Employed vs Self-Employed in the Beauty Industry – What It Really Means

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most misunderstood topics in the beauty industry: employed vs self-employed and what those labels actually mean in real life.   I talk honestly about the pros and cons of both paths, who each option can work for, and why there is no “one right way” to build a successful career in beauty. We’ll cover income, flexibility, security, growth, and the realities people don’t always talk about.   I also address where things often go wrong especially when self-employment is mislabelled. If you don’t control your hours, your bookings, your clients, or your money, are you really self-employed? There’s a fine line, and understanding it matters for your confidence, your income, and your future.   Whether you’re new to beauty, currently employed, self-employed, or feeling stuck somewhere in between, this episode is here to give you clarity, not pressure.   Because success in beauty isn’t one path it’s the one that supports your life.   Where to find me: Instagram: beauty_by_sophie_nottingham Website: www.beautybysophie.uk
