Checking for a License
Checking for a License Think of this like an interview. You get asked about your professional qualifications in job interviews and you should ask prospective estheticians for theirs. Lancer says it's important that the facial facility is linked with a medical facility as this ensures that there is a board-certified medical professional overseeing it. If you experience an allergic reaction, they will be able to handle it.

Most salons have strict policies about therapists and qualifications but Tomasso points out that a few states don't require an esthetic license to perform facial treatments. Besides having a license, it's essential to consider experience, any specializations and satisfied customers.
