I was thinking about a Summer job, I’m only 14, and because I love style and shopping, I was thinking about starting a business where I would take a client that isn’t very good at style, take them shopping, to a hair shop, do their nails, and basically teach them about style. Kinda/sorta like "What Not to Wear". I’m just not sure if this is a good idea. Please answer the following questions:

1.Do you think this is a good idea?

If you answered yes to question #1, Answer the following:

1. What do you think I should call it?

2. What do you think I should charge?

3. Do you think I should buy all the stuff?

4. Honestly, would you do it if you had bad style?

I’m 16 & I’ll be 17 this year, so I’ve been thinking a lot about my future. My dream is to become a hair stylist/makeup artist, and I also want to own my own beauty salon some day. I would like to go to beauty school, but I also want to go to college and major in business or finance so I can manage a business. Are those the right things to major in if I want to open my own salon? & Should I go to beauty school first, then go to college while I’m working as a cosmetologist.. or should I go to college first & then beauty school?

I want my salon to include;

hair – styling, cutting, dying, highlights, perming, extensions, relaxing, etc.
makeup – theater, prom, wedding, & photoshoot makeup. I’d also like to hold makeup classes for anyone in the community wanting to learn more about it.
nails – manicures/pedicures, everything.
waxing – facial & body waxing.
tanning – tanning beds & spray tans.

Thank you for your help :)

I have been thinking forever what I want to do with my life, and I’m in the 3rd year of college. I am supposed to graduate next year, but because I keep changing my major I won’t get my Bachelors for another 4 years! Nothing but makeup interests me though :(. I’ve always wanted to be a makeup artist even if it’s on the side of a real career. I never wanted to do that just as my career because it’s unsteady and I felt I just couldn’t live off that. Especially if I have a family one day. I don’t want to have to rely only on a man in case something terrible happens too. My mom was stuck in a marriage because she couldn’t support us on her own (twice! with two different men).

So I was thinking. What if I go to beauty school and open a shop when I’m done. One that does hair, makeup, nails, skin, waxing (all that they show you in beauty school). And I could continue to go to specialty classes so I can do fake eyelashes too and stuff. And then I was also thinking of going to a class to become a wedding planner. So I would do wedding planning too. They all sort of go hand in hand. And if I go overwhelmed, I would hire some help. I don’t know. What do you guys think? Too much? How much do you think I could make a year with a business like that? Any inside thoughts please!! haha I know it costs a lot to start up a business and that’s the whole thing I’m worried about. That and I don’t wanna be barely making it as far as pay goes. thanks!

I am thinking about partnering with a colleague of mine to open a beauty salon. 8 spots for hair, 2 spots for nails and one mesauge therapist. What do I need to focus on and look out for if I decide to go and patner with my colleague? We have some employees with years of experience ready to join the team, what else?

Im only 11. This might sound so stupid but I wanna make a bit of cash.. But Im thinking of starting a little business. Im thinking about a beauty business doing nails,Make-up Im not sure about hair because I haven’t got a clue about were and when to do it Help!!

My questions are – Where should I do it? I need advise on advertising ?

Btw : Im only free on Tuesday,Thursday,Friday and maybe Mondays

Thanks
