Listen "Rant With Me: This Ain’t Temu, Babe"
Episode Synopsis
In this unfiltered solo episode of Rant With Me, Leslie is stepping behind the mic to vent about a reality every medspa owner knows all too well—clients walking in with Nordstrom expectations and Temu budgets. You know the ones: the clients who want curated skincare plans, perfectly placed Botox, and advanced laser treatments but flinch at anything over Groupon pricing. Leslie breaks down why these expectations are not only unrealistic, but insulting to providers who have spent years training, certifying, and investing in their craft.
“Our costs aren’t just syringes and serums—it’s degrees, licenses, and the liability of your face.” This quote is the heart of the rant. Because this industry isn’t about slapping on a mask or injecting a quick fix—it’s about real anatomy, real safety, and real outcomes that take education, experience, and precision.
But Leslie isn’t just calling out the clients—she’s calling us in as providers, too. She urges fellow medspa owners and injectors to stop getting stuck in the cycle of feeling guilty for charging what they’re worth. Get your head out of your client’s wallet and into the treatment chair. Focus on delivering the best possible care, using your knowledge and skill to elevate their experience—not discount it.
This episode is a love letter to the legit providers doing things the right way—and a bold reminder that being good at what you do isn’t cheap, and it shouldn’t be. If you’ve ever been frustrated by unrealistic client expectations or pressured to lower your prices just to compete with the unqualified injector down the street, this episode is for you. Tune in, vent with us, and walk away feeling fired up to protect your worth and your practice.
