I didn’t just choose to be a part of this industry but I set goals for myself once I receive my license. Before I become a salon owner I have to prepare myself for the responsibility that comes with it. One of my friends offered me a position at her salon after I obtain my certificate. This is the perfect opportunity because I’ll be able to see firsthand the responsibilities of being an owner, and I will still get the experience of paying booth rent.

With eight or more salon chairs, hair stylists are able to rotate amongst stations, take more than one client within an hour, based on hair needs, and maximize on potential income. A key tactic for stylists is to inform customer of the products used in their hair, so that they may even purchase them upon checkout.
