Paying $1,200/Month in Booth Rent?

Make sure it's actually profitable.

No idea if your booth is profitable
You pay $1,200/month rent, but don't know your true profit after supplies, products, and expenses.
Can't decide: booth vs commission
Should you rent a booth or stay on commission? You need actual numbers, not guesses.
Don't know which services make money
Color takes 2 hours at $150. Cuts take 45min at $65. Which is actually more profitable?
Can't prove income for apartment/car
Landlords and lenders need proof of income. You track cash tips, but have no system.

Finally Know Your True Profitability

See exactly how much you make per service after booth rent and all expenses.
