Happy holidays all,
Banging out my business plan at present and am currently pondering the thought of employing an Aesthetic Practioner/Massage Therapist as there will be two treatment rooms. The business would be offering advanced facials as well as massage. I know what it's like to not be paid a dignified wage and could not ponder even doing that, I want the best and want to offer an appropriate wage to reflect that. I have thought about calling up similar business to ask the hourly wage...but thought against this as I don't think they would appreciate this from a potential competitor...which brings me here!
I've not worked in an aesthetics clinic here in the UK and would love to know what hourly wages you've seen in your experience and what appears to be the average.
I would ideally prefer to pay a handsome hourly rate OR pay a lower rate (most likely £9.50-£10.50) for the time they aren't doing a treatment/unbooked/booking cancellation, and offer 10% commission to this lower rate when they are doing a treatment (average treatment is £75.00 ph)
For some more context I would want someone with more experience, someone when I'm away from the business (like holiday) I can have confidence that they would step in with operating the business when I am not there.
Can't wait to hear your opinions/experiences!
