In major cities, you may help clients get beautiful skin at a day spa or hair salon. Each day may bring new client requests your way, from age-defying skin treatments and color-correcting facials to clinical skin peels and mineral makeup.

Job growth for Utah estheticians is on the rise. The job outlook is optimistic.
