Can I be a teacher and own a salon at the same time?

I have always loved doing hair, makeup, and nails since I was a child. I've also always loved to pretend I'm teaching a class when I study. I took cosmetology and loves it in highschool and Im now planning to attend college to be a teacher. I'm so excited to work in a salon. I hope to open a salon one day called the retro or retro because I love 80s vibes but I also love western vibes so I might go with western cuts or something I'm not sure yet.

Hi Susan, great ideas for Cool Cuts! It's awesome that a teacher can run a salon outside of teaching. As long as they balance both roles and follow state rules for owning a business and having a professional license, they can do it successfully. Keep up the great work!

Wesly’s Answer

Hello Susan, it so excited to read your wonderful dreams and truly hope they'll be a success. To answer to your question: the answer is Yes. You can be both a teacher and a salon owner. Many educators successfully run businesses by structuring their involvement strategically. If you build the salon with systems and personnel who can operate independently, you can pursue both careers without sacrificing your well-being.

Keep these tips in mind:

1. Start with research: Find out what the job involves daily and try to talk to people already working in the field.
2. Build transferable skills: Focus on skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, which are valuable in any career.
3. Stay motivated: Even if the journey seems long, remember that each step brings you closer to your goal.
