Behind The Masque

By Behind The Masque Podcast

Behind The Masque is a Podcast made for Estheticians that may be figuring their own place in the beauty industry. Learn from us and laugh with us as we get through certain milestones of business. We get real deep into hot topics and love to make fun of what we do on a day to day basis. Excuse me? Who ever said waxing buttholes was an easy job? The beauty industry is not sunshine and rainbows all the time! These are the highs, lows, and the behind the scenes of what being a full time Solo Esthetician is like. I hope we can validate and educate you as we get through it together.

EP: 36 RED FLAGS

EP: 36 RED FLAGS

During this episode, Linley and I (Miranda) talk about some Red Flags in the beauty industry employers. Don't walk; RUN if you come across any funky contracts, have back bar drama, or if you simply don't align with that business. Life is short; why waste your skills on employer's that don't value your expertise?


There are a TON of ethical businesses out there. Please be aware of some of those who aren't. It WILL save you time and a lot of headache in the end.
