The spa industry has experienced tremendous growth in the past decade. At a global spa summit in 2007, industry leaders predicted an annual growth of 40 Billion US Dollar.
There is a great demand for trained massage and spa therapy professionals worldwide especially in those countries, which experience growth in their hotel industry such as the Middle East and Maldives.
Spa therapists are experts in pampering and full-body beautification. The term “spa therapist” may be used to describe anyone who works in a day spa, health spa, spa resort or other type of spa settings.
Spa therapist may also refer specifically to an individual who performs treatments that are only provided in spas and luxury salons. These spa therapies include body wraps, body scrubs, therapeutic baths and many other luxurious options for mind and body wellness.
Get certified at a recognized spa school in Indonesia and get a few years experience in a day spa or hotel spa before you think about going abroad. Certification is important if you want to work in places like Europe in order to get a work permit.
Spa therapist salaries vary widely depending on training, experience, and the type of spa where you work. Basic salary can be anywhere between USD 350 – USD 650. The more types of treatments you know, the higher the salary. You may receive a basic wage plus tips. Or you may receive a percentage of the fee for each service you provide or service charge plus tips.
