you need to have the money first.. then get all the equiptment you need after you buy the place or have a place to open it up… just make sure you know what your doing

I don’t know the details, but The Salon Professioal Academy offers an esthetics program that I am hoping to take in the next year. I believe they teach you management and salon owner info. Keep me in mind if you do open it up; I would love to work with you!

first figure out how much money you need then triple it. Draw up a business plan that a bank will look at and possibly give you a loan.( even if they don’t, talking to the loan officer will tell you if you have a viable plan, or what’s wrong with your plan)

Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you’ll inevitably have as well as many you haven’t anticipated yet.
— National Cosmetology Association — International Spa Association — Day Spa Association — The Salon Association — Professional Beauty Federation — The National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences (NACCAS)

HI there good luck but first you need to study hard. You will need to do course to get fully qualified, beauty therapy, manicure, and you will need to do a course on aromatherapy. if and when you do these course and you need some help just ask me I am fully qualified ( been doing beuty since I was 15 and have owned salons since I was 18 ) It may be easier to buy a small salon witha therapist already there.. Oh and another thing you will need to learn is waxing as you can make some extra money in the salon… good luck
