wake up everyday doing something I love. When I came across your KZbin it definitely got me more excited.

[@yayasjourney]

Just passed my written exam this last Saturday…trying to hurry & get my practical exam scheduled so I can pass that too & get my license!!! Super excited and eager to really kick off my own thing! Thank you for all the info you share!! Get it boss babe!

[@kristenmarieco]

Yay! Congrats on passing! Best of luck with the practical too. You got this! I’m excited for you. Thank you for the support ❤️ stay in touch

[@lamandamabry2172]

Thank you for the video Kristen! You have been so so helpful and inspirational. I’m 6 weeks into my esthetics program at Paul Mitchell Costa Mesa and I just can’t wait to fulfill all my dreams of becoming a solo esthetician. I appreciate you and thanks for inspiring all of us🤍🤍🤍

[@kristenmarieco]

You’re so welcome! And thank YOU for your comment and support. That’s so cool I almost went there actually lol but I couldn’t afford it. Lol Take full advantage of that place! The facility is beautiful and has great clients coming in there. Keep me posted on your journey! ❤️

[@lizvasquez06]

You’re are destined for greatness! I always enjoy watching facial videos but truly appreciate your tips for upcoming esthies!

[@sup3rsuasion]

i love your channel! i started esti school a week ago and i’m so excited to finally be able to learn more as time goes on, i strive to be a solo esthetician when the time comes and you’re part of my inspiration!

[@camilledolin2022]

I so appreciate you. I’ve been following since the beginning and you never cease to amaze me. I’m going to be working full time and then going to school in the evenings Monday-Friday starting January. I know it’s going to be hard but I am hungry to have my own business. I’m nervous but excited. Thank you for your honesty. It gives all us newbies hope. :)

[@kristenmarieco]

I appreciate YOU! Thank you for your words. Our journeys sound very similar. It will be tough and you’ll be exhausted at times but remember it’s temporary. Soak as much up as you can at school, make those connections with other students and the teachers, and do as many facials as you can. Keep me posted on your journey! Those nerves are a good thing! Shows you really want to do this and do it well.

[@camilledolin2022]

@@kristenmarieco thank you so much. :) Our journey is similar! I’m actually going to Saddleback in Laguna and I would have never known about that school if it weren’t for you mentioning it in one of your earlier videos. I live in Orange County and was looking at private options. I had no idea that you could go through community college. So truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@kyleenorfleet]

Love these check ins!!! I’m itching to be able to customize my sessions more so I can really help my clients get bomb results. I’m new army clinic but I just have so many ideas and I hate feeling so restrictive. Watching you is always so inspiring because I really want to work for myself (even tho it puzzles me a little) but I feel like I know what you mean when you just KNOW you need a change and want to do more.

[@kristenmarieco]

Awwww you’re so sweet, thank you for watching this touchbase! I encourage you to be patient! Your time WILL come. Get that experience so you can have more confidence and in due time you’ll be doing those custom treatments. Your foundation of knowledge will build and build and then one day it’ll just click. Lol it’s cool. Excited to see your story continue to unfold. Please stay in touch!

[@iamme6350]

Thanks girl for the video and inspiration! My goal by the end of the year is completing my spa room and have at least 5 booked appts before opening :)

I'm in esthetician school right now but I'm starting to get nervous I have no idea on how to start working in spas or where to even begin do you any suggestions.

[@kristenmarieco]

Don’t worry about that Just yet! Focus on finishing school and passing state board. Make those connections at school and stay in touch when you’re done. Then just start interviewing after you get your license. Best of luck to you! Keep in touch ❤️
