Set a budget, ask for a week free and expect to work hard to profit!
Marketing yourself is part of being a successful salon professional. Although most salons offer benefits or amenities, ultimately, building clientele is up to you.
Salon suites offer little support, go into these spaces with caution, and make sure you can manage your own beauty business, first.
Suites may provide large furniture, sinks and shampoo bowls as well as laundry. Equipment, product and client management in suites is 100% up to you.
