Today we're chatting with Aliesh, a licensed esthetician with twenty years in the treatment room. She was voted Best Esthetician by Philadelphia Magazine in 2024, she is a textbook author, and she worked as a makeup artist for the Obama family during the first presidential campaign.

In this episode we discuss the Fitzpatrick scale, what it means to be truly inclusive, and where our industry still has work to do.
