“In recent years, the number of Spas and Clinics requesting graduates with both Massage Therapy and Esthetics licenses have increased ten-fold. Dual certification in Massage Therapy and Esthetics can definitely give Professional Estheticians a competitive edge in today’s Spa Industry. You’ll have clients seeking therapeutic massage coming to you; clients seeking facials coming to you; and those seeking both for a special treat will also come to you. Dual Licenses create a win-win scenario for the Esthetician and Client.”
– Harmony Morgan, Director for Healing Hands School of Holistic Health – Laguna Hills.
Why You Should Consider a Dual License in Massage and Esthetics
Today’s consumers are looking for a complete approach to health, beauty, and preventative self-care. This shift has triggered massive employment growth for both massage therapists and estheticians. If you want to stand out in this competitive market, holding a dual license is the best way to do it.
Higher Earning Potential & Stability
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, massage therapists earn higher median hourly and annual wages ($57,950 per year / $27.86 per hour) than estheticians ($41,560 per year / $19.98 per hour), alongside typically higher tip percentages. By combining both licenses, you can optimize your schedule, keep your appointment book full, and maximize your income. Furthermore, being able to offer both services makes it much easier to hit the necessary hourly thresholds to qualify for full-time employment benefits like health insurance.
Unmatched Value to Employers & Spa Owners
Spa owners are always on the lookout for versatile talent. Being able to effortlessly switch from a massage table to a facial treatment makes you far more valuable than a single-specialty practitioner, instantly giving you a competitive edge in job interviews.
Faster Growth and Less Burnout
Dual licensing allows you to build a loyal clientele twice as fast by introducing your skincare clients to your massage services. Just as importantly, it protects your longevity in the industry. Shifting your physical movements between skincare and bodywork breaks up the monotony of the workday and helps prevent the physical burnout that often cuts wellness careers short.
Our 600-Hour Massage Therapy Program
Fortunately for Estheticians, Healing Hands School offers a 600-hour Massage Therapy Program that takes less than 7 months to complete. This Program includes a comprehensive exploration of the Body’s bones, muscles, and physiology as well as exposure to both Eastern and Western Massage Modalities. Just as important, all students receive hundreds of hours of hands-on practice, ensuring their competency as Practitioners. For aspiring students who are currently employed, Healing Hands offers the flexibility of daytime, evening, and weekend classes. In this way, Healing Hands ensures that anyone seeking an education in the Holistic Healing Arts can pursue their desire.
