Damara-Day-Spa

I worked at Kelowna Damara Day Spa for about two years, and it was an absolute pleasure! The management team is amazing; supportive, organized, and always encouraging. The work environment is fast paced but incredibly positive, making every day enjoyable. The team dynamic is fantastic, with friendly and professional staff who create a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere.

They uphold a high level of standards for the spa industry, ensuring top quality service and a professional environment. The benefits were great, with competitive wages, room to grow, and lots of opportunities to advance. Overall, this was my favourite job, and I highly recommend working here to anyone looking for a rewarding and enjoyable workplace in the spa industry!

Was told when I applied to put my two weeks notice in to my current job or they wouldn’t give me shifts even though they told me they would work around my schedule until I got my first pay cheque to make sure I was making enough to make rent. If you’re on the good side of the receptionist then you will get all the services. But if you aren’t they will change your bookings last minute and make sure no one books with you. Coworkers were super awesome but the management very obviously doesn’t know what they are doing. They don’t give you procedures so you just have to guess and make sure you’re doing it the way they want. I would strongly recommend going elsewhere or if you do work here I would recommend getting a second job cause this place sucks. They only pay hourly to a select few favourites. So be careful. 

Loved working at Damara Day Spa in Kelowna! The team is super supportive, and the atmosphere is really positive. Management is great at communicating with staff and always makes sure everyone feels valued. They also try to provide as much training as possible, which really helps with growth and confidence. Some days can be really busy, while others are slower, but overall, the workload is manageable. 
One downside is that the spa is open 7 days a week since it’s in a hotel, so the schedule can be flexible but sometimes varied. Also, being downtown means parking can be tricky. But overall, it’s a wonderful place to work in the spa industry in Kelowna.

We did not get schedules until the night before and they always changed. 
Most weekends were 12 hour days
No paystubs unless repeatedly asked
"Doesn't pay overtime because of covid" even though still very busy and open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Unappreciative support and poor management.. no management that lives in the same city.
This is a stressful, high paced job with no room for mistakes, unless you  want to be criticized on every little thing you ever do.
Hires untrained staff members that get thrown in and expected to be perfect from the start.
Also very questionable cleaning protocols that ACTUALLY get followed

- wanted you to perform treatments on first day- without knowing the skin care line
- one line is active medical grade- 
- you get your schedule for the following day the night before 
- was told I wouldn't get paid for training, then when I did - the owner shorted my pay.
I had to text her several times.  I said it was illegal to not pay for training.  Owner was incredibly rude and said : "I think I know the law better than you".  Very condescending lady.  Then on phone tried to attack me for not wanting to use a skin care line that I was just learning on my first day on clients.  
Still owed money

I enjoyed working as an esthetician at Damara Day Spa inside the Delta Grand Hotel. The clientele was great, gratuities were generous, and the compensation was rewarding. I also appreciated the employee discounts on products and services. Everyone was very helpful specially when i was running behind with client.  Overall, it was a great experience—I only left because I had to move to another city.

Never guaranteed income, hectic, unorganized, poorly managed all the way up to the president of the company. High turn around on staff, rude, no customer service. Over all worst job I've ever had and I left on "good terms" . Honest review. The pay is grotesque. We went to school to be paid minimum wage? Don't think so. 

I worked at Damara Day Spa for a month and a half between jobs. That was my plan from the beginning and it was nice of them to give me work for that amount of time. I learned that management was shifting and currently not ideal.  My times spent there was two years ago, things probably have changed.

The owner Shuranda is a pleasure to work for. She always finds a way to make you feel appreciated. The rest of the team is always there to lend a hand. I always leave work feeling awesome and grateful for my job.

Worst job ever. Rude management with extremely poor work ethics. Multiple employment law violations. Low pay with a lot of pressure and inadecuate expectations. No wonder there is a very high staff turnover.
