How do I become a Day Spa General Manager?
Some Day Spa General Managers have worked their way up from therapist to this position, or from being a receptionist to this position.
You would need to learn on-the-job, all aspects of the running of the spa and have experience in this field before you can move up the corporate ladder.
Some training in beauty therapy will help, while training in hospitality management would be extremely advantageous. You can do some of these courses through colleges near you.
For more information – look under Beauty Therapist on our website.
