Cosmetology is an exciting and dynamic field offering a range of career opportunities for those passionate about beauty and aesthetics. However, like any other business, cosmetology requires not just technical skills but also business acumen, marketing strategies, and customer service expertise.

Let’s look at a few elements of business management that are essential to run a successful cosmetology business.
