Hiya,
I have been offered space to do beauty in a Hair Salon for one day a week (Saturdays) for £25 a day. I currently work from home doing beauty, but am only recently going full-time so am building up a full-time client base at the mo. I plan to take on the work at the salon alongside my work at home.
It turns out it is not actually a room, but a small space in the small hair salon right next to the hair stations, so I would actually only be able to do nails and not beauty. Im concerned about the proximity of the space to the hair stations hair flying about, hairspray etc, client comfort, discretion etc...
She has suggested that I bring my clients with me, but she has also been receiving lots of interest, so she will keep and manage my diary for the Saturdays at the hair salon and only five out the number of the hair salon, not my number. Therefore I would get new passing trade and I would I guess give my clients the salons number if they want a Saturday appointment with me, or have to faff around finding out whats available to offer my clients..... if anyone does this, how does it usually work?
She has now also indicated that I should not advertise or make known my home business (keep it separate) and therefore I cant use my current brochures, business cards or uniforms and towels (all have my business name on) and that I should think of a new name just for use at the hair salon and get new brochures done just for the one day I do at the hair salon. But obviously my clients will know about the salon and I will bring my clients to the salon where poss... although I won't be able to offer them beauty at the salon, which means I can only book my clients in for nails on Saturday and often clients will book nails and wax/brow shape/tint etc... so I would have to book them at other times at home. Also if someone comes into the salon asking for beauty treatments, I cant let them know that I do them, so cant pass them my brochure for this....
Sorry I wont go on as this post is getting very long and I dont want to put you off reading it!! Im just a bit confused and as Im not very savvy on this sort of arrangement, I would like the views and advice of you geeks :o Thank you!
