Side by side
Massage therapist jobs vs working for yourself
Most massage therapist jobs listed in the UK are salon, spa or clinic roles on a fixed hourly rate and a house split. Listing your own practice changes four things.
- Your rate
- In a job: Set by the salon, the same whether you're fully booked or not.
- Working for yourself: You set it, and you raise it when demand says so.
- What you keep
- In a job: Typically 50–60% after the house split.
- Working for yourself: 100% of the fee, minus a flat monthly listing.
- Your clients
- In a job: They belong to the employer and stay when you leave.
- Working for yourself: They contact you directly and follow you.
- Your hours
- In a job: A rota someone else writes.
- Working for yourself: An availability calendar you control.

The honest version
A job pays you a share of your own work
Someone else sets your rate
Salon and spa roles fix your hourly rate regardless of how good you are or how loyal your clients become. Independent therapists price their own work — and raise it when demand says so.
The commission never stops
A 40–50% split is standard in salon work. On a £100 treatment that is £40–£50 gone every single session, forever, on clients you treated and kept.
The clients are not yours
Build a following inside an employer's business and it stays with the business. Build it against your own listing and it follows you wherever you work next.
The rota owns your week
Evenings, weekends and back-to-back doubles are set by a manager. Working for yourself, your availability is a calendar you control.
Who it's for
Built for independent therapists
Mobile therapists
You already travel to clients at home or in hotels. A location-tagged listing puts you in front of the people searching for exactly that in your area.
Specialist therapists
Treatment-specific searches are the highest-intent ones we see. Clients look for the treatment first and the person second — so list the treatment.
Clinic and room-renting therapists
Renting a room but relying on walk-ins or word of mouth? A profile that ranks fills the gaps in your diary without a booking platform's cut.
Newly qualified therapists
No client list yet is the hardest part of starting out. A findable, professional profile is the fastest route to the first twenty regulars.

Frequently asked questions
Listing your practice on TantusLux
No — TantusLux is not a job board and we are not an employer. We are a UK directory where independent massage therapists list their own practice. If you want employed salon or spa work, a job board is the right place. If you want to work for yourself, this is.
It's free to list at the moment. There is no commission, no booking fee and no per-enquiry charge.
Create your free listingNever. Clients contact you directly and pay you directly. Whatever you charge is what you keep — we only ever charge the monthly listing fee.
Yes. Mobile and outcall are among the most searched terms in the UK, and your profile can be tagged to the areas you cover so you appear on those location pages.
See mobile massage locationsTreatment searches are consistently the highest-volume terms on the site. Listing each treatment explicitly is what gets you found for it, rather than being buried under generic 'massage'.
No. Newly qualified therapists are exactly who benefit most — you need to be findable before you have a client list. You will need your qualification and public-liability insurance in place before we can verify you.
Government-issued photo ID, your massage qualification, and current public-liability insurance. Mobile therapists visiting clients at home also complete a background check. Nothing goes live until all of it checks out.
