Hi everyone. Was just after some advice and opinions please. I am currently working from a beauty room that I rent and I work closely along side a hair salon and fitness studio. I have been doing this since October after working for another salon as an employee for 9 years. So far it is going really well, lots of customers and everyone is re booking which is great. Trouble is, my earning potential is limited as I can only work evenings so can only fit in so many as not many like staying past 9/9.30. I am at home with my children in the day except one full day that I work, but I have a hit a niche in the market for these evening appointments as most salons are closed and generally everyone works in the day so its proven ideal and each night is busy. Going back to earning potential, I'm finding the rent is taking a big chunk of my earnings so not really gaining much financially at the moment, so, we have been saving and we are planning a purpose built log cabin/chalet in our garden, with all the fittings, heating and toilet too. Just wondering if any of you work from home in a similar surrounding and if you find it is still successful in building your clientele and enticing new customers? It would be great to not have any over heads except stock and insurances but worried customers don't take it as serious or they assume you are just not as professional or do as good of a job than a salon would. Sorry to waffle on! Any advice is appreciated. Thank you x
