In the Beginning

Abstract

Once you have decided that you would like a salon of your own you have to decide what type of salon it will be. Do you want a high fashion, city centre salon, or a shampoo-and-set salon in the suburbs? Will you cater for the old, the young, for men or women or both? Do you want to rent or to buy and what’s the difference? These are all questions which you must answer before you rush off to the estate agent’s office or start looking in the For Sale columns in the paper. Each type of salon has its advantages and disadvantages and in the end it is purely up to you. Your personality and working preferences will decide what type of salon you finish up with.
