Job: Hairdresser / Hairstylist (United States)

If you are thinking about or are in this career, it can be very rewarding and you could live the good life. You are truley the master of your universe. I get so much satisfaction when someone tells me they love their hair! Sometime this is enough to love this career. But we can't pay bills with compliments. On the other hand if you keep at it and don't change salons, in a few years you will be making good money and in 7 to 10 years you will be making great money. Don't change salons; pick the right one from the start. It will be your home for a long time. If you don't make at least 250 a week full time in a year and a half, leave. If you do and like the people you work with. Then you hit a home run. As long as there is incentive to earn more money. And you can hone your skill.
