I hit 200 facials in one month and almost quit the next day
Last December I did 200 facials in 30 days. My hands were cramping by week two and I couldn't feel my wrists by week three. The money was great (like $8k take home) but I had zero energy for anything else. Has anyone else pushed that hard and regretted it, or am I just not cut out for the volume?

My best friend actually did something similar last year with dermal fillers instead of facials. She booked 150 appointments in a month and by week three her thumbs were locking up so bad she couldn't open a water bottle. She made like $7k but spent half of it on a hand specialist and massages. She told me she cried in her car after a 11 hour shift because her fingers were just stuck in a claw position. She quit doing high volume after that and only takes like 10 clients a week now.

... that story about the claw hand made me wince, I had a similar thing happen but with my elbow after I spent a whole weekend sanding drywall on a renovation job and couldn't straighten my arm for three days.

... 200 facials in 30 days is wild... that claw hand thing from paige's story reminds me of how people just push through pain because the money is there, but your body always catches up eventually. It's like how everyone I know who tried to work 60 hour weeks for a big bonus ended up burned out and spending half of it on doctor visits or recovery stuff.
