How to Start a Beauty Business
"I'm licensed — what now?"
Zero-to-first-client roadmap for new beauty pros.
- 1
Get insured (general liability + professional)
Annual cost is small; one claim without it can be career-ending.
- 2
Decide your model: booth rent, suite, home or mobile
Booth = lowest risk. Suite = more control. Mobile = lowest overhead.
- 3
Set up a booking page + Google profile
These two assets do 80% of your client acquisition.
- 4
Build a 5-service menu, not 25
Niche menus convert and price higher.
- 5
Run a soft launch with 5 friends-and-family clients
Builds portfolio and gets your first reviews live.
