Pros

50% Product Discount Product is good

Cons

Just a sad, not good place to work. I notice Skoah responds to reviews here always happy about good reviews and then in denial about the bad ones. That’s a good example of what it’s like working for Skoah. I stayed less than 1 year, and I lasted longer than a lot of others. There are a couple of employees that last for whatever reason but they make it so you hate your job. Andrea and Chris have to be the greediest two people I’ve seen. Everything is about dollars. Giving good facials doesn’t matter, being a hard worker. Just if you sell. I was even a good seller and it was bad, your worked to death if you sell good, and if you don’t you don’t get to work. The company policiy change all the time, they are always out of product. They do online sales that cut into your own sales but get mad if you aren’t selling. They barely ever bring in new product so everyone has everything, and there’s nothing to sell. If you are a new esthetician stay far away from this place, they use you and abuse you. Don’t get stuck there it’s very bad for the self-esteem.. You shouldn’t support this business and shouldn’t work there. If people stopped applying there they would fail. Think about it.

We appreciate the comments as a route to learn more. Thanks for sharing. At all times at skoah, we love to hear product ideas and also suggestions for improvement. In fact 2 of the new products launched recently were based on krew member's ideas. But it's a great reminder to do more asking for ideas. Thank you. We are sorry to hear your experience wasn't in line with some of our other krew member's over the years. We'd certainly be open to hearing your ideas for improvement if you'd like to send them to feedback@skoah.com.

Pros

-You can build up your skill set with facials -Easy to build clientele -Facial based and good to gain Hydrafacial experience -Tips

Cons

-MANAGEMENT. They hound and micromanage you so bad and terrorize you with passive aggressive text on your days off, If you don't sell product your hours will be cut and you will be put on a plan. Even if you sell more on other days. -You only get 10% commission on product sales but only if its their first time buying the product so if you have repeat clients you're not getting commission when they re-up on products that they've bought already which directly lessens your pay and you're pressured to sell them new products they might not even need. -Hours cut even if you're full-time. So pay checks are really inconsistent. And you find out your shift the day you work. NO work life balance whatsoever -Owner and manager want you to suck up to them and be their pet. -Unfair treatment between employees. -Owner has NO knowledge of the Esthetics industry. -Cleanliness is not a priority at the Houston location. -Will have to perform a lot of massage as an esti, including feet, and its not very clean. -Body aches from long hours -No benefits
