Key Quotes

 

“If you have that deeper, deeper melasma… You need to see a doctor. Have your hormones checked… You're not really helping the underlying issue if you're not seeing a doctor diving into that.” -  Sarah Kinsler

 

“When a client would come in and see me they can be laying on my table for 60 minutes or 90 minutes. And they are drilling me with questions. And if you're not an educated esthetician, we can't answer those questions, man… So if somebody's listening to this podcast, and you're somewhere, you know, not where we're located in the world, and you're looking for an esthetician, it's okay to interview them.” - Liz Steffen
