There is nothing quite as rewarding as watching your patrons being transformed right before your very eyes and best yet, with the services you are happily able to offer. If you have often dreamed of opening your own lash and brow studio, you might be interested in the many reasons why your own home just might make the best location you could choose. Here are just a few reasons to explore.
1. Flexibility in Scheduling Patrons
One of the things you enjoyed whilst studying Online Lash Training at your own convenience was the fact that you could study at your own pace. You didn’t need to be anywhere at any given time to attend classes which enabled you to continue working that boring job that, at the very least, kept the bills paid. Now that you’ve graduated the course and have received an accredited certificate, you can offer your patrons the same flexibility in choosing their hours as you so enjoyed whilst learning to work in a field that has always been your passion.
2. Tax Reliefs for Small Businesses in the UK
Needless to say, when you have your own business, there are a number of tax reliefs offered to small businesses in the UK. It’s only a matter of filing appropriately and maybe talking to an accountant to see what kinds of tax incentives you are entitled to. You can also check out the government website to stay current on recent tax reliefs being added along the way.
3. A Higher Level of Privacy for Patrons
The truth of the matter is that some people truly are insecure about going into a beauty shop to have services done. They would much rather have services provided in a small shop, especially in their technicians home, where they can be candid about how they feel about their appearance. It’s a highly personal matter for more people than you might imagine.
4. No Travel Expenses to and from Work
Just as you enjoyed not riding public transport to and from school because you studied from home, so too can you save a great deal of money working from home. With the cost of fuel rising exponentially by year, so it seems, that is one huge savings! It costs nothing to walk around in your very own residence.
5. Easier to Form Relationships with Patrons
As mentioned above, some people are simply ill at ease discussing personal matters in public. When it comes to their appearance, some aspects are highly sensitive, so it is easier to forge a bond with them in a more private setting. One thing which many professionals in the beauty industry will readily tell you is that the best services they can offer are those built on a solid relationship with their patrons. Once you know a little about a person’s life, their wants and their needs, you can form that solid relationship that will enable you to structure your services accordingly.
Where to Go from Here?
Although you have started as a hair and brow technician, there is no reason why you can’t continue adding services to your repertoire. You can choose to continue on as you are now in lashes and brows or you can add nails and facial treatments to your services. At some point you might even want to be a full-fledged cosmetologist. So where do you go from here? The sky is the limit, so maybe we’ll revisit that next year!
