This book serves as the literary equivalent of a kick in the ass and a punch to the throat. The vast majority of these lessons aren’t taught in schools and don’t appear in textbooks; they’re learned through painful (and often expensive) experiences.

“Required reading for every salon professional.”

I wrote this book to save you. It contains everything you need to know to survive and succeed in the professional beauty industry, including how to:

• Recognize lying and scamming salon owners
• Avoid abusive employment arrangements
• Identify and reject exploitative contracts
• Secure a job before you even graduate
• Become the kind of professional salon owners
fight over
• Build a portfolio
• Attract and retain clients
• Establish an impressive online presence
• Run your own microsalon business
• Preserve your health and build your wealth
…and so much more.

The Beauty Industry Survival Guide will help you navigate this tumultuous business. The waters run deep, the currents are swift, and the tides shift quickly. The journey can certainly be treacherous, and you’ll need all the help you can get.

“School prepares you to take a test. This book prepares you for every damn thing that follows.”

After clicking the Buy Now button, you’ll be directed to Paypal. Once your payment is complete, you can expect two email receipts—one from Paypal confirming your payment, and one from me with a unique download link and instructions for opening the zipped folder. Some spam filters are very aggressive, so if you don’t receive your download link, don’t sweat it! Just click the Your Account button in the menu bar. You’ll be able to access your downloadable files from there whenever you like.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Currently, The School Tuition Pricing Playground is only compatible with Microsoft Excel and Excel for Mac. I cannot guarantee compatibility with any other program.

This file is a ZIP file (compressed). The contents will need to be extracted after download in order for them to be accessible. If your phone/tablet does not have this capability, there are apps you can download to extract contents from zip files, but for best results, download the files on a laptop or desktop computer, extract the files there, and then send them to your mobile devices if you like to read on the go. (If you attempt to access a zip folder on a mobile device that doesn’t know what a zip folder is, you’ll get a screen full of random jibberish, which is pretty in its own way, but definitely not useful.)
