This 25-year-old made $7,000 per month from her side hustle—while working a full-time job. Here’s how

Just days before the pandemic hit in March 2020, I started my first full-time job as a marketing coordinator at a dental office in Columbus, Ohio, where I had an annual salary of $34,500.
Every day, the office was booked with clients looking to get teeth whitening and veneers. But as the pandemic intensified and mask mandates were enforced, I remember thinking: Why are all these people scheduling cosmetic work for their teeth, when their smiles are now hidden behind masks?
It became clear how significant of an impact the upper part of our faces have on our expressions. I found myself fixated on reading people’s emotions, particularly through their eyes and brows.
So I began researching microblading, a semi-permanent brow-enhancement procedure where small strokes — in the shape of individual hairs — are tattooed in the eyebrow areas.
When I wasn’t working a dentistry shift, I attended microblading classes. For months, I practiced for several hours each day.
