Posted on: April 19, 2014
As a massage therapist, it is your job to talk to your clients and help them when they are experiencing pain and other problems. If you are shy on the job, this can hinder your ability to perform the way you need to. When you think of a skin care specialist, you do not think of someone who is introverted or will shy away from conversations. You actually think quite the opposite. If you are an esthetician and struggling with being shy, consider the following tips to better overcome it.
Talk to Your Client
One way to reduce your shyness around your clients is to have a conversation with them. Simply sparking up a conversation or two will help you learn about them and them about you. This will help clear the air and the two of you will feel relaxed and comfortable.
Question Time
As a skin care specialist, you already need to ask people questions, but you may be afraid to do it. Start out slow and then work your way up to a full blown conversation with the person. As the two of you answer each other’s questions, you will get to know each other better.
Self-Judgment
One thing that many people tend to do is judge themselves too much. If you are constantly thinking about what you will say, what they will say, if you are dressed well enough, then you need to rethink the way you view yourself and learn to stay on the positive side of things.
Manage Anxiety
If you have any type of anxiety, then you need to manage it. Your anxiety may be brought on from being in a public place and this is normal for some people. You will need to be able to manage your anxiety so others do not see it.
Be Confident
Another tip to getting over shyness means you must have self-confidence. If you lack confidence in yourself, you will not be able to perform your job correctly and you will begin to fail at it. You may lose your patience, stop listening to clients, or recommend the wrong treatment.
It is important to find yourself a medium ground and then begin working on your shyness. If you are not confident and you back away into the shadows, your clients will find somewhere else to go. Be the best skin care specialist you can be and start winning women over today.
