Hi all.
As some of you know I have relocated from Epsom in Surrey to Hastings by the sea.
I am still travelling up two days a week to do my old clients nails, but can't do this for too long. Anyway, I have had some business cards made up and been giving them out to local hairdressers etc. I was thinking of setting up from home as I have a nice big spare room.
My dilemma, well today I got a call from a lady who is opening up a beauty salon very close to me and she has asked me if I would like to set up Xtremities from her beauty salon. I would have to give her 20% of my takings etc.
She seems really nice. The location is on a small high street with lots of passing trade. The area is a bit run down i.e. regeneration area, but there are a few nice shops opening up in the area. There is a hairdresser across the road.
I am not sure what to do, stay with working from home or set up in this salon. Do clients prefer to go to a salon etc. I have just had a nice laminate floor put down in my spare room and am working on website, also had the local newspaper round to discuss advertising etc.
Would it be better to start up in the salon or from home as I am completely new to this area and don't really know anyone.
Any advice would be so welcome.
