Esteem Aesthetics +

I am just sitting down for the first time tonight and seeing some of the texts I still need to answer. I’ll push through a couple more of those tonight.

But before that I have to give a huge thank you to my client Angie who made these sweet Haven & Hues sugar cookies for us and YOU. They’re perfect and delicious. They’ll be available in the lobby for all clients, visitors, and postal workers this week.💜

Thanks again, Ang. Love you big! 🫶🏼🌻

Huge shout out to Pretty Little Tips 💅🏼
I asked Kelsey to do something a little more simple for me this time and she understood the assignment with these cat eye little bats. Pictures dont do this one justice.

With big personal life changes come big business changes too. 🥹✨

Sooo in 2027, Esteem Aesthetics is officially expanding to MICHIGAN! 💉🤍 I’ll be opening an office there and splitting my time between Michigan and WV each month.

I’m nervous, excited, and honestly a very emotional about this next chapter. Michigan is obviously home for me, so I’m so excited for the opportunity to build something there, see new and familiar faces, reach new clients, and keep doing what I love in another town I love.🥹

To my WV family who has supported me from literally day one, I LOVE YOU GUYS.😭 You are the reason I’ve been able to grow this little business into what it is today, and WV isn’t going anywhere. Nor will this affect the salon or any of the other businesses within it. But constantly driving back and forth while trying to balance my personal life and run a business has been wearing me thin, and this is a transition I need to make for both me and yall.

With that change, I will be taking on less clientele in WV each month. My consistent regulars and tox clients will be prioritized when scheduling, and I’ll have fewer spots available for new or occasional clients. I hope you guys understand why this change is necessary and know how incredibly grateful I am for all of you.🤍

There are still lots of pieces to put together, including finding the perfect Michigan office, finding the right MD to work with, getting all of my Michigan nursing requirements in order, and about a million other little things 😂 but it’s officially happening. Stay tuned.

WV + MI in 2027. 🥹💉✨

Good morning beauties! ☀️

It’s been the busiest week ever but I’m back and answering messages today! Some of you need to still get on the books and November is almost full.

Please text me if you’re still needing a slot!

My books are still closed to new clients and I have a few big personal, work and client related announcements later.

🚨Attn: I went home sick and early yesterday. If you have an appointment scheduled for today please message me and we’ll get you in tomorrow as I’m still not feeling great.

I’ll be working from home today and am continuing to get through booking and reschedule messages. If we had a make up appointment that needed scheduled, please message me so you’re at the top of my list. All other messages will be returned in the order received. My goal is to have every message answered and sorted out by the end of the night. Thanks guys!

Good morning, guys! I wanted to take a quick minute to let yall know my books are officially CLOSED again!

I am so booked and incredibly grateful. I’ll only be booking the people already on my client list or who currently have a message sitting in my inbox. I’m working through those today, but I won’t be taking any new requests after that.

I’m hoping to open my books back up around the beginning of the year, but until then we are full.

I will also no longer be booking via DM now that prepays are completed. You will only be able to book using my link below:

Thank you guys for keeping me this busy and continuing to trust me with your faces. I appreciate you.💜🫶🏼

Hey guys! Popping on to say I’m just getting off work. With that being said, I’m completely done working for the day. I have so many messages and texts to get back to and I will be doing so in the morning. TYIA

My half syringe girlies.💛

Same amount of filler • Three very different shapes and sizes.💋

I met another victim of the hylaron pen today. And she stated she wishes she would’ve been more educated on needleless filler before getting the treatment but now at least she can say she went through the experience and be able to warn and educate others…

So here’s a little correction + a little education 💉✨

The photos on the left are how this client came to me after previously having her lips done with a hyaluron pen. The photos on the right are after one full syringe of filler with me.

Are they perfectly corrected after one appointment? Nope. I’ll always be transparent about that. But we were able to significantly improve the overall symmetry, balance her upper and lower lip, and camouflage a lot of the uneven texture and bumps she was left with. And with this being the results of our first session, I’m fairly confident we can get it exactly where she needs and wants to be at her follow up.

But this is also your reminder to VET. YOUR. PROVIDER.

A hyaluron pen is not simply a “needle-free version” of traditional filler. It uses high pressure to force product into the tissue, giving the provider far less control over exactly where that product is being placed. The FDA specifically warns against needle-free devices like hyaluron pens for dermal filler and says they have been associated with serious injuries, including permanent damage to the skin, lips, and eyes.

I have so many people ask me if I quit nursing to do this full time. No, I am still very much a medical professional. I am injecting specific products into your body. You should want and only receive treatment feom a medical professional. Because filler is a medical procedure, even when the goal is cosmetic. Know who is treating you. Ask about their license, schooling, training and experience if you need to. Make sure they understand facial anatomy and, just as importantly, know how to recognize and manage a complication if one happens.

Cheap, convenient or “needle-free” does not automatically mean safer. You only get one face. Please be picky about who you trust with it.🤍

Just a little housekeeping regarding prepaid slots 💜

I’ve had a few more people reach out asking for refunds because they’ve changed their minds, so I want to make sure I’m being super clear about how these work moving forward.

Unless there is an emergency that directly affects your ability to receive treatment or a pregnancy, prepaid slots are nonrefundable. These appointments are extremely limited, they go FAST, and they’re offered at a pretty insane discount. The money from these sales goes directly toward ordering product and supplies for those appointments.

When you claim a slot, you’re also taking one that someone else would have happily grabbed. Asking for a refund weeks or months later because you changed your mind puts the business in a really difficult position, and unfortunately I just can’t continue making exceptions.

I’m always very upfront about the dates and guidelines before these are purchased. Yes, prepaid appointments usually mean waiting a little longer — sometimes 3+ weeks — but that wait is part of the tradeoff for getting such a discounted price, and for most of you that savings is absolutely worth it.

A couple other things I need to tighten up:

✨ If you request an invoice, you have until midnight that day to pay it. After that, it will be canceled.

✨ Prepaid slots are first come, first served. If someone else pays before you, the available slot may be gone and your invoice will be canceled.

✨ I can see when invoices are delivered and viewed. If you specifically ask me to send you an invoice and then view it and ignore it, I will skip over you the next time I offer a prepaid sale. I hate even having to say that, but creating and keeping track of invoices takes time too.

One of the hardest parts of growing my business has been learning how to set professional boundaries with people who have also become important to me personally. I genuinely love my clients, and I think that’s exactly why I’ve struggled with being strict about certain things. But as my business grows, so does the number of people I’m scheduling, messaging, invoicing and trying to accommodate — and I have to have rules that apply across the board.

I hate making posts like this, and I know it probably feels like I’ve had to make more of them lately. I promise it’s not because I’m becoming less appreciative or less flexible. It’s actually the opposite.. there are just SO many more of you now. 🥹 And with growth comes having to make sure everyone understands how these sales work so I can continue offering them.

If prepaid slots come back in 2027, these boundaries will have to be followed consistently for me to keep doing them.

Thank you guys for always supporting me, keeping me busy, and allowing me to do something I genuinely love. 💜

Now enough business talk, I’m excited to see all your pretty faces in October. 🫶🏼
