Hi I currently own a small day SPA where I currently employ one other Esthetician/Lash Tech.
I need some advice on how to structure salary correctly and fair.
I take entry level estheticians and I am a new SPA less than a year. We have been using groupon and social media to advertise and because of the competition and popularity of groupon as the new way for people to try different services for so much less I really have no option.
Because I take entry level without any following I am currently paying $10/hr flat and the also make tips.
I have felt that is a fair compensation since I am giving a great opportunity for someone to be able to get out in front of clients and build their client base and also since I am currently taking in very little for services with having to draw new clients through groupon and such it seemed to make the most sense to me.
We provide, Facials, Hydrotherapy, Eyelash Extensions, Body Wraps,etc...
I appreciate any feedback/opinions/recommendations/experiences anyone would like to share.
