But have you ever wondered about the hidden stress of being a salon owner? However, behind the scenes, many struggle with significant challenges related to being a beauty professional entrepreneur that often go unnoticed. If only beauty schools had covered the business aspects of entrepreneurship—like marketing, human resources, and MENTAL HEALTH—owners might be better prepared for the real-world demands they face.
