Description

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Melissa Solomon, a newly licensed esthetician and the owner of The Shed Spa, to talk about what it really looks like to open your own spa—especially when you’re fresh out of school.


We dive into the fears, risks, and mindset shifts that come with becoming an esthetician, choosing to work for yourself, and building a business from the ground up. Melissa shares what surprised her most about owning a spa, what she wishes she knew before opening, and what she’d tell anyone dreaming of becoming an esthetician or opening their own treatment space.


If you’re a new esthetician, thinking about opening a spa, or wondering whether going out on your own is worth it—this episode is honest, encouraging, and packed with real-world insight.
