Q. Does Chata Romano advertise my business?
A. No. You are an independent consultant who owns her own business – you are not employed by us. You are therefore responsible for your own marketing, advertising and developing your own database.

Q. Where will I conduct my business?
A. From home or an office, there are no set rules. Either way, please ensure that your working environment is professional, yet relaxing at the same time. You should also have good daylight (or good lighting) in order to conduct the color analysis correctly.

Q. Do I have to quit my full time job?
A. No. A number of our consultants consult part-time with the goal to establishing a full-time business.

Q. Is hair and makeup part of our syllabus?
A. No, you would refer your clients to the experts.

Q. Is this a good time to be in the image business?
A. Yes! Image is one of the fastest growing industries of this decade. In the 15 years that I have owned my business I have never seen such a high level of interest in this particular field.
