Meet Paige Jackson

Today we’d like to introduce you to Paige Jackson. 

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I first decided to become an aesthetician in the summer of 2018. It started off very random, but I knew that I would have a passion for this field. I quickly searched for schools in my area that offered this course, and I toured a few schools that I had interest in. Once I enrolled in school it was mainly because I had a passion for body waxing. That was my sole reason for going. However, once I was in school, we started to learn the art of facials. The mere thought of fixing skin concerns and helping myself achieve clear skin was all I could think of. Skincare in general as well as body hair removal became my passion. My family and friends could sincerely yell I was enjoying myself and this was the path in life that would make me happy! Shortly after graduating school, I honestly became nervous stepping out and leaving my job to work as an esthetician. I was very very worried that maybe I wouldn’t be successful. Maybe this wouldn’t work out. Maybe I should still work my real job on the side. In June of 2020, I stepped out on faith and fully committed myself to my business. I told myself that I will give 100% into my business and to my surprise clients started flowing in like crazy. Learning how to promote what services I offer on social has been a task that I thoroughly enjoy. From making reels to TikTok’s, even just posting a simple picture., it gives people a small look into my business. I appreciate each and every one of my clients and I love that they trust me to help correct their skin. I look forward to seeing how much my business grows within the next 5-10 years and where this takes me. 

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
For me, the road was not always smooth. In this field, you will always have slow months, and busy months. My main struggle was trying to figure out what months would be slow for me so that I could financially plan around that. I will say that keeping up with inventory of products and supplies will help a lot! 

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am an esthetician located in Southfield, MI. I specifically specialize in facials and also full body waxing. I would say I am most proud my waxing techniques. I have mastered the art of efficiency and accuracy when it comes to removing body hair. This actually sets me apart from other estheticians because I have a technique that allows the process to be fast, but also bearable. Waxing is known for being very painful, but my clients will tell you otherwise after they leave their appointments with me! 

The crisis has affected us all in different ways. How has it affected you and any important lessons or epiphanies you can share with us?
Honestly, when it comes to COVID-19 and working in this field it just means you have to be prepared for anything. I work with real-life clients. Face to face. So, making sure I protect myself and make sure I protect my clients as well. Stay on top of cleaning and sanitizing each area are very important. Also making sure you are checking temperatures as well! Take all the necessary precautions to keep everyone safe!
