Meet Esther Molina | Esthetician / Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Esther Molina and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Esther, why did you pursue a creative career?
I have always been obsessed with skincare. I decided to open SkinIQ Miami to help others reach their skincare goals with customized treatments and education. All facials start with a skin analysis and we offer treatments tailored to individual needs. It’s a wonderful feeling to see a client’s confidence renewed after just 1 facial!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My company was born of a pandemic prompted epiphany. Like many of us, the pandemic forced me to stop and rethink what was next. I knew I did not want to continue in the corporate world, and that had a drive to reconnect with my passions. To dedicate my time and energy to the things I believe in most.

I believe that skin care is self-care, and is most impactful when it becomes a practice. A ritual, done consistently with care and dedication. I believe that beauty comes in any age, color and size. I believe that beauty glows from within. I also believe that the more you know the better you will be. All these beliefs brought SkinIQ Miami to life.

At SkinIQMiami, I want to empower you to care for your skin like you never have before. As your esthetician, I will give you the knowledge and the tools you need to create a customized skin care routine for your skin, which you will perform at home and we will upkeep during your visits. Your take home skin care routine will be simple to ensure you can do it daily, as well as effective so you see results quickly. Some of the treatments we offer in our office are diamond-dermabrasion, hydro-dermabrasion, oxygen infusion therapy, radio frequency, micro-current, micro-needling and LED light therapy. We offer a variety of quality products for your facials, including an organic skincare line that is safe to use during pregnancy. You don’t have to incorporate a 15 step skincare routine, but you do need to be consistent in your routine and ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS use sunscreen!

I am still learning and overcoming this massive shift in my career each day but I am fortunate to be surrounded by loving and supportive friends and family that uplift me each time I begin to doubt myself. I want the world to know, it’s okay to be whatever version of yourself you want to be, as long as, you’re kind to yourself and others.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Miami has world class beaches but it’s so much more! There’s Wynwood, the Design District, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Bal Harbour, Key Biscayne, etc…each neighborhood has its own particular flavor with amazing dining, shopping and site seeing. I would also include some type of boat ride, the view from the water offers a completely different perspective of the city – it’s spectacular day or night.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Boost Women’s Group run by Luly B has been instrumental in encouraging and supporting SkinIQ Miami. It consists of a diverse group of female entrepreneurs who meet both virtually and in person to share ideas, offer moral support and keep you motivated & accountable.
