The Esthetician Practice Series is a blog-based series focused on real-world work in the beauty industry. It covers appointment flow, client communication, front desk operations, and managing both the practice and training. Each post reflects everyday situations from professional practice.
All materials are published in a short, focused format. Each article addresses one specific situation from daily practice and can be applied immediately.
The series covers topics such as:
You can read the articles in order or return to selected topics depending on your current needs in the practice.
A phone call or message is the first moment when a client evaluates the practice. It is not only the information that matters, but how it is delivered. The conversation should lead to a clear outcome: booking an appointment or setting the next point of contact.
Clients usually call or message to:
Every conversation should end with a clear next step.
The conversation should not feel rushed, but it should not be overly detailed either. Short, calm responses create the impression of an organized and professional practice.
Clients do not need a full treatment breakdown over the phone. A brief explanation and an appointment offer are enough.
A consistent structure keeps conversations calm and clear.
The greeting should be short and natural.
Examples:
“Good morning, [Practice Name], how can I help you?”
“Good morning, this is [Practice Name].”
Price questions are very common. The best approach is to answer calmly and immediately offer an appointment. The price alone rarely closes the conversation.
Response structure:
Examples:
“The treatment is $…, we can offer an appointment on…”
“The price is $…, our next available opening is…”
If the client is interested, offer a specific day and time. A concrete option makes the decision easier.
Examples:
“I can offer you an appointment on…”
“Let me check availability for…”
After booking, repeat the confirmed date and time.
Messages should be short and direct. Long responses often delay the client’s decision.
Examples:
“Our next available appointment is…”
“The treatment cost is…”
“We can schedule you for…”
If the client is unsure, end the conversation calmly and leave the door open.
Examples:
“Feel free to reach out once you decide.”
“Appointments fill quickly, so you’re welcome to book in advance.”
After scheduling, briefly summarize the date, time, and any preparation instructions.
Examples:
“We’ll see you on… at…”
“You’ll receive a reminder the day before your appointment.”
| Stage | Action | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Start of conversation | Calm greeting | Strong first impression |
| Price question | Price + appointment offer | Clear direction |
| Scheduling | Specific day and time | Confirmed booking |
| Confirmation | Repeat the details | Avoids confusion |
| Closing | Calm wrap-up | Sense of professionalism |
Effective phone and message handling directly impacts the number of booked appointments. Clients expect clear information and a specific offer. A short, structured conversation supports decision-making and keeps front desk operations organized.
A consistent conversation framework allows communication to remain calm and controlled, even with a high volume of inquiries.
