The money is there. Customers are willing to and do part with it. These spas are busier than you think and busier than they tell you. If they weren’t making money, the spas wouldn’t be there and they wouldn’t be able to keep talent. Don’t let them fool you. They all plead poverty and tell you business is lousy and they don’t have any customers. Then when you go, they are suddenly busy and tell you something stupid like “you brought us luck”. And, “Everytime you come, many customers come”.
Visit one of these spas that gets no business often enough to see how often they restock supplies. Some easy math will tell you they are rolling in the cash. Look how many and how often they buy water bottles, paper towels, Saran Wrap (industrial size) and no they don’t have that many left overs they need to cover and put in the fridge.
It’s comical the BS they think we believe.
