BuzzFeed spoke to Destanie who said she always felt like being an esthetician was the perfect job for her."Building up the confidence of my clients, making them feel pretty, and getting to connect with new people. Fresh out of school I had so much hope for my future.
The worst part about working on commission for a spa like the one Destanie worked at is that the commission was her salary."I had so many clients per day who were paying around $300-$400 for one treatment, yet I was barely making my rent," she said.Destanie worked at several different spas over the years and for a big spa corporation.
"He then proceeded to recommend we question our clients by asking them things like, 'How does your weight/body/skin make you feel' and 'What have you actually done to help yourself?' to try to trigger emotions out of women to make them commit to buying packages. I literally cried that day because as a woman we all struggle with insecurities and for someone to use that to make a sale is just evil.
● A good beauty professional creates a plan for you based on your goals, budget, and time restraints. If you can’t afford to get facials every six weeks then a great esthetician will help you find an at-home routine that allows for less frequent visits to the spa.
