When I first moved into a salon not many of my mobile clients cam to me there. So in the beginning I had alot of time of my hands. Drank vast amounts of coffee! But it also gave me time to practice, designs etc, that I could display on the wall or in the shop window. Gradually the clients started coming in and word soon get around. Your work is your best form of advertising. After 8 months I had a full book.
If you have a opportunity and the price is right and you feel it's in a good location then go for it!
