The Things You Read On The Internet.....

Recently while perusing the Internet I hopped on a girly beauty type board(remember the unholy trinity)and was flipping through helpful hints when I came across a disturbing article about a facial that involved 2 1/2 hours of extractions. WTF? And the client was sooooo happy with the facial she was raving about it on her board. Now let me tell you, I'll be the first to admit one of the perks of being an esthy is extractions. I just get a warm fuzzy when I press down and an inch of hardened dirt and sebum come popping up through my extractor. Seriously there have been times I wanted to run from the room extractor and extracted particle waving in front of me going,'looky what I got out isn't it awesome high fives all around!!' Unfortunately that is unprofessional, and bad karma for rebooking of the client; but I digress. 2 1/2 hours of extractions is insane, not to mention how painful it must have been. I'm amazed that any esthy would subject a client to extractions for that amount of time without benefit of Valium or Novocaine. Let me tell you if you go to get a facial and the extractions last over 10-15 mins start to cough,sneeze,wheeze,fart or anything to get your esthy moving on, your face will thank me for it.
