GETTING STARTED
Do I need an esthetics license to own a Skin Experts franchise?
No. You do not need to be a licensed esthetician or have a clinical or esthetics background to own a Skin Experts franchise. Your licensed estheticians perform the treatments, while your role is to lead your team and operate the business. Experience in beauty, wellness, or business can be helpful, but it is not required.
