Finding your Esthetician: Green Flags That Go Beyond Skin Deep By Christa Jutras | Everly Grace Beauty
Finding the right esthetician for you.
In a world overflowing with skincare trends, fast facials, and one-size-fits-all treatments, finding the right esthetician can feel a bit like dating—you want to feel seen, safe, and supported, not sold to, judged, or rushed. At Everly Grace Beauty, we believe your skincare experience should nurture more than your skin; it should touch your body and soul, too.
So how do you know when you've found your person? Here are the facial green flags that tell you you've landed in the right hands:
1. You Feel Safe, Seen, and Never Judged
The right esthetician creates a space where you can fully exhale. You're not just a client—they see you as a whole person, not just a set of skin concerns. Whether you're opening up about stress-related breakouts, postpartum changes, or aging insecurities, you feel emotionally safe. They listen without rushing, recommend without shaming, and offer care without conditions.
2. They Educate Without Overwhelming (or Selling)
A great esthetician empowers you with knowledge—not pressure. They explain what’s happening with your skin, why certain ingredients matter, and how your body, lifestyle, and emotions all play a part. There’s no guilt-trip for not owning the “perfect” skincare lineup. Instead, you’re met with grounded, honest education that makes you feel more confident and capable in your skin journey.
3. Honesty Over Hype
Your esthetician should be your skincare truth-teller. If something won't work for you, they'll tell you. If a trending treatment isn't right for your skin, they won't upsell it. There’s integrity in their advice and transparency in their process. You leave each session trusting the intention behind every product and technique they choose.
4. The Treatment Feels Like It Was Made for You
Cookie-cutter treatments have no place in a true healing space. Your esthetician should tailor each session to your skin's needs that day. Whether you need deep nourishment, energetic clearing, or lymphatic flow, the experience should shift with you—not stay stuck in a protocol. You’re not a repeat formula—you’re a living, changing being.
5. You Leave Feeling Lighter, Not Just Glowier
Of course, we all love the glow. But the best facials do more than smooth fine lines and boost radiance—they help you release. A great esthetician helps drain not only lymph but emotional tension, energetic stagnation, and the mental noise of your day. You walk out feeling lighter, more grounded, and more connected to yourself.
6. They Treat the Whole You
At Everly Grace Beauty, we don’t separate the skin from the soul. Your face tells a story—of stress, digestion, hormones, sleep, joy. The right esthetician honors that and works holistically to support the systems underneath. From gentle touch to guided breathwork, herbal support to intuitive skin reading, it’s all connected—and it’s all welcome.
In the End, It’s a Relationship
Choosing an esthetician is a personal act of self-care. It’s more than a beauty routine—it’s a relationship with someone who helps you reclaim your skin, your worth, and your wellness. When you find the right one, it’s not just about looking better—it’s about feeling more like you.
At Everly Grace Beauty, we believe every woman deserves to feel safe, sacred, and seen. If that resonates with you, you may have just found your skin home.
