Getting out of a commercial salon is one of the biggest steps you can take as an esthetician. There are plenty of spots to rent a small space and experience a taste of running your own business.
Salon suites are the way to go if you’ve already established a clientele and want a more private space. Usually, these suites are in a larger business that rents out space to a variety of health and beauty experts.
Even though you may dream of a space totally your own, salon suites are the perfect spaces to build your brand. Once you’ve established your business, then it might be time to move into a traditional salon of your own.
Fed up with working for someone else? Salon suites are the next best thing to owning your own shop.

The beauty industry is an ever growing, diverse field that offers an array of services to a number of people and groups. As this industry begins to grow and expand, specialized groups have begun to form, such as Oncology Estheticians, that allow the beauty industry to be tailored to the needs of those with special conditions.
Today we will review the compassionate background of oncology estheticians and what separates them from your normal provider.
At the root of it, an esthetician is a person who provides skincare services to individuals looking to improve or maintain the health and wellbeing of their skin. An oncology esthetician provides the same care but on a specialized level, catering to those who are currently in a battle with cancer, as well as those who may be recovering from the side effects of their triumphs.

The beauty industry can be such an amazing career choice where creativity and a love for appreciating the beauty of people is allowed to thrive. Unfortunately, sitting under the thumb of a corporate salon can take the fun and spontaneity of being an esthetician, leaving you to feel drained, unappreciated, and underpaid.

Let me tell you a little secret: the love of the work doesn’t pay the bills! As entrepreneurs, we know that there are plenty of easy ways to waste time and energy for no payoff. Usually, you spend your early years as an esthetician working for someone else.
