Hi there

I am currently a volunteer at a Wellbeing Centre which allows me to practise my skills until I can get a job. Although at the grand old age of 43 I am not holding out much hope. I have a VTCT level 3 in both Swedish Massage and Indian Head, Reiki Level One and Hot Stones Certificate. I recently went for an interview at a high end salon in my area and was told that my massage wasn't up to their standards and am currently suffering for a dent to my confidence. I have been volunteering for nearly a year and although I am only there one day a week that day is always full and I have built up quite a loyal clientele. I went to have a massage after it so I could see where I might have gone wrong. Now the massage I received last 55 minutes and didn't cover the chest, the face and the neck when lying supine. I on the other hand tried to fit in everything, I didn't manage it in the hour I ran ten minutes over. I have never worked in a salon so I don't know etiquette only what I was taught in my course. In trying to fit in too much am I sacrificing quality? Is it better to just do the basics and any problem areas and not worry if you miss out on the face etc. HELP I know I am rambling any comments welcome
 
Hi M

Welcome to Hp!

Leaving college and going into the big wide world can be a shock, but don't let bring you down. It takes a while to find your own way of doing things and develop a treatment & clinical philosophy.

As for so called 'high end' salons, they often bang out routines and the clients just end up as lumps of meat on the chopping block for 55 minutes!

Your suggestion about focussing on treatment priority is a good one. To treat the whole body in exactly one hour can't be done properly. I would always check the neck to see it needs massage, as I consider this important, even if the client says it's OK. A lot of clients don't like their belly rubbed. Some don't even like their feet touched, but they love head and facial massage. You can alway suggest (don't push the subject) to the client they may benefit from a 1.5 hour treatment.

When times get bad, remember:

Massage is a craft underpinned by science, not the other way round
It is a real privilege to massage another person
Massage is care not cure
Touch is compassion in action!

Best Wishes

RP
 
Thank you very much I appreciate you taking to time to respond to me. I am off to work on Tuesday and I pick myself dust myself down and start all over again lol.
 
Hello maisie,

Welcome To Healthy Pages, it seems to me that some salons have lready got their staff earmarked, i know the hairdressers i go to onlt take on anyonw who has trained in their other shop,
