Thank you that's really helpful and I keep thinking that if I let people put me off by saying I need experience I'm never going to do it xx
Believe it or not, but if your classmates from college are the ones advising you against going self employed perhaps you shouldn't listen to them because they could be jealous because you're thinking one step ahead.
Some schools advise you against going self employed with no salon experience because they don't want inexperienced hairdressers running a business and not knowing what they're doing because they don't want to damage their reputations, some teachers will encourage you, it's all about the college.
Only you can answer your own question and take your own advice because you're the one that knows your strengths and weaknesses, your abilities, the things you like doing and things you don't like doing, now this is what helps you make your own decision.
The questions are, are you capable of performing every service?
Are you confident in all of the services?
Do you think you're capable of running your own business? & capable of dealing with client complaints and bookings yourself.
You need to consider all of the above, if you feel like you don't want to do a certain service because you dislike doing it and etc you won't get that option being employed, you have to do everything whether you like it or not.
Being self employed means you get your own clients, meaning you only do the services you want to do, you work your own hours, deal with everything yourself and pay yourself.
Im giving you food for thought, you dont have to have salon experience to work for yourself but if you know that you need it than don't give up and get your self into unpaid work and hopefully that will lead to a full time job.
Whatever you decide to do goodluck
