Can You Booth Rent Right Out of School?

     The wondeful thing about esthetics is you can do whatever your heart desires. You can work one full-time job in esthetics; work two or three part-time jobs; or you can open up your own spa. It is completely up to you. I get a lot of questions from recent graduates about the booth rent option, and here are my thoughts about it:
    Booth rent is a viable option for graduates depending on their fiscal circumstances. If you need a dependable salary booth rent is probably not the way to go right out of school. If you still live at home with your parents, or have a side job that will temporarily pay your bills while you build a book of business then booth rent is a good option.
    If you desperately want to start out on your own and you want to save money doing it, consider booth sharing with a massage therapist. Don't forget, no matter how big or small your venture may be, create a business plan to guide you through your new business.
