Own a Day Spa
Day Spa
Salary Range: $35,000 and $120,000 yr
According to ziprecruiter.com a Day Spa owner can earn anywhere from $36,390 to $89,000 per year. Day spas are places where clients can pamper themselves with massages, facials, and body treatments such as a mud bath, body wraps, cellulite treatments, and other new and emerging treatments. operating expenses can be high for Day Spa Owners so do your homework when thinking about the startup costs of owning a Day Spa. It's also a good idea to look around your neighborhood to find the best location, lease costs, and insurance
Become an Esthetician
Salary Range: $31,290 - $59,790
Estheticians provide skin care. Particularly on the face and head. Facials and Facial massages are the most common services provided by a licensed Esthetician. Startup costs and overhead costs are much lower than owning a day spa however the potential to earn more money is considerably less even though an Esthetician may work at or own a Day Spa.
Tattoo Artist
Salary Range: $57,525 - $97,769
Do you love drawing? Then becoming a Tattoo Artist might be the right career for you. Tattoo art has gone from a taboo practice exclusive to tough guys and sailors to a mainstream art form worn by just about everyone. Even facial tattoos can be seen on corporate employees and everyday Joes. Just last week I saw a regular suburban dad wearing a complete face tattoo which would have been reserved for the most feared street gangs just a few years earlier. In 2022 being a Tattoo artist can be a rewarding career for just about anyone with a steady hand.

Become a Barber
Salary Range: $83,984 - $112,256
Barber shops was once a dying profession. During the late 1980s and 1990s franchise chain hair salons like Supercuts nearly killed the barber business but in the 2020s and beyond Barbering is here to stay for several reasons. 1 reason is the popularity of facial hair. Barber Shops specialize in not only hair cuts but also facial hair trimming. Barbers are also licensed to shave facial hair with a single blade razor whereas a licensed cosmetologist can not perform that service. Also men's haircuts have gone old school since the early 2000s. Haircuts and styles that are not well done at hair salons. Barbers cut hair, short and clean. Whereas hair salons style hair. With the demand of men's grooming growing all over the country with a high pay, becoming a Barber is a great beauty career choice.
