I left the spa industry about 5 years ago. I was ready to work for myself when I couldn't stand the mundane, almost robotic way most spas operate & never sway from their routine; or, god forbid, take and extra 15 minutes with  a client! When I left the spa I was working at, all of my clients came with me, some of whom I still see regularly.

To be clear, I respect my clients and that trust and respect is mutual. I don't offer any "special ending" services or anything weird. I'm a skin care therapist, and foremost a healer. 

I also noticed (Especially in Texas) that, many spas, do not offer services to "overweight" or "LGBTG" people. For a number of ignorant reasons, all stemming from people who are too afraid to color outside the lines. 

I've known some female therapists that won't massage a male, & I understand why, but at the same time, when you put that vibe out there, that..."everyone is a creep" vibe...well, that's what you're gonna get. I have never had a bad experience with any client, typically in "that" type of way. 

 Skin is skin, if you don't want to work the anatomy of every person, then why practice massage therapy or waxing at all? I'd rather get to know who the real person is, I love that my job allows me to have some really awesome and unique friendships with people I might not have met. Everyone gets a chance to show their true colors, it's easy to find an asshole, you can spot them a mile away. Seeing the true beauty in people takes compassion, skill, and a whole hell of a lot of patience. However, I have found that it';s totally worth it.
