Moving to a new area

So my spray tanning is going very well, had a empty week last week but this week I've got 3 maybe 4 booked in! 2 regular and one recommended! And 1 new client for next week!

I live in south west London, and I am moving to Beckenham Junction which is basically Kent. I have no local knowledge or know anything about the area. My mum is living there so whenever I go to visit her before I move in we we look around the shops etc and it is a very lovely area with LOADS of salons and hair dressers (which i'm not entirely sure is a good or bad thing yet) its a bit towie
-ish of what I've seen.
But anyway apart from changing my yell.com location I'm really worried I'll have to turn down local clients as I have no idea where they live! I don't drive so reply on my dad/partner to take me to the non walk-able clients (taking driving lessons tho!)

Any advice on how I can make this work? I really enjoy tanning and don't really want to pack it in

Is renting a room an option, maybe in a hairdressers or tanning shop? then people can come to you and in the meantime start getting to know the area and when you can drive you'll have the option to do some mobile if you still want to.

Might be worth asking around x
