“I only used
a little retinol.”
“Define a little.”
She looked at the ceiling. I put down the towel.
Apparently, we were about to negotiate the meaning of “last night.”
I was just trying to do a facial.
Then she started talking.
An appointment. A confession. An invitation she probably should have questioned.
Follow Veronica through funny, borderline-believable adventures that begin in her esthetics suite and follow her into her clients’ complicated worlds. Come for the juicy part. Stay because you need to know what happens next.

A tiny taste of the tales to come. Fictional preview concepts, with just enough trouble to keep you curious.
“Define a little.”
She looked at the ceiling. I put down the towel.
Apparently, we were about to negotiate the meaning of “last night.”
Her eyes were closed. The mask was on. Her phone lit up.
“If that’s my husband, I’m not here.”
I hadn’t asked who it was.
“Could you come to the house next time?”
I asked whether she had somewhere I could set up.
“Of course. Just don’t use the front entrance.”
JET Michel is the author pen name behind Juicy Esthetician Tales™. The stories draw on an esthetician’s eye for skin, people, and the moment an ordinary appointment takes a very unexpected turn.
Meet Veronica: a skilled esthetician, a trusted confidante, and a woman whose curiosity occasionally gets ahead of her good judgment. Her suite is home base. Private appointments, special occasions, and professional training open doors into lives far more complicated than the consultation form suggests.
Her world grows one connection at a time, from familiar faces close to home to out-of-town encounters and, eventually, adventures abroad. The humor travels with her. So do the secrets.
Woven into the fiction are real skincare insights, thoughtful treatment decisions, and professional details estheticians will recognize. You might come away with a better question to ask about your skin. You’ll definitely have questions about her clients.
JET is a creative storytelling series. The preview tales are fictional, not accounts of identifiable clients. Lessons are educational and do not replace individualized professional or medical advice.
Lights low. Story on.
A raised eyebrow. A private invitation. A familiar voice somewhere it shouldn’t be.
Future readings and short video episodes will follow Veronica from treatment-room surprises to unexpected adventures beyond the suite. Hear her private thoughts, catch the clues, and pick up a little skincare wisdom along the way. Just when you think you know where a tale is going…
Be first to hear when the tales begin, when a new episode drops, and when that cliffhanger finally gets its next chapter.
