Oh, The Woes Of The Spa World....


I'm sure that the economy has affected us all to some point by now, unfortunately in my tiny little bit of the world it's hit hard. As you all know what I do isn't something that people NEED rather it's something people want. So the first thing families begin to cut back on are the type of services our spa offers. I mean when you think about paying the water bill or getting a facial I think flowing water is going to win every time. We still get clients in for the 'necessities' such as brow and lip waxes but that, my friends, isn't going to help me pay my water bill! I haven't posted in forever simply because there isn't anything to post. Unless you want to hear about me counting the ceiling tiles or packing on 5 pounds because I don't have anything else better to do than eat, damn you Las Palmas. It's scary to think that I just spent $9,000 for an education that unfortunately I might have to set aside to take a job that I can actually make money doing. I've been perusing Craigslist and such and there aren't any esthy positions, but I have noticed an increase in rooms available to rent. Well, yeah..who can afford to pay backbar costs, advertising, and room rates when the clients aren't there anymore. Hopefully my employer won't start making cutbacks to staff. I'd be out on my duff because I don't have the loyal clientele that our other esthy brought with her. So before long I might be asking if you want fries to go with that shake. Estheticians Unite!!
