Today we’d like to introduce you to Jaime Herwehe.
Jaime, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I always had a passion for Makeup, specifically special effects! I went to school to become an Esthetician to better understand skincare to get the best foundation of makeup application. I fell in love with everything skin and found myself actually enjoying school for once in my life! I immediately got a job at B Medical Spa as soon as I got my license and seeing clients come to me with such low self-esteem and leaving their apt with a boost of confidence after a facial or a fresh set of eyelash extensions warms my heart! I believe everyone should be confident in their own skin and I love helping my clients reach their skin and lash goals!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
I didn’t figure out what I wanted to do until I was 26 years old! I was stuck in a fairytale world thinking everything was going to be handed to me and it obviously wasn’t happening. I was bartending and anyone who works in that industry knows how easy it is to get stuck in! However, when I finally pushed myself to go to school, I was still bartending several nights a week to get me through Esthetician school. There were some nights I didn’t get home until 4:30 AM and I would have to be in class at 7 AM. I felt like a walking zombie with no sleep ever but when I finally had my license in my hand, it was all worth it!
We’d love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on. What else should we know?
As an Esthetician at B Medical Spa, I offer a wide variety of facials, including Custom Facials, Enzyme facials, Fire and Ice, Oxygen, Microdermabrasions, Chemical Peels, the Hydrafacial, and more! I also specialize in Eyelash Extensions! (Classic, Hybrid, and Volume) I think what sets me apart from other Estheticians is I really listen to what my clients’ goals are and I am honest with what services and products will or won’t get them there! I love trying out skincare lines and testing them out on my own skin so I can recommend the best products from all different brands for all skin types! I love building relationships with all of my clients and I can honestly say I love all of them!
Do you have any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general? What has worked well for you?
Social Media has made it very easy for networking and learning new techniques or watching what works well for other Estheticians, etc. I love spending my extra time watching other Estheticians’ videos as well as other people in the industry who love to inspire, motivate, and empower others! I have learned about so many new products as well as techniques for skin care, facials, and eyelash extensions just by browsing Instagram videos!
