As of now, the Australian beauty salon industry is valued at approximately AUD 6 billion. While experts can’t predict its future value, they anticipate it will continue to grow steadily.

Now, let’s talk the real talk and tell FIVE great reasons why it’s still a good idea to get your career started in the beauty salon industry as a lash technician, or similar:
