You know you have the talent to make it in the beauty industry, but figuring out where to begin can feel like a mystery-and cosmetology schools often don't prepare students for the business end of these jobs . . . which can make or break your career.
Consider this book your crash course on how current and aspiring beauty professionals can profit from their passions to create wealth beyond their wildest dreams.
