Pros

Clients make it worth the while Most of the time management is decent when we have a manager. The pay is great.

Cons

Huge turnover rate because the owners don’t care for managers, the owners also show favoritism to different locations. If we don’t have a manager because the owner ran them away from their selfishness, we are practically, literally running the place ourselves (regular front desk, aesthetician and therapists) if we run out of something for the spa(detergent, tissue, taking linens to cleaners because they waited months to get us a dryer that actually worked), we have to wait months to get it or go out and buy it ourselves with our own money. It’s ridiculous. Even customers are starting to see the negligence. Just look up Massage Heights Matthews reviews. So many people come in angry because they want to cancel and can’t or they already canceled (I’ve witnessed a client sign her cancellation form) and come in two months later because she’s still being charged but the owner saying she didn’t when I actually saw her sign it with the other manager, who also doesn’t work here anymore. So many managers have breakdowns because of how selfish the owners are and how much they put on one person for multiple locations.

Pros

My franchise owner was incredible and worked very hard to make our location a great place to work. They spent a ton of time making sure the front end had amazing sales training (their own practices, not corporates), and recruiting some great therapists to work for us. We had to operate sort of “on our own” since corporate provides little to no business support.

Cons

The corporate team is collectively one of the most ineffective in the industry. They refuse to change or look within to see why their market share is shrinking as opposed to growing. These franchises are closing more and more, and the corporate team doesn’t seem to see that nobody wants to do business with them. Most of the higher ups are related to the founders, and the rest of the team doesn’t seem to know what they’re supposed to be doing. Our revolving door of Franchise Business Consultants just kept spinning, most of the time, without us knowing! We can never get contacted back from corporate with real issues when they arise. They shifted onto a truly miserable new CRM in 2016 which was an unmitigated disaster which they never really took credit for. The only thing they seem to be good at is deflecting any and all blame back on their owners. To see how my franchise owner was treated by then disgusts me. It honestly makes me happy that this brand is flagging, because they’ve not done anything to grow. It’s very clear that competing brands are dominating this market. Massage Heights is on its way to being a brand with locations in TX, FL, and Canada before you know it. They offer no ROI, and I would recommend fleeing as quickly as possible to Hand and Stone if you’re seeking to open a membership-based business such as this.
