Specialties that pay more

• Color

  Balayage, corrections, blondes. The highest ticket and the longest appointments in most salons.

• Textured and curly hair

  Badly served for decades and still short of specialists. Many programs barely teach it.

• Extensions

  Certification courses from the big brands. High priced, repeat work.

• Barbering license

  A second license in most states. Opens barbershops, fades and straight razor work.
