In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk we are joined by Eva Borges, who shares her professional experiences working as a Black esthetician and discusses how skin color plays a major role in proper treatment protocols, skin care education, and our daily lives. We discuss the impact of what it is like for clients of color to be treated by an esthetician of color and what effect that experience has on a client’s confidence. There will always be areas of improvement and progress to be made within the skin care industry, and it all starts with a conversation. But as Eva says, “you can’t just be about it, you have to take action.” We hope that this episode inspires you to be a little more open, a little more vulnerable, and to have conversations that encourage us all to grow, prosper, and make this industry an even more beautiful and inclusive place.
About Eva Borges:
Eva is a licensed esthetician in the state of Massachusetts. She completed her esthetics training in 2016 at the Elizabeth Grady School of Esthetics, and shortly after began her career working for a board-certified cosmetic surgeon who specialized in treating various ailments of the skin. During her time there, Eva obtained certifications in Fraxel DUAL, Clear & Brilliant, Isolaz, and VI Peels. For the past four years, Eva has been working at a brow bar. With a strong passion for shaping eyebrows, she currently serves as a lead sales esthetician and trainer. She absolutely loves doing what she does every day and thrives on her ability to change a person’s face through brow shaping alone. Her future endeavors include getting certified in permanent brow makeup, and she hopes to eventually launch her own brand one day
