Which of the following roles can an esthetician take on in a salon?

1. Manager

2. Receptionist

3. Cosmetologist

4. Hair colorist

The correct answer is: Manager

An esthetician can take on the role of a manager in a salon primarily because this position typically requires strong organizational and interpersonal skills, which are essential for managing staff, maintaining client relations, and overseeing salon operations. Estheticians, through their training and experience in the beauty industry, often possess a thorough understanding of both client needs and the services offered, enabling them to effectively lead and ensure high standards of service. In a managerial position, an esthetician can utilize their knowledge of skin care, client preferences, and latest beauty trends to influence service offerings and improve client satisfaction. Additionally, having an esthetician in management can contribute to a more cohesive environment where the technical aspects of skin care treatments are appreciated and understood at all levels of salon operations.
