How much does a esthetician make? Hourly?

How much will I earn as an esthetician?

As in any profession, you work your way up the pay scale.

The four determining factors are:

1. Location

2. Quality of the salon and the expertise of the owner/management.

3. Whether you are the one to launch the esthetic department, taking over an experienced person’s established clientle, or starting your own clientle in a place which is expanding.

4. Your skills and reliability.

A salary should be given in order to guarantee a steady income while building a clientele. After your clientele is established, you will make a better income when you switch to commission. The commission on the services may start at 40% and go up gradually as you gain experience. The products you sell will give you additional commission. The amount you will make will fluctuate with the seasons. Some estheticians start off as low as $20k per year and a good experienced esthetician makes $60k or more per year. Some places will have benefits, but not all.

Estheticians generally don't make an hourly wage, they're paid per service they provide, so how much money they make depends on what they do during their shift. Good luck!
