Taking a risk? Advice needed please

[CatherineRose]

Hi all,

So I have been offered the opportunity to go self employed in a make up studio doing hair extensions. There is another hair stylist there already so to start with I would just be offering extensions and no other hair service.

I've decided to go for it as it's something I'm so passionate about and I really feel I can make this work!

Just wondering if anyone has any advice please... business name ideas... where to start.... how to advertise etc.

I've never been self employed before. Thanks x

Hey Catherine

You need the graphic man that can check out Carl from Verve Designs, he has an album of bespoke logos that can help brand your business www.facebook.com/VerveDesigns he offers a fabulous bundle deal which is very affordable and will make you stand out

Get your colour theme and then go from there xx

I second Carl from Verve, he has done several bits for me & goes above & beyond to design you something perfect If your not arty then his selection of ready made logos is perfect & it might even help you pick a name.

There are also LOADS of starting up threads on here. Spend an afternoon with a computer, pad, pen & cuppa and take time to read through them all jotting down notes as you go. This isnt meant to be harsh, but the questions you have asked have been asked & answered time & time again, so read through the old ones and take away the info that you need.

I've been going a couple of years and still re-read through Lynnes 'ways to promote your business' thread every few months. Good luck hun <3 xx

Thanks for the reply! I'll definately keep looking through the threads, I've already found some helpful ones.

In regards to the logo etc, I've already got someone on the job but thanks for the recommendations x
