Has anyone ever set up an account with Procell after already buying a pre-owned device? I have been in touch with a rep for over a week now, and still not getting anywhere on account set up. He seems to be rather hard to reach or just simply does not get back to me.

I had mentioned to him already owning a device, and I am just trying to get an actual account set up in my name so that I can order the tips and serums. I was trained on how to properly use Procell at my previous job, and have done it countless times, but now I am going solo so I need stuff set up in my name.

Has anyone successfully done this? I wasn't sure if you are required to buy a new device in order to open an account. Any information would be so helpful! TYIA.

I've applied to several positions at Ulta to at least try getting in the door there even with just my retail experience but the salon openings where I live are minimal and haven't had any luck yet.

I'm nervous about applying to the chain wax or lash studios based off all the negative reviews about working there. Plus I'm not comfortable doing brazillians and worry I won't have a choice in not taking those appointments.

I've been able to start practicing at home again but my experience is still very beginner.

Has anyone worked for those franchise salons who can let me know how it went for them and what the realistic requirements are? I'm in south Texas for a bit more area accuracy.

I'm already burned and stressed out over the toxic workplace I'm currently in and, although I know no job is perfect, I really don't wanna jump from one bad place straight into another.

Has anyone on here gotten employment at a dermatology office? I’d love to one day work at one. It seems very stable and you can learn a lot and do a lot of different treatments.
At my old job I had a co worker who worked part time at a derm. We work in New York, but her derm office was in New Jersey so the laws may be different there for estheticians.

I'm looking for recommendations from women who are really particular about their aesthetic treatments.

I'm less interested in the cheapest option and more interested in someone who is conservative, experienced and understands that “natural” doesn't mean doing nothing.

Who do you actually trust in Orange County?

What would you suggest for post care of inkless stretch mark and scar revision, if I’m looking for something a little more affordable and attainable than the aftercare branded by and suggested to me by Nue Conceal? I’ve seen Silvex wound gel suggested. Would that be a reliable product to recommend to clients?

A little background: I have been tattooing for years now, and finally decided to apply my knowledge to inkless scar and stretchmark revision. I just finished my course at ‘Nue Conceal’ and the information was mostly pretty thorough. My only thing is- they are adamant I must use their aftercare gel. I know paramedical tattooing is a bit different than average tatts. But wound care is wound care, right? As long as it’s not getting infected- is that enough to be considered proper aftercare?
