Im so tired of being a Esthetician.

Its constant anxiety. Will I make my rent and bills. Its a constant hustle and physically draining. When I first started there was none of these cheap franchise places and I worked at spas where you were paid well. Now its so draining to go to a job where you may have 2 appointments and you only get paid 25 to 27 an appointment 🙄 the owners are not therapist and want you to do a 50 minute facial and sell products when you only have 2 minutes to flip the room. Rebook but yet they end up giving the people that rebooked with you to other Estheticians. Then they expect you to get a bunch of new client memberships and do it all over again. These franchise places have to go. The owners are not massage therapists or Estheticians but they try to tell you how to sell, how to prebook and how to upgrade services. They don't pay you anything hourly expect you to just sit around, they over hire and everybody sits just waiting for appointments without any compensation. If I do go out and market myself they still try to give the clients to others therapists. The clients act entitled and its only a cheap franchise. Maybe I'm just done. I have worked at high end spas, hotels and franchises and it seems spa therapists are treated poorly.
