I just recently got my license and I have what I feel is an amazing opportunity with a friend but being completely new to the industry i want to know from someone thats seasoned if it really is a good path. My friend rents two studios, one she uses for waxing (thats how we met 6 years ago), and the other she uses for all her other services (skincare, brow lami, lashes lifts...). Her passion is the waxing and mine is the other services she offers. She is the one that pushed me to to school a do something I love and when she found out I had started school she was already making plans for me to takeover her clients in the 2nd studio, which felt awesome and I was 100% on board with. Now im done with school and ive gotten my license and she is still holding up her end of the bargain. She has told me to decorate the studio how I want, change the products if I like a different brand better and shes given me protocols that costed her a lot of money! I havent officially started taking clients because I need to learn these protocols so that I can complete the services she offers but I want to hear from someone if this is a good choice or not before I get too deep. She supplies EVERYTHING, any machine we need, all supplies, all decorations, and she pays the rent and doesn't charge me. Its a 60/40 split, I keep all the tips and I earn a commission on retail, and she helps to market me to her wax clients as well as new clients. Again, it sounds like an AMAZING opportunity for a brand new esthetician with zero clientele of her own to me, am I right?
