Aesthetician Resume Example

Beauty may be skin deep, but skin is a vital organ. As an aesthetician, you must consider both how to maximize the appearance of your clients’ skin and how to keep skin healthy. Your resume must include a balance of these talents while highlighting your customer service style and abilities.

 Why do you need a Profile? Read on to find out.

Resume Profile Example

This vital section is the only place where you can inject a little personality into your resume writing. You have about 100-200 words (depending on the length of your Employment History section) to show potential employers your communication skills and personal style. This is also the spot to brag a little (in a justified sense) about your achievements.

If you have a loyal customer base, talk it up! Customer satisfaction is a huge part of your job. If you specialize in waxing or other hair removal techniques, have developed a great body treatment, or have distinguished yourself in any way, this is the place to highlight it.

Your profile (also known as a summary, objective or personal statement) is an overview of the best you have to offer. It gives recruiters a chance to get to know you and to distinguish you from other candidates. Use strong descriptive language and powerful action verbs as you talk about your talents and relationships with clients. Think about how you want your cover letter to complement this section, too.

Employment History Section

Your Employment History section (or your work experience) should show off your talents and take into account the environment in which you are applying for a job. It is more than just a basic rundown of past jobs. Aestheticians might work in a day spa, beauty facility, or even in a hospital, working with clients to achieve skin goals. Each of these workplaces requires a slightly different skillset, so make sure you target the specific job by focusing your job descriptions.

As you develop this work experience section, be aware that some employers may distinguish between aestheticians, who focus more on the beauty aspects of skincare, and estheticians, who work in more clinical settings.That distinction is not true across the board, but you can work in different settings, so make sure that you read job listings carefully. Then, organically use the exact keywords and phrases that you found in the listing as you personalize your resume. This will help you rank high enough to get past the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) algorithms and get your resume into the hands of a recruiter.

Use each job you have had to showcase a new skill you developed. In your work, you may perform procedures such as chemical peels, hair removal, microdermabrasion and other facials. There is no need to mention each one in every listing. Instead, try to get as much different information as you can into the space you have. Be as detailed as you can. Use numbers to tell how you improved the client-base at your current place of work, how you improved product sales, or describe the specific techniques you use.  

If you have related experience, such as retail sales of skin care products or performing spa treatments, or have experience in a field such as cosmetology, list those here as well. The skills you learned in those positions are transferable.

See resume example content for the work experience section below:

Example
  • Provided the highest level of customer service to clients seeking skincare treatments and remedies.
  • Performed hair removal treatments, ensuring that the hair did not return after the final procedure.
  • Performed anti-aging treatments and recommended appropriate and beneficial skin care topical solutions to clients.
  • Developed treatment plans and options based on client’s skin needs and concerns.
  • Applied makeup on clients to help them achieve a desired look.

Education Section Example

Aestheticians must complete a training program approved in the state in which they choose to practice. Most places also require that an aesthetician obtain the proper licensure to practice. If you have training as a medical, or paramedic, esthetician, list that training here as well. Any other licenses you have that are related, such as a beautician’s license, should also be listed because they show that you have related talents and would make a versatile employee.

List all your degrees and certifications here. Any honors or distinctions should be noted here as well. You can also create a separate section for certifications in your resume if you choose. 

See resume example content for the education section below:

Example
  • 2008-2011 Southwest Institute of Natural Aesthetics, Natural Aesthetics Tempe, AZ
  • 2004-2008 Scottsdale High School, High School Diploma Scottsdale, AZ

Relevant Skills Example

Your skills section is where you pull out your most desired abilities for each job and bullet point them. We recommend making a “master list” of all the skills you have that are at all relatable to your work. Brainstorm any and all relevant skills that you might have and write them out in a separate document. That way, as you apply for jobs (now and in the future), you can pick and choose from your list to best match the skills your potential employer wants.

Choose higher-level hard skills, which are the abilities and knowledge necessary to do your job. They include your understanding of different skin types and skin-care programs, as well as facial massage techniques, and any other skin treatments you perform. Recruiters will scan this section quickly to make sure your talents match those of the job requirements. Create a mix of those and your soft skills such as customer service and communication, since you not only develop personal relationships with clients but also may need to explain home care follow-ups to them. 

See a resume sample for the skills section below:

Example
  • Strong Customer Service Skills
  • Anti-aging Procedures
  • Acne Treatments
  • Chemical Facial Peels
  • Excellent Communication Skills
  • Makeup Application Skills
  • Body Waxing

Resume Templates and Formatting

An aesthetician is trained in the aesthetic of skin, but you also know the importance of general aesthetics. A first look leaves a lasting impression. Your resume has to capture the attention of hiring managers with a clean, professional look.

We offer resume templates in four categories: Professional, Modern, Simple, and Creative. Choose the style that speaks to you. If you lean more toward the beauty side of being an aesthetician, consider going Creative, however, remember that recruiters and hiring managers are scanning quickly, so keep it legible. Don’t overdo the personalization and keep color to an attractive minimum.  Make sure your personal data, job titles, and section headings are easy to find. 

One last bit of advice: Proofread! No one gets everything right the first time around and you don’t want to give a recruiter an excuse to toss the resume you worked so hard on.

Get started now, and you’ll have your new job in no time!
