Hi everyone. Apologies now for the long post...
Basically I've been in this industry for 7 years, last salon I worked in did very well but left because I didn't like being on a commission and paying the owner a small fortune every week to do nothing. Moved to another salon as the rent was cheap...
Then realised I'd been FAR too hasty. The place is dirty and unprofessional, my appointments get messed up and I've had stuff stolen. My takings are down and I'm worried about my reputation as an established therapist. Now a family friend (very successful hairdresser and brilliant businessman) is opening up in the city centre and I was going to go with him until it came to light there was no room for beauty. He says as soon as the occupants upstairs leave (but that's an IF they leave at the mo) he will take on that shop aswell. But trouble is I don't want to wait. I want to leave like, now. I've seen an office space to let in a fort on a main bus route, and was thinking maybe I could just work alone? By fort I mean an actual military owned fort that has now been converted into office space. They also hold weddings there (could be a monopoly?) it's a beautiful landmark. Do you geeks think it could work there? It's a little out of the way but on a main road. What do I do? Sit tight and wait for these occupants to leave the other premises even tho it isn't a definate? Or go it alone?
Thankyou x
