As a freelance beauty therapist, nail technician or make-up artist, there are four main ways to conduct business, so it’s important to consider what would work best for you before you take the plunge. These options are as follows:

• Opening your own salon.
• Renting a chair in an existing salon.
• Running your business from home.
• Travelling to clients’ homes (mobile beauty treatments).

The latter two options are more appropriate if you want complete flexibility.
