Massage Envy Jobs are very controversial. While they do usually have many job openings, there is another side to working at a Massage Envy. You can be more successful and even make a career out of Massage Envy when you change your perspective.
Massage Envy Franchises are popping up all over the place and are one of the few places that are still hiring in this economy. They offer a low cost massage and use a membership system to offer their services to communities. The problem is that entry level pay starts at $12-$15 an hour and if you are trying to make a living and support a family it will be hard to make ends meet at that rate. They count on you being able to make tips from clients. The best way to increase your value at a place like this is to start thinking of it as more than a job.
Here are some tips for making the most tips at Massage Envy:
- Know how to do deep tissue massage - yes really know. If you just took a weekend workshop in massage school that usually isn't enough. Take a week long or a few months long training to become proficient in deep tissue massage.
- Learn how to do an efficient intake while people are actually on the table as you begin your massage. Find out what their needs are and address those first. My first Massage Envy experience I told the guy 3 times that my leg was in pain and he proceeded to work the whole hour on my back and then the last 5 minutes he worked on my leg which wasn't enough of course.
- Learn how to educate clients about what massage can do and how coming regularly can help reduce stress and improve their overall health.
- Give the absolute best massage you can give each time. You want every client to get off the table and say Wow!
