<p>WOW! great question and great answers!</p>

<p>I would say, like someone already mentioned, get some business, marketing and accounting training. Some counties offer these courses for free or low fee through their small business division.</p>
<p>Learn as much as you can of social media. You will save thousands of dollars by doing it yourself or having someone helping you with it. Think twice about hiring a social media "guru".</p>

<p>You may want to start working for someone else while you get experience. Some things might be thought as common sense or easy to remember, but unless you are doing them and getting in the habit of things, you won't do them. Examples are how to greet clients, how to charge, how to accept tips, how scheduling works, the flow of a skincare business, etc. If you want to learn the hard way, start your own business right away, but you will save yourself some suffering and undue stress if you get acquainted with the busines first working as an employee. You can then decide what things you will do and which ones you won't. </p>
<p>network network network. Did I mention network? What area of skincare would you like to specialize in? connect with folks in the field. In addition to this association, linkedin.com is very good. Connect with people in your geographical area (potential clients such as business folks, wedding planners, etc).</p>
<p>Keep your ethics intact and remain professional always - including your personal FB page. I had a product rep who "befriended" me on FB. Her personal postings were highly political and such a turn off! I, not only de-friended her, I also don't want to do business with her.</p>

Continue your education after you graduate, if you are using a skin care line and they offer classes take them, it is well worth it! go to the trade shows and take classes there also, learn all you can while in school you only get out of it what you put into it, so get everything out of it while you can.</p> As do I Jesse ;) So many aven…tag:skincareprofessionals.com,2013-04-05:6332291:Comment:1446542013-04-05T17:31:02.636Ziskyn for mehttps://skincareprofessionals.com/profile/iskynforme

<p>I am a spa owner and Esthetician and I have to say that as much as a spa CAN market you, too many esties blame the spa for not bringing in business. We have to go out there and be confident in what we do and bring those clients in ourselves. It sounds like you are booth renting if you're buying all your products meaning it is your responsibility to bring clients in. It is too easy to quit as a new person which won't look good on your resume.</p>
