On average how much does an person who gives facials, eyebrow waxing, body treatments..ect make??

so i hated my first year at college. i was an elementary ed. major and knew from the start it wasn't for me. I love being creative and have always wanted to go into a field that i could incorporate something with it. My parents stress the importance of having a 4 year degree but i'm being stubborn because i know for what i want to do you don't need one. In compromise i'm going to get a 2 year degree in business and i'm hoping to go to the aveda institute. I would like to see my self one day working in a spa and eventually using my 2 year degree to help open up a small shop. I need advice on my ideas and plans. also possibly the average of what an esthetician makes and some successful ways others have gone about this.!! help please!!On average how much does an person who gives facials, eyebrow waxing, body treatments..ect make??
It depends on where you work. A few places are strictly salary, although it's mostly medical esthetics. Most spas are either straight commission on services and product sales or salary plus commission. In that case, you determine how much money you make. Depending on where you live, esthetician jobs may be in short supply, so you may also want to look into nail tech (in my state it's the same hour as esthetics and high end places are always looking for nail techs) or straight cosmotology if you have an interest in hair and color.On average how much does an person who gives facials, eyebrow waxing, body treatments..ect make??
You are not being ';stubborn';, you are being stupid. Cosmetician is a dead-end job that requires working evenings and weekends. On average they make $24,000 per year and never get past the $50,000 a year (the most!) mark throughout their entire lives! You will still have to become licensed/.
I've heard of estheticians making good money (don't know the numbers, sorry) but it's dependant on where you work and the clientele, because you're making the big money on your tips, not your paid wage. So basically get your contacts going already if you want to get into someplace with generous, rich clientele!
