East Bay Esthetics, beautiful skin is our profession.

06/18/2026

have you ever noticed that professionals we only see at work sometimes seem a little unreal?

as if they wake up already wearing their uniform, with full-on makeup, perfectly styled hair, endless energy, and a smile that’s ready for the day before they’ve even had their first cup of coffee.

as if they never get tired, never have bad days, never doubt themselves, and somehow always have everything figured out.

and i’d say that’s definitely part of being a professional.

but for the last seven years, i’ve been trying to do something different.

i keep asking myself:

“vika, how are you feeling?”

“are you comfortable?”

“what do you truly want?”

the answers aren’t always easy, but they’re real. and that’s where i find the energy for a new day.

so today i want to show you a little bit of the life behind the treatment room.

✈️ travel changes everything.

the climate.
the water.
your schedule.

your skin notices all of it.

a few things I always tell my clients before they travel.

which slide felt most familiar? 🤍

being an esthetician is basically:

75% skincare
10% detective work 🕵️‍♀️
5% explaining why tiktok trends are a bad idea
5% remembering everyone’s vacation plans
5% hearing the latest life updates

i love every minute of it

i love hearing that your jaw pain is gone, your skin is healthier, your headaches have improved, or that you finally feel rested after a treatment.

but today i want to talk about something else.

here are 14 things i’ve learned from my clients:

1) it is never too late to start over.

2) aging is a privilege, not a tragedy.

3) the world is much safer and kinder than the news would have us believe.

4) hobbies are not a luxury. they make life richer.

5) friendship is one of the best investments you’ll ever make.

6) taking care of your body in your 30s and 40s pays off in your 70s and 80s.

7) women should be able to support themselves.

8) finding the right partner is one of life’s greatest advantages.

9) difficult seasons always end.

10) investing in your children’s future is one of the most important investments you’ll ever make.

11) there is always another place to explore and another adventure waiting.

12) everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

13) gratitude comes naturally when you realize everything is relative.

14) sometimes the best life advice comes during a facial.

and one bonus lesson:

15) never say never. thanks to my clients, i eat oysters again. 😆

thank you for sharing your stories with me all these years. they have shaped me in ways you’ll never know. ❤️

to some people, seeing an esthetician regularly may feel unnecessary.

just “self care”, relaxation, or a luxury.

but let me say something very important.

sometimes estheticians are the first people to notice that something is wrong.

an unusual mole.

a suspicious discoloration.

an abnormal growth.

enlarged lymph nodes or thyroid area.

changes in the skin that should not be ignored.

over the years, i have had many moments where i told clients:

“please get this checked.”

and yes, sometimes it turned out to be something serious.

this is why facials are not only about glow, relaxation, or anti-aging.

sometimes they are about paying attention to your health and noticing things early enough.

in a way, your esthetician can become another person quietly looking out for you 🦸‍♀️

You know that moment when a client is still lying on the bed, skin warm, barely finished the treatment - and they turn to you and say "I'm sending my friends to you."

I don't think people realize what that does to me.

It's not about growing my business.
It's not about numbers.
It's about trust 🤍

i often get asked the same question by my clients: what are your favorite eminence products?

usually, i answer: “citrus & kale potent c+e serum” and “arctic berry peptide radiance cream.”

but there are products i love beyond those two — the biodynamic collection.

what makes it so special? the plants used in this collection are grown using biodynamic farming practices — without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or artificial additives. it is considered the highest standard of organic cultivation available today.

when i first started working with this collection, something felt different. not just the results, but the intention behind it.

i reach for these products especially when skin feels stressed, reactive, sensitive, or simply tired. they have a way of bringing skin back into balance without overwhelming it.

for me, the biodynamic collection is more than skincare. it represents the purest, most intentional, and most vibrant approach to caring for the skin.

in a world where skincare keeps getting more complicated, this collection is a beautiful reminder that nature still does it best. 🤍
