Pay varies by the specialist's experience and the range of services they provide. The number of customers they attract and hold also affects wages. In addition, pay varies by how much customers tip. Some skincare specialists receive a portion of money from the products they sell. In some salons, employees are paid bonuses for bringing in new clients.
Some salons offer benefits for full-time employees. These may include sick leave, paid vacation, and health insurance. However, many skincare specialists work part time. These workers must provide their own insurance.
