A Journey
Three Decades in the Making
An
interview with Beth Cardarelli, founder of Avery Graham Aesthetics
By Kimberly Bobson Feldman
Beth, how did your journey to Avery Graham Aesthetics begin?
Avery Graham got started after I was an aesthetician for a short period of time and realized that I wanted to differentiate myself. Shortly after that time, clinical products were becoming popular; this was about 30 years ago and things were really all natural or very harsh. When patients with problem skin would come in there was really no in between, you were either doing something that didn’t work or you were doing something so harsh that gave you hope for a few days and then their skin would become too dry and difficult to manage.
I was one of first five aestheticians in the Philadelphia area. We had no mentors, no guidance, no mapped out journey – nothing. We had to create our own vision. That is how my journey began, which led to becoming a clinical aesthetician, the owner of Avery Graham, our product line, and now, Avery Graham Aesthetics, our Philadelphia flagship.
As my career continued I realized that it was very difficult for aestheticians to become successful with very few mentors, classes to begin your career, advanced tools to learn peels and lasers, or any culture to help. Aestheticians can create their own special journey with patients or clients in the world of aesthetics. This is where the next chapter of Avery Graham really started.
As one client says, I’m the love child of Glinda the Good Witch and a mad scientist. I’m a Whole Foods girl and a curious mad scientist all wrapped up in a luxurious cashmere blanket. I like to curate each level of skincare and treatment to be a divine and innovative experience, like baking an organic decadent seven-layer cake topped with beautiful flowers, igniting all your senses with incredible results.
How did you get into product creation?
I decided to combine several products that I liked into one product, adding organic grapefruit extract, and salicylic and glycolic acids to make my own concoction. That is how my first product started. For a long time that was my only product and then slowly I added my clarifying toner and a moisturizer and my Active Glycolic Serum. It is still the same active glycolic serum as it was 30 years ago!
We blend pharmaceutical reparative ingredients with natural botanical and plant extracts, and each product is curated in a special lab designed for clinical excellence. I was very young and very lucky to be introduced by my mentor to a lab that understood my vision and help me create Avery Graham and make my dream come true.
What is your favorite Avery Graham product?
My favorite treatment is our Trifecta Resurfacing Peel! It’s a custom peel that I created for patients as well as aestheticians. One complete treatment has many layers starting with Dermaplaning, Trifecta Resurfacing Peel (Glycolic, Salicylic, and Cherries) which covers all concerns and leaves skin bright, resurfaced, and firm.
What are the challenges that come with product creation?
It might sound like an easy task making your own products. The easy part is that most of my products were designed and curated for clients who had specific problems, like my mother, who suffered from teenage and adult acne for a long time.
There are many challenges that come with creating such an epic vision. It’s never easy, but always worth the end result. You must be a person who can climb all the mountains for long periods of time. You will get there, but it’s not for the faint at heart! I still pinch myself that this is what I get to do each day.
Can you share the philosophies behind your products?
Components of clinical science married to mother nature’s decadent
You must be a person who can climb all the mountains for long periods of time. You will get there, but it’s not for the faint at heart!
discoveries!
I believe in scientific evidence and in the innovation of science, but I am also a very holistic organic person who is dedicated to wellness, meditation, and creating an environment that makes you look and feel good.
The best way to differentiate yourself is to have a skincare line that really works, is clinically superior and also combines the aspects of wellness, good health, and nature to blend them together. This is the entire premise of Avery Graham.
Why is mentorship so important in this industry?
One of the reasons I started Avery Graham Aesthetics is because I wanted to guide new aestheticians that were growing or didn’t know how to grow. I wanted to instill a foundation of entrepreneurship, courage to make your own way, and to be a guide to help them learn how to do so many of the things that I had to learn all by myself through trial and error.
What has been the most rewarding part of this labor of love for you?
I started taking care of patients as a little girl as a candy striper at The Hospital of The University of Pennsylvania, where my mother and grandmother both worked. I knew then that connecting with people, patients, and families was incredibly rewarding and that is what Avery Graham’s commitment is to each person we have the privilege of caring for. When I first started I thought, “If I can take care of one patient and make the, feel happy about how they look and feel, maybe they will share that with their friend, daughter, mom, and neighbors. And that is exactly how it grew…one patient at a time with integrity, dedication, curiosity and lots of love.
How have you incorporated personal touches into your business?
Avery Graham was my great grandfather’s name, so that adds a divine nod to an honorable and beloved man. I also create all of the floral arrangement in our lobby, and people always comment on them!

Makeup Trends EMERGING
An interview with Victoria Roggio of Victoria Roggio Beauty
By Kimberly Bobson Feldman
What are some of the emerging makeup trends we can expect to see?
Some of the trends that we are seeing currently is the no mascara look, that focuses on the actual makeup and not the intensity of the lashes. Super high intense blush and colorful mascara, think the 80's are back.
What are your must-have tools?
Beauty blender, Rephr brushes are my go to when it comes to performance and how incredibly they work with any textures of makeup.
What classic makeup looks never go out of style?
Au naturale makeup looks, think glowing skin and beautiful monochromatic tones for eyeshadows, lips, and blush, Winged liner and a bold red lip "Old Hollywood Glam '', Smoky eyes are always timeless with perfectly executed glowing skin.
Where are the best places to discover new makeup trends?
Paris Fashion week for more editorial inspiration and of course TikTok (I am not a huge fan of it)
What advice would you give makeup artists looking to rise to the top of the field?
Practice as much as you can, assist an established makeup artist that inspires you, participate in any test shoots, I think youtube and online classes are such a great way to keep learning. There is always continuous education for beauty which I love.
What are your clients most requested makeup looks?
Natural Glowing look, a timeless beauty or smokey eye.
What are the best ways to learn makeup artistry? (i.e. school, practicing on your own, etc.)
Online courses, watching youtube tutorials of world famous makeup artists such as NIkki Makeup, Danessa Myricks, Patrikta, Hungo Vango, Lisa Elridge, Ali Andrea Makeup, Makeup by Mario, practicing on friends and family as much as you can, also following your favorite makeup artists on Instagram & all online platform. I think makeup schools teach you the basics and there is so much more to know and learn, it is a constantly emerging industry.
One of the trends that we are seeing currently is the no mascara look that focuses on the actual makeup and not the intensity of the lashes.

EMBRACING Human Touch
In an AI World
By Sash Moreaux
As the CEO and Founder of a small-batch, handcrafted skincare line and Skin Studio with two locations, I increasingly rely on AI. However, as a maker, I always remember that maintaining the human touch and slowing down are essential and should never be overlooked. Transitioning into the era of artificial intelligence (AI) requires maintaining a human touch within your business. By infusing empathy and emotional intelligence into your work, you can create an environment that not only fosters but also sparks innovation. Showcase your true self and utilize
your unique strengths for enduring success in a competitive setting. Enrich your mission and values with emotional depth, similar to enhancing tea with honey, to amplify appeal and authenticity.
Balancing AI and Human Interaction
Collaborating with AI offers benefits, yet the significance of a personalized human approach in customer service cannot be overlooked. While AI efficiently handles routine tasks, emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in establishing genuine connections with customers and nurturing long-lasting relationships.
Embrace the rapid progress in AI technology while recognizing the invaluable importance of human interactions. While AI excels in swiftly processing data, the human touch stands out through problem-solving abilities combined with compassion and dedication. In content creation, AI provides speed, but blending human creativity and emotional richness enhances your content, deeply resonating with your audience.
Crafting a Resonant Brand
Narrative
Craft your brand's narrative like a skilled storyteller, intertwining your fundamental values and mission with a human touch that resonates profoundly. Striking a balance between AI efficiencies and the innate human touch is essential for maintaining a competitive edge. Allow AI to streamline operations while infusing your work with human warmth to yield impactful out-
comes. By embracing AI's transformative potential in marketing and cherishing human connections, you can produce content that is not only intelligent but also heartfelt.
Authenticity, values, quality, and storytelling remind customers that your brand is human-driven, embodying authenticity. It's acceptable to slow down in a fast-paced world; in fact, it is necessary. Here are three ways you can cultivate a strong customer base, leverage AI, and still maintain a human-centered approach in a technologically driven world:
1. Share Your Story Repeatedly Customers appreciate understanding the “why” behind your business, the emotional significance, and aligning with your core values. This encourages like-minded customers to support a brand they resonate with.
2. Utilize AI with a Personal Touch Use AI in areas like email marketing, but infuse your personal touch into the emails. While AI can help craft precise wording, ensure it retains your voice.
3. Show Your Face
It may feel vulnerable and unfamiliar, but displaying your face online and expressing your passion for your business is essential. Be present in reels and videos at times; people want to connect with the person behind the brand. Embracing the AI era doesn't mean sacrificing the human touch. By
seamlessly integrating technology with genuine human interactions, you can create a dynamic, innovative, and empathetic organization that stands out in today's competitive landscape.

HOWDY, PARTNER!
Solo and mobile estys may want to consider “partnering up” with local, like-minded businesses.

An Esty’s First Year Journey Aug
This month, Sofia shares her experiences with esthetics education.
How did you go about choosing your esthetics program?
When choosing an esthetician program, I looked into multiple schools before I made a decision. Since I was paying for a school out of pocket and I was only 19 at the time, cost was one of the biggest deciding factors. While there were programs I researched that were cheaper, they didn’t have as many practical hours and they didn’t have great reviews. The school I chose was more costly but I heard nothing but amazing reviews, they had over 300 practical hours and the professor was absolutely amazing.
What factors should aspiring estheticians look for in programs and courses?
I say look for these top three factors. One, how many practical hours you’ll receive. Practical hours is when you actually practice and work with clients or your peers doing services. Yes, the
theory class is important because you learn the scientific and anatomical process of skincare, but in order to feel confident in your abilities, practical hours are a must. Factor two is the cost. Especially for younger estheticians who have a hard time receiving financial aid, I would definitely look into the cost and if it’s within your budget. Lastly, make sure you speak to alumni or current students to get a feel for how things work. Make sure it’s a positive environment and that people speak highly of the program itself.
What did you find to be the most beneficial part of an esthetics education?
The most beneficial part of an esthetics education was the practical hours. While I enjoyed my theory classes and they taught me the scientific portion of esthetics, the practical hours helped me become more confident in my abilities. While working, I also felt I retained more of the information I was taught
because I was putting it into practice. I am also more of a hands on learner, so it just helped with my comprehension.
Once you decide on an esthetics career, why is exploring educational opportunities helpful?
Exploring educational opportunities is helpful because not only does it keep your mind fresh with information, it also helps expand connections. Those connections can be utilized in the future to help build your business.
What is the value in continuing education (i.e. seminars, online courses, trade shows, workshops) once someone has launched their career?
Once you get your license, every two years or so you have to renew it via continuing education courses. These courses are beneficial as they allow you to keep up with any changes in esthetics and keep your mind refreshed with information, in case there’s a portion that you might have forgotten. Going to trade shows also allows you to meet fellow estheticians and see the developments in skincare. Of course, with technological advancements, skincare is always changing, so by allowing yourself to continue your education, you can keep up with any new devices or treatments.
Hey everyone! Thanks for keeping up with my journey! -Sofia
Esthetician Spotlight
Lorena Tapia Flores Acne Edit
What is your business called and where are you located?
My name is Lorena and I’m the owner of Acne Edit, which is located in Modesto, California.
Can you give a little information about your background as an esthetician?
I became a licensed master esthetician in the state of Washington in 2020 where I practiced for two years before making the move to Central California. I reopened my business early 2023 with a brand-new focus, acne. I rebranded into Acne Edit and have been mastering my craft ever since.
What inspired you to become an esthetician?
I have always been a lover of all things beauty so when I left my previous career, I knew that I wanted to pursue my passion that I had been neglecting for so long. I just didn’t know exactly what that was. I enrolled in beauty school
in hopes of becoming a lash artist, but within that process I fell in love with skin and its complexities. The rest is history.
What beauty philosophy do you stand by?
Self-care isn’t trendy, it’s vital. Prioritizing long term healing is more beneficial than quick fixes, especially when it comes to your skin. Self-care encompasses every part of your being, it’s more than just a facial.
What is your favorite treatment?
As an acne expert, I definitely have to say chemical peels. There is a peel for every condition and for every level of expertise. They are super transformative and I love being able to cocktail
and formulas on the market but if you aren’t consistent, you won’t see the results that you’re hoping for. Long term consistency will always beat short term intensity.
What are your favorite tools to use in the treatment room and why?
them to create the perfect formula for each individual client. Every transformation in my resume has included chemical peels in one way or another.
What brands do you use and why?
The main lines I use are Face Reality, Vivant, Lira Clinical, and BioSkin. I have been able to tailor these four lines together to treat every form and every grade of acne. The Lira Clinical and BioSkin back bars cover most of my treatment protocols. Face Reality and Vivant cover my retail shelves for customized homecare routines.
What is your secret to beautiful skin? Consistency. You could have the perfect in-clinic services with the best tools
My Preston Extractor is my most prized possession. Noninflamed acne extractions are a breeze with this tool. It’s able to fully remove impurities without damaging the skin and it makes the extraction experience more comfortable compared to other methods.
What is your favorite part about working for your company?
My favorite part is seeing the changes in people. Not just the changes in their skin, but watching them blossom into the best versions of themselves. I see people become brighter, bolder, more confident. And that’s a gift that an esthetician will cherish forever.

Treatment Follow Up
Ombre Powder Brows
After our editor, Kimberly, ventured into the world of permanent makeup with ombre powder brows, she wanted them to last as long as possible. Permanent makeup does fade with time, with maintenance touch ups recommended every one to three years. Everything from lifestyle to sun exposure to skin type and texture can impact the longevity of permanent makeup.
Following the advice of her brow artist, Adriana Torres of Enchanted Eyes, Kimberly was able to make it two years until a touch up was needed. Adriana recommends advising clients on the following steps to prolong the life of their ombre powder brows:
1. Be diligent with the aftercare routine
2. Avoid excessive sweating
3. Limit swimming in pools and oceans
4. Carefully use skincare with retinol or certain acids
5. Keep brows moisturized!
