Well since I was let go from my job of 3 yrs on Sept 2nd I have been trying to decide what to do. Well I had an interview at a Tech School and didnt get the job. So I asked my DH if he wanted me to go to another school that is 70 miles round trip....He said he would rather me try to start a business closer to home. So I found a small (600sq ft) space to open a hair and nail salon. The start-up would be about $3,000.00. We have the money and I have 2 other people that want to rent a station and that would pay for the space and utilities. It really needs alot of cosmetic fixing up which my DH says is not bad. And the landlord says he will give me the first months rent free. So I think we are going to do it....

Thanks Nancy, Business has really picked up. I have 1 full time stylist and 1 part time stylist and a part time nail tech. I would really like to have one more full time stylist. But I am happy with the people I have now.

Congratulations, Deborah! I hope your business continues to grow. It can be so hard to find services like hair artists in rural areas!
Woo hoo!

Good luck with the salon & I love the name-you can do a lot as far as logos go by using the highway sign motif.

How time flies! It's already almost the 28th of November. You will be open soon. Best wishes. Hopefully, you will be helping LOTS of ladies look great for the Christmas holidays. Good luck.

Well I am almost finished with the Salon. Signs done, painting, floors, bathroom, ceiling tiles, and the equipment is in. Now what is left is the heat and the supplies. Then just to wait for State Board to come and inspect. Then I will open. I am so greatful for my dearest neighbors and my dear husband. We have put in a lot of time and it is finally going to be done by this weekend. Now only thing is to have people to come and rent stations.

Thanks for all the congrats ladies. The place is coming along. We are still doing painting and i had several people to do bids on cleaning the floor, it needas to be stripped and a good coat of wax. And then for the signs and lettering on the door and windows. I have saves some money on both. Always pays to look for the best deal. Then after all that we should have everything done before Thanksgiving. Because I want to open on the 28th of November. i am sure I can. State board has to come and give the ok to open before clients can start coming.
Thanks

Well we got the keys to the space and my DH and I went to Home Depot and got the supplies to start fixing the place up. Our neighbors are going to help. He use to teach construction and she is wonderful with interior decorating. My DH has a background in faux finishes and we are doing something wonderful on the wall that is concrete blocks. My DH idea of course. My expertise will be when all is done...But I will be helping as well...I am so excited..Thanks ladies for all your well wishes. I will keep everyone up dated. My DH is going to take before middle and after pics to post...
