One thing I REALLY want to specialize in is extensions once I graduate beauty school...
 
So say... if I decided to rent a booth in a salon that doesn't have a reputation for providing extension services, could I do extensions on my clients? Isn't booth renting basicly a mini business within a salon, (pick my hours, my pricing ect?) or are there regulations to follow and what services I can and cannot offer?
 
the reason im asking is because there is only 1 salon in town that does extensions that i know of, and well, if I don't get hired there than I still want to do hair extensions.

Hey Baby
It might depend on what state you live in but my guess is you can rent space or a chair at a salon and do extensions.

If you are renting a chair, you are an independent contractor.  You can perform any serice for which you are licensed for under your state's cosmetology ordinances.

first off congrads at going to beauty school-
the best thing to do is first get trained in extensions, get two or three methods of training and have certifications too.
if you are a booth renter, yes you can do extensions there. As a renter, you can do any type of hair services where ever  you work. Extensions, straightening, perms colors etc.
how many hours do u have right now.
great luck to you!!
choose your salon with care, go in there as a client, get a wash and style see if you could see yourself working there. Check out the owners, the staff, what do they offer.
Most salons offer back bar, towels, beverages for clients, and some do provide receptionist.
what hours are they open, do you get a key. there is alot to consider when looking to park your scissors. choose carefully so your not one of those stylists that bounce around alot, clients dont like that.

I was taking to my friend who owns Aphrodite's Salon in Puyallup, WA and she is looking for an apprentice to help her with her hair extension business.  Here's the link:
