1. How much can an Esthetician make?

2. When starting down any new career path any person wants to make sure that they are going to make a good living at it so that you can support yourself and your family.

3. The field of esthetics has a broad range of pay. Before starting your training you should research what estheticians make in your area.  If you are in a smaller, more rural area chances are you will make less money then if you were working in a larger, more populated area.  However, even if you are in a small area, there is still the potential to make good money as your skill level increases.

4. The amount of money you make as an esthetician will rely heavily on how much time you have put in as a certified esthetician.  If you are working in a spa you will more then likely start out at a lower salary level. Once you have more hands on experience, you will start to see more income.  The more you work at it, the better your skills will become and the more money you will make with a higher client list.

5. For larger income it would great if you proceed with further education experience so that you can work within the medical field.  However, while you may make more money as an esthetician within the medical field, your salary does not increase based on the amount of experience or clients that you take on.  While you will receive raises from your employer, more then likely your pay will not increase like it would if you were taking on clients of your own in a spa setting.

6. It’s a personal decision whether you choose to start at the bottom in a spa and work hard to gain clientele or whether you choose to gain more certification as a medical esthetician and start at a higher salary.
