A friend of mine has just done that Debs , he's a male hairdresser , just gone self employed after many years he's renting a chair in a salon , good luck
It's quite a common thing mate and works well if you're in the right place.
I'd checked out the facebook page before I went to see her and the quality of her work posted up looked good and the potential was definitely there but the environment was a bit confused.
I wasn't sure I was in the right place when I arrived, there was nobody in reception and even though I could hear voices out the back, I was there for a good 5 minutes then had to go look for them. The reception area had shoes, handbags, scarves and jewellery all on display for sale but no hair or beauty products.
I wasn't sure but decided to call back for another chat the day after, see if things were a bit more professional when clients were in but nah, it was worse. She was sat in the salon, no shoes on, her plate and cup from having dinner were on the nail bar and seemed even less interested than she was the first time.
Shame really but when you treat your business like going round ya mates for a brew and a natter instead of a professional, working environment, I've no sympathy when it's not working.
