1) Why Clients Hesitate

Objections usually come from social media misinformation, fear of irritation, or a past experience with an untrained provider. Your role: calmly educate and demonstrate professional standards.

2) “Is Dermaplaning Safe?”—Your Best Answer

Yes—when performed by a licensed, properly trained professional. Use sterile blades, follow professional protocols, and assess skin each visit. Emphasize controlled, chemical-free exfoliation with immediate radiance.

3) Myth: “Will My Hair Grow Back Thicker?”

No. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair at the surface and does not alter growth rate, color, or thickness. Hair may feel different initially due to a blunt tip—but it’s not thicker or darker.

4) Safety & Sanitation That Build Trust

  • Single-use or properly sterilized tools
  • Skin suitability assessment each session
  • Unrushed technique with barrier-first approach

5) Consultation Script: Acknowledge → Educate → Visualize → Reinforce

Acknowledge: “Great question—many first-timers ask this.”
Educate: “Dermaplaning is a gentle, controlled exfoliation.”
Visualize: “Think of it as creating a clean canvas—products and makeup glide on beautifully.”
Reinforce: “I’m certified and perform this service daily.”

6) Turn Objections into Opportunities

Questions signal interest. Respond with empathy, explain your steps, and invite them to try a conservative first session with clear aftercare and a rebooking plan.

7) Show Proof: Photos, Videos & Testimonials

  • Before/after photos every 4–6 weeks (with consent)
  • Short technique clips to demystify the service
  • Client quotes about smoothness and makeup wear

8) Handle Price Objections with Confidence

Clients want clarity, not discounts. Frame value around safety, expertise, and customization. Offer series or combo plans (e.g., dermaplaning + enzyme/LED) for commitment-based value.
