The primary role of an esthetician is to provide personal services for the cosmetic care of skin. This profession focuses on skin health and beauty, addressing various skin concerns such as acne, aging, and hydration through various treatments and products. Estheticians typically perform services such as facials, skin analysis, microdermabrasion, and hair removal. Their training emphasizes skin care knowledge, product usage, and the ability to tailor treatments to meet individual client needs, making them specialists in enhancing and maintaining skin appearance.
In contrast, managing a cosmetology school or instructing students in a salon involves responsibilities related to education and administration rather than direct client services. Performing hair and nail services, while associated with the broader cosmetology field, falls under the expertise of hair stylists and nail technicians rather than estheticians, who specialize specifically in skin care.
