The Esthetician Connection has become my “go to place”for reviews on products and modalities….where else can you get a community of close to 30,000 estheticians willing to share their experience with products and services!!! I also love the special sells.. I have gotten great deals on many great products that I would have never known about…..and my favorite thing is the live videos at the trade shows.. makes me feel like I am right there in the middle of all the excitement!

When I joined the Esthetician Connection a couple years ago, I was blown away by all of the valuable information. I remember the time Sheri would spend talking to me. She had never met me before, but it was obvious she loved what she did and wanted to share her knowledge with a community of other esty’s that shared her passion. I have learned so much about products, services and technique.

When I first found the Esthetician Connection, I had no idea what I had just found. It’s a treasure for esthetician! You have a huge community of professionals at your fingertips. When you’re stumped you turn to other professionals who can guide you in the right direction. I can’t even begin to tell you the product knowledge I have gained either! Every week a product is highlighted and you even have opportunities to purchase at a special rate.

The EstheticianConnection has been a complete bundle of excitement and has benefited me in so many ways. Since starting my facial services after a few years of not doing them in my business I needed guidance and a boost of memory refreshing. After joining I immediately felt my motivation rise and was able to learn about the latest products, product specials, ingredient education, and could find the answer to almost any question I needed answered just by a simple search or post.
