I'm not sure why the beauty industry is currently engaging in a race to the bottom. It seems mad to me, rather like a certain outspoken person on this thread who charges £15 for an hours work ( her staffs time) then says there's no money in this industry!!!!
Ok, how to earn a good living:
1 be great at what you do. Practice non stop until you are a total expert.
2 charge properly. Don't worry about the benefit bandits charging thruppence. Charge to actually make a living.
3 hold your nerve, and don't EVER discount.
I have seen two recessions as a hairdresser, lots of my friends and competitors have lost their salons. I'm still standing, as packed busy as ever. There's no magic to it.
