Questions about a massage business, trained in Europe.?

[ioana I]

Ok, so I want to open a massage business, at first maybe have a part-time job as a massage-therapist and also go to customers in my free time. I have some questions about that:will I be able to find a job in US if I was trained in Europe ? Are there any legal things I need to know before making money as I go as a therapist at customers' places ? Do you people have any ideas, suggestions, tips about how to launch the business A.S.A.P.? Does it count if you are a beautiful woman, with great shapes, or people go for anybody? (Considering that there is no other difference in the quality of massage between a beautiful/hot woman and a regular woman/man)

In most states you must be licensed. Requirements vary a little, some may accept your experience and training from Europe. You need to ask the state where you live. You may have to intern somewhere for a while.

Whether your appearance matters depends on what you are selling. But only for new clients. Once you get going, your reputation and referrals are what matters.

Launching business depends on where you live. But chair massages are one way. Visit offices, trade shows, poker rooms, almost anywhere.
