Is Your Skincare Backed by Science or TikTok? ft. Ron Robinson
If you haven’t learned by now that viral ingredients don’t guarantee great skin, this episode will teach you (with science you can’t deny). In this episode of Esthetician Unlocked, Elaine Sterling sits down with Ron Robinson, cosmetic chemist, Founder and CEO of BeautyStat Cosmetics and founding cosmetic chemist behind Rhode, to separate skincare science from some very expensive marketing. From stabilized vitamin C and hyperpigmentation in melanin-rich skin to beef tallow, exosomes, sunscreen and the skin barrier crisis, Ron brings decades of formulation expertise to a beauty industry that could use fewer miracle claims and a lot more clinical evidence.

The Business Skills Estheticians Were Never Taught ft. Jazmyne Mims
Here’s a truth every esthetician needs to confront: Your technical skill gets you licensed, but it’s your business acumen that keeps you paid. In this episode of Esthetician Unlocked, host Elaine Sterling sits down with Jazmyne Mims, Business Development Manager at Hydrafacial to talk about the business side of aesthetics that too many professionals are never taught. They cover everything from how to sell without sounding salesy and how to lead without becoming everyone’s best friend to how to evaluate devices beyond the price tag and why HydraFacial’s closed-loop system still matters in a crowded market. Jazmyne brings a sharp, real-world perspective from working across 165+ accounts, and she does not sugarcoat the gap between owning a business and actually knowing how to run one.

Stop Running Your Spa Business by Memory ft. Daniela Woerner
Your spa business should not collapse the second you need a day off. Unfortunately, many do. In this episode of Esthetician Unlocked, host Elaine Sterling sits down with Daniela Woerner, Founder and CEO of Addo Aesthetics, to talk about the operational chaos hiding behind so many successful-looking beauty businesses. Daniela reveals why spa and salon owners keep running six and seven-figure businesses from memory, what an AI employee actually means, why systems protect the client experience and why “just because you can doesn’t mean you should” might be the most important business filter you ever use.

Brushes, Beauty & the Business Behind It All ft. Anisa Telwar Kaicker
A brush is not just a brush. And if you can buy 50 of them for $10, Anisa Telwar Kaicker has questions for you beyond just the brushes. In this episode of Esthetician Unlocked, host Elaine Sterling sits down with Anisa, Founder and CEO of Anisa International, to talk about what it takes to build a global empire. She gets into the importance of cosmetic brush quality, ethical manufacturing, leadership evolution, philanthropy and why beauty professionals need to understand the tools they put in their hands. Anisa also reveals how a chance opportunity became a global beauty business, why quality beats cheap volume and why sometimes the smartest move is walking away from something good so you can protect what matters most.

Clean Beauty, Biotech & The Future of Skincare ft. Krupa Koestline
Beauty marketing loves a shiny ingredient. Krupa Koestline loves a formula that actually makes sense. In this episode of Esthetician Unlocked, host Elaine Sterling sits down with Krupa Koestline, award-winning cosmetic chemist and founder of KKT Innovation Labs, to talk about clean beauty, custom formulation, biotech ingredients, what melanated skin really needs, exosomes, salmon sperm and why skincare brands need to stop pretending one product can do everything. Krupa brings the science without the scare tactics, the skepticism without the snobbery and a very clear reminder: ingredients need context.

Skincare Is More Than a Side Hustle ft. Kathy Walton
Skincare is not the cute little add-on at checkout. It is the foundation of the client relationship, the result, and the margin play. In this episode of Esthetician Unlocked, host Elaine Sterling sits down with Kathy Walton, CEO and Founder of Inspira Skin, to talk about her 25 years in aesthetics, private label skincare, client education, TikTok trends and why slapping your logo on a bottle does not magically build a brand. Kathy gets into why providers need to stop thinking in one-off treatments and start building complete client journeys that include skincare, education, trust and a real plan.

The LA Facialist on Beauty Hype & What Actually Works ft. Candace Marino
Trends, client orders, and the latest machines didn’t build Candace Marino’s reputation. Her hands-on authority did. In this episode of Esthetician Unlocked, host Elaine Sterling sits down with Candace Marino, founder of The LA Facialist in Beverly Hills, to talk about building a skincare business on authority, customization, retail and actual hands-on skill. Candace gets into why she walked away from HydraFacial, why clients need what their skin requires (not just what they ask for) and what building true expertise outside of Instagram posts actually takes.

Stop Abusing Retinol: The Microbiome Conversation ft. Dr. Tiina Meder
The beauty industry has spent years selling bigger and stronger everything - higher concentrations, more actives and “better” results. But Dr. Tiina Meder asks: at what cost? In this episode of Esthetician Unlocked, host Elaine Sterling sits down with Dr. Tiina Meder, dermatologist, cosmetic safety expert and founder of Meder Beauty, to unpack the microbiome, the rise of sensitive skin, the overuse of retinol and why safe skincare is not “less advanced” skincare. Tiina gets into peptides, probiotics, barrier health, brand education, the gut-skin-brain axis and why estheticians need to stop confusing aggressive with effective.
