      Pros

      the girls you’ll make trauma bonds with

      Cons

      Working at Skinney Medspa was one of the most disappointing and demoralizing experiences of my career. This place thrives off a culture of manipulation, toxicity, and desperation. Employees are constantly pressured to text clients from personal phones to make sales. Commissions are “lost” in accounting, or mysteriously revised in favor of the house. Paychecks rarely reflect actual hours worked, and questioning management results in retaliation or thinly veiled threats about your job security. It’s systematic, deliberate, and exploitative. Management—if you can even call it that—relies on a rotating door of underpaid employees turned “team leads” who are given just enough power to turn on each other. Instead of fostering growth or mentorship, they pit staff against one another to hit impossible sales goals, then shame or isolate those who fall behind. Gossip is encouraged, gaslighting is routine, and HR literally does not exist. In terms of the day to day as a technician, protocols are often bent or outright ignored to squeeze in more appointments, which leaves you scrambling trying to juggle 3-4 clients at once. Machines are often uncalibrated, reused without proper sanitation, and operated by overworked providers who’ve been given minimal training. A dangerous combination that has resulted in various lawsuits. Ultimately, skinney medspa is a toxic, dangerous, and unethical workplace masquerading as a luxury service provider. Do not work here unless you enjoy being underpaid, manipulated, and blamed for everything that goes wrong in a broken system. oh and you will leave here crying more often than not.

      Pros

      Working at SKINNEY was truly an incredible experience. From day one, I was welcomed into a positive, fast-paced, and supportive environment where both personal and professional growth were genuinely encouraged. I've never worked at another medspa that provides so much training in sales, the technology and overall hospitality. - SKINNEY has the most updated, innovative medspa technology in the entire nation. If you truly want to learn how to use different (competitive) modalities (morpheus8, sofwav, coolsculpting)without being a NP, PA or doctor, this is the place to learn. -They have a huge following and clientele so you are always busy and not waiting around to find clients. Very easy to make sales, and they pay great. -Lots of perks (frequent outings, various pop up locations, discounts, health insurance, PTO)

      Cons

      - Fast paced, NY style. This job is for people who really want to grow and care about being part of a team that is building something incredible together. If you're looking for a slow paced, boring environment this is not for you. - Have to have some experience in beauty/sales&product knowledge.

      Pros

      The only “pro” here is the solidarity you find with some of the girls who are also going through the same exploitation and abuse. It’s a small comfort in an otherwise toxic and unethical workplace.

      Cons

      Skinney Med Spa is hands down the most unethical and toxic workplace I have ever seen. The founders are allegedly in a lawsuit with their own staff for YEARS of wage theft, and instead of fixing the problem, they forced all of us to sign papers agreeing to let them keep stealing from us if we wanted to keep our jobs. It’s appalling and deeply disturbing. There are NO real benefits here. Unless you consider a facial or laser treatment—which has to be preapproved and is hardly worth it—there’s nothing. It’s a total scam. Management is fake, favoritism is rampant, and they’ll fire you for no reason. I spent years here giving it everything I had, only to realize I was stuck in a nightmare of Stockholm syndrome. The environment is pure toxicity. They flaunt their fake lifestyles on social media while they overwork and underpay the entire staff. Everyone is miserable and underpaid, just trying to use this place as a temporary stepping stone to escape. This is not a job—it’s a trap. Skinney Med Spa will drain you, exploit you, and spit you out without a second thought. Do NOT waste your time here. Find a workplace that actually values and respects you. You deserve so much better.
