Overcoming challenges when entering aesthetics

This will be a focus of her session at the Aesthetics Business Conference, where she’ll offer practical advice on getting started.
The importance of continuous learning
In the interview, Julie emphasises the importance of continuous learning and professional development. She encourages new practitioners to invest in reputable training and to seek out mentors who can guide them in the early stages of their careers. “Finding the right training in aesthetics can feel overwhelming with so many options available. I would recommend you start by prioritising accredited training providers that offer hands-on experience and are taught by experienced practitioners. It's helpful to ask for recommendations from colleagues you trust and choose courses that align with your career goals,” she advises. This aligns with the themes of the Aesthetics Business Conference, where industry leaders will share their knowledge to help newcomers and established professionals alike.
Advice for those starting their journey in aesthetics
When asked what advice she would give to aspiring aesthetics practitioners, Julie stressed the importance of patience and perseverance. "Success in aesthetics doesn’t come overnight. You need to build trust with your clients and demonstrate your expertise," she said. “My top tips for growing an aesthetic practice are all about staying true to yourself and focusing on what matters most. Be authentic and know your niche so you can really shine in your specialty. Understand who your ideal patient is and speak directly to them ... Always keep your patients at the heart of your decisions, and no matter how successful you become, remember to stay humble.”
