Color Street: A Great Micro Business for People with Autism
Under the stay-at-home order, nail salons are considered nonessential services. Even if nail salons reopen, how can you use social distancing to get your nails done? More and more women are searching for an alternative. I had not heard of Color Streetuntil a friend gave me a sample of the nails she ordered. Although I was never patient when it came to using nail polish, I almost always messed up at least one nail. I have to say that I was a bit skeptical so I decided to do a little research.
What is Color Street?
Color Street’sbirth place is NYC in 1984. Their creator, Fa Pack, saw a woman struggling to polish her nails in a New York City cab. He thought that there has to be an easier way. Upon discovering there wasn’t, he decided to make a better way. He experimented with lots of different techniques of putting polish on surfaces until he found his formula.
The Color Streetnail strips are made with 100% real nail polish. They are not vinyl like other brands. This means they can be removed with nail polish remover. When done properly (with remover and they aren’t just pulled off) Color Street does not damage the nail like acrylics do.
One of the companies goals is to celebrate entrepreneurs. Those that decide to sell the nails are called Stylist. A full set of nails sell between $11 and $14 depending on the style. There is NO drying time and literally takes 5 minutes to put on. The nails are also manufactured here in the USA.
How to Become a Stylist
There has never been a better time to start a micro business. While most businesses require a large amount needed for start up costs. Color Street is very reasonable. To sign up as a Color Street Stylist you need to purchase a Basic Starter Kit for only $129.00 which is a $250 Value. To see what you get in the Basic Starter Kit click hereHow Much Can You Earn

What I Like About Color Street
I think there are several things I like about Color Street for an individual with Autism to make money. The first is that you do not have to keep buying product to sell. All sales take place directly through your Color Streetwebsite. There is no stocking of inventory at your house. Which also means no delivery. Once a customer places an order on your website, it gets shipped directly from the company. Your website is automatically updated by Color Streetwith the latest styles. So, you do not need any experience in building a website. The only thing you need to do is spread the word with family, friends, and through social media. You can really have fun with this business and get creative. There are a lot of women (and men) that could really use this product. Once they try it, you will have repeat customers.
