Starting out as a self employed beauty

[MUA]

therapist. Should I buy what products I can afford (basic brands such as cuccio) and wait till I earn more money to buy better brands or....
.... take the plunge and invest in opi ect??

Thanks everyone

Well it depends on how you want to brand yourself. I would rather offer less treatment and have a good quality range then too much choice. Think of the Gordon Ramsey hotel nightmare re vamps , he says less choice better quality.

I honestly think people pick you by brands some times some people won't come to you just cos you use gellish and not shellac... I have come across this a lot starting my business. For example
Unfortunately I couldn't afford (and didn't want to) get a expensive facial brand in as I wanted to be sure facials would be popular but I'm glad I didn't as I'm more nails and lashes (saying that if I did get a better brand in I would have more people come in)
Iv had 2 people ask what brand skincare do I use and they both haven't got back to me as of yet. Sorry if I'm making no sense.
But basically I think 100% for skin care I would get a 'known brand' in I don't think people mind what brand they have for manis and pedis. Oh and a good lash brand also if you do them!
