A product developer helps create new products that will be used in any area of the industry, whether it’s a consumer based product or used by professionals to treat customers. There’s always room for improvement, be the change. Also, if you can create a product that has a high demand.

Corporate Trainer

Don’t want to invent your own products? That’s fine. How about working for one of the big companies that are making innovative products and training salons on how to use them.
