Stable income: Somewhat stable

I’d rate it a 3 out of 5 because while there is potential for a decent baseline income, the demand can be seasonal and client bookings may fluctuate. It’s not as unpredictable as a 2, where income swings wildly, but it lacks the predictability of a 4, where most months are similar and dependable. Many stylists find success, but it often requires building a strong client base and reputation over time.
