In order to avoid unnecessary out of pocket expenses, trading services may be a mutually beneficial way for two people to get what they want - trading services can work out. Are there any people who work in the beauty industry who exchange services instead of dollars with others in the beauty industry (i.e. a nail technician trades services with another nail technician or hair stylist) or anyone in the beauty industry who exchanges services with other professionals (i.e. a massage therapist who exchanges services with a tradesperson such as a carpenter or electrician)? Do these types of arrangements typically work out well? What are the advantages and disadvantages of exchanging services with other professionals?
