  5. Make a strong commitment to the educational process to finish school.
  6. Learn business skills to promote themselves and the salons in which they work.

In addition, students should be aware that:

  1. The work can be arduous and physically demanding because of long hours standing with hands at shoulder level or sitting over a nail technicians station.
  2. A personal investment may be required for advertising and promotions such as printing business cards.
  3. There will be exposure to various chemicals and fumes which may cause allergic reactions.
  4. The practice of safety and sanitation is essential for effective and successful performance within the industry.
  5. Methods of compensation vary and may include straight salary, salary plus commission, straight commission, sliding scale commission, retail commission, hourly, or independent contracting (renting space and equipment from an existing salon).
