Hi,
I pretty much just lurk around this board but I was wondering if anyone could give some insight into freelancing. I have been freelancing for a number of years (self-taught) and have done a variety of events (weddings, etc.) and have even freelanced for MAC. I finally saved enough to invest more seriously into my own business. I am filing the paperwork with California to make my freelance business a corporation, but I wasn't sure about the licensing and/or permits I needed. I know I will need some city and county specific stuff but I have read some different information regarding whether or not I need a cosmetologist license or not. Besides makeup, I do hair styling as well. Styling, no cutting or coloring whatsoever. I just do not want to get fined for anything since I am obviously charging for my services.
I tried to search online and on here but I couldn't find anything.
If anyone could offer some advice, I would appreciate it!
Thanks!
Paula
