Thesis

Running a salon is a complicated job involving business knowledge, interpersonal skills and cosmetology techniques.

Why this Is Important to Me!!!

Cosmetology IS what I always loved to do… I have Been doing hair for a very long time. I would like to start a business that will be very successful but also able to help people that do not have as much money for some of the services that are offered

Why I think this Is Relevant to You….

Its very important to know what you are getting yourself into when are going to a business that has to do with cosmetology. Beauty is apart of everyone's life style. Appearances is very important to everybody. Letting someone that you don’t know touch your body and being in your personal space and trusting them not to harm your skin, hair or any other part of your body, it is important to know if this place is clean, sanitized and professional.

Pros- when a stylist finally builds up his/her cliental and brings in $500.00 dollars in one week then I get half of what they made and my salon would have brought in $250.00

Cons of that is if I was to pay my stylist $200.00 and my stylist on had two clients and only made $170.00 on there own (commission) then I would lose 30 because because no matter what they get $200.00
