For estheticians and waxing specialists, client care doesn’t end when the service is over. The aftercare products you recommend—and more importantly, the ones you use in your treatment room—play a huge role in both client results and studio revenue growth.

The good news? Retail sales don’t have to feel “salesy.” With the right strategy and the right product line, your clients will naturally want to take home what you’re already using on their skin.

Why Retail Sales Matter for Estheticians

Retail sales aren’t just about extra revenue—they’re about building client trust and loyalty. When you recommend products that support their results:

  • Clients get better skin between services

  • They see you as the expert and trusted advisor

  • They return more consistently because they’re invested in results

  • You create an additional, reliable income stream for your business


The key is choosing products that are professional-quality, effective, and affordable, so clients feel confident in their purchase.

Start in the Treatment Room

The best way to boost retail sales is to let clients experience products firsthand during their appointment. When you apply a serum or oil directly after a wax or sugaring service, you’ve already started the conversation.

✨ Example: Use Smooth Operator Pads after a Brazilian wax to calm the skin and reduce ingrown risk. When your client feels the instant soothing effect, it’s a natural opportunity to say:

“This is what I recommend for at-home care—it will help you stay smooth between appointments.”

✨ Example: Finish services with PRO 8oz Nourishing Oils in your treatment room. Clients love the hydration and light scent, making it easy to suggest a retail-size bottle for home use.


Choose the Right Products to Carry

Not all products are created equal. The line you carry should:

✔ Be backbar-friendly (sized for professional use)

✔ Offer retail packaging for clients to take home

✔ Be made with trusted, effective ingredients

✔ Align with your brand’s price point and client demographic

✔ Ship quickly and be easy for pros to order

That’s where Just The Strip stands out. Created by a seasoned esthetician with nearly 25 years in the industry, every product was designed to meet both treatment room needs and retail demand.
