Hi all! I never thought I would be in this prediciment, but I have 3 current job offers on the table, and possibly one more coming in the next day or so. Since I'm only looking for part time, I think this is why all these doors suddenly opened for me. I left my FT job at Ulta for a part time job in a different field, and I'm looking for a PT skin care job. My question to you is how do you choose where to work? I have made a chart listing the pros and cons of each place, but I'm still torn and afraid of making the wrong decision. The basic breakdown (I'm only listing 3 I'm considering, 1 I have ruled out) is as follows:
Scenario 1 = 50% commission + tips, free hair care. Only 1 facial room and a full time esthetician, so would only be able to schedule around her. They do have a microdermabrasion machine, which I've always wanted to learn.
Scenario 2 = a VERY well known salon in my area, with a huge community presence, 47.5% commission, but it's a no tipping salon, so I feel I could lose 10-20% right off the top there. The good part is the advertising, traffic and they have 2 rooms, so I could have my own room and schedule when it worked for me. 40% discount on hair services.
Scenario 3 = a medical spa, so no hair services at all, but they do LED therapy, medical grade peels, and they are looking into IPL, all things I really want to learn. They have 2 rooms and 1 esthetician as of now, so I could schedule when it worked for me. 40% commission to start, but they do accept tips.
I think what I'm torn about is I really want to learn the medical grade stuff, but I'm afraid I won't build as fast there as I would in either of the much busier hair salons. Any thoughts/advice from seasoned pros would be much appreciated!
I have a solid offer from 1 and 3. 2nd interview with 2 scheduled for Thurs am.
HELP!
