Hi Nikki if it helps you we prefer the personal FB page, however it can be difficult to set up if you are a business and obviously FB could shut you down if they suss it out. Unlikely though! We are fortunate to have two words in our salon name so we have just used them as though we are a person....for example 'Beauty Beyond'. This way we have much more control of the page as we can choose and add friends....albeit not too many or we get into more trouble ;-) If you use the business type page you rely on 'likes' and they can be hard to come by. Long term though I think the 'likes' FB pages are probably less risky so think carefully. You could set one up of each and ask friends to like the other one too. That way you are protected if FB get onto you. Hope that helps a little. x

I'm anti fb personally never had one and hear so much nonsense that happens on it,
However most of my clients kept telling me I should get a fb pg rather than a website so I set one up and I must admit it does work for clients recommending their friends
Mines is a business pg, so easy to "showcase" your work and it's free
