Meet Allison! 

Meet Allison Buzulchuck, Maine's own beauty boss and the brains behind Aesthetics by Allie! With 16 years of experience under her belt, Allison isn't just an esthetician—she's a confidence booster. Having battled acne herself, she knows firsthand the impact clear, healthy skin can have. That personal experience ignited a passion for helping others feel their absolute best. While Allison offers a range of services, she's a true whiz at Brazilian waxing, empowering women to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. Always eager to share her expertise, she's even planning to launch Brazilian waxing classes for fellow estheticians. As a proud Bushbalm Pro, Allison swears by their Premium Hard Wax and Ingrown Oil for delivering top-notch results. For Allison, it's all about empowerment, authenticity, and helping everyone shine from the inside out.

What inspired you to become an esthetician 

My own struggle with acne and a lifelong mission to help people feel beautiful inspired me to pursue this path. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved being a “hype girl,” and now I’ve turned that passion into a career. 

Why did you decide to start your own business?

I was tired of being told how to do my job and how to care for my clients. I wanted the freedom to make my own choices and create a space that reflected my vision. It was time for me to spread my wings and take control of my career.

What is your favoiorte service to perform and why?

Brazilian waxing is my favorite! I love helping women feel confident and comfortable in their bodies. It’s especially rewarding when clients come in feeling self-conscious but leave laughing, empowered, and excited to return.

Tell us about the biggest challenge you've faced while running your own business. How do you cope?

The biggest challenge has been managing my time and setting boundaries while still keeping clients happy. It’s a delicate balance, but I focus on maintaining a healthy work-life balance to protect my peace while providing excellent service.

What business goals have you set for yourself this year and how do you plan to get there?

This year, I aim to offer more Brazilian waxing classes to estheticians who want to enhance their skills. I’m planning and scheduling these sessions to make them accessible and impactful.

What is one business tool that you can't live without?

The Bushbalm Premium Hard Wax! It’s a game-changer for my services.

How and when did you discover Bushbalm? Why did you choose to carry us?

When I opened my business, I reached out to several companies, and Bushbalm was the first to respond. I was immediately drawn to how open and relatable the brand is—especially their willingness to talk about women’s bodies without stigma. Plus, the natural, effective products were an added bonus.

Which Bushbalm product is most popular at your salon? Why do you think that is?

The Ingrown Oil is hands-down the most popular! I use it after every service, and clients see the results, which keeps them coming back for more.

What do you enjoy most about the Bushbalm Pro community?

The sense of support and open communication within the community is incredible. It feels great to be part of something so uplifting and collaborative.

What advice would you give to new estheticians entering the field right now?

Education is everything! Invest in your knowledge and focus on the aspects of the industry that truly ignite your passion. That’s where you’ll thrive.
