I finally spoke up when a new hire kept using the same extraction tool on every pore

At my old spa in Austin, we had this one tool, the 'Luna Loop', that was great for certain blackheads but terrible for milia. I watched a junior esthetician use it on a client's cheek for ten minutes straight last Tuesday, and the skin just got redder. I pulled her aside after and showed her the different angled tools in our kit, explaining how pressure needs to change based on what you're working on. It made me miss the days when we had more time for proper training instead of just rushing through appointments. What's one technique you had to unlearn when you first started?

My first spa manager swore by the single-tool method too.

Honestly though, sometimes you just gotta stick with what works. If the Luna Loop gets most stuff out, why mess with a whole bunch of different tools and slow everything down? Clients just want results fast.

Right, because nothing says quality work like "getting most stuff out." Guess we should all just use a butter knife for everything.
