The beauty industry is not for the faint of heart, some days working in the industry is more like living in a nightmare episode of one of the infamous Housewives shows. Oh, your co-workers will grin strong and wide, revealing their pearly whites and perfectly plumped frown lines; they will call you endearing names like "sweetie" and "honey" and they will beg you to attend the latest holiday party but truth be told they aren't much different than the back stabbing overpaid drama queens of reality T.V.
The good news, well at least for you estheticians, is you can avoid it because you are in the treatment room most of the day. Estheticians are healers, and most estheticians that I know, or have known go into this business to pamper and heal their clients. The one thing that isn't synonymous with estheticians is DRAMA, but unfortunately estheticians can be sucked into the drama filled spa industry if they aren't careful.
Here are my tips for avoiding Tacky SpaWives from infiltrating your spa life:
(1) Avoid anyone with negative energy.
(2) Do not engage in gossip.
(3) Your co-workers are just that, co-workers, keep work and friends separate to avoid future drama.
(4) Do not participate in after hours bar outings.
(5) Keep yourself constantly busy even in down time; busy=no time to be sucked in by negative gossip queens who want to take you down with them.
(6) Do not add your co-workers to your social network pages.
(7) Never talk about your boss with your co-workers--it never leads to anything positive.
(8) Stay positive-stay happy--
(9) Always maintain professionalism
Remember, a true professional is above this type of immature and unprofessional behavior...do not get sucked into this childish behavior, it will do nothing for you but bring you down to their unprofessional level. You are better than that, hold yourself to higher standards than what your co-workers hold themselves to.
