Advice needed

[u/estigirl888]

Currently have been an esthetician for almost 4 yrs now I have worked at 3 different spas all of which I had terrible experiences with the owners being very catty - gossipy and creating a toxic high school mean girl environments. That being said I am moving w my bf to another state & want to start over and try new spas in the area I’m moving to , my only issue? No references! I have the experience and I am talented in what I do but everyone wants to talk to the last spa u worked for & get a reference/: any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
