In this episode of Beauty Talk Confessions, Kati breaks down the exact supplies you need when starting your own esthetician business.

Drawing from her own experience opening a waxing studio and later expanding into facials, she walks through the must-haves that actually matter—from your treatment bed and wax setup to the small details that elevate your client experience.

Kati shares her go-to essentials for waxing services, including tools, products, and setup tips that help protect your body, stay efficient, and deliver better results. She also covers the additional supplies needed to confidently transition into offering facials, including towels, tools, and in-room upgrades that clients love.

Beauty Talk Confessions is a podcast that goes beneath the surface of the beauty industry. The stories, the struggles, the identity shifts, the healing, and the grit behind the glow.

 

Hosted by Kati Wasserman, esthetician, business owner, and product developer, each episode features real, raw conversations with beauty professionals, founders, healers, coaches, creators, and clients who have lived the truth behind beauty.

 

We talk about:


•⁠  ⁠identity and reinvention

•⁠  ⁠confidence, comparison, and self-worth

•⁠  ⁠the emotional and unseen side of beauty work

•⁠  ⁠entrepreneurship and the messy middle

•⁠  ⁠aging, wellness, hormones, and internal beauty

•⁠  ⁠success, failures, pivots, and the lessons that shape us

 

There’s no filter here, just honest conversations that remind us beauty is personal, powerful, and deeply human.

 

Whether you're in the industry or navigating your own relationship with beauty, Beauty Talk Confessions will make you feel seen, supported, and inspired to show up as your most authentic self.
