DO. IT. It is the most liberating feeling you will ever have in your career. If you’re nervous, you’re not alone. It’s a big decision, but it’s worth it all! Gather information from salon suites and people you may know who are in them. Break down the costs you know you’ll have, and save whatever you can for initial start up fees. Once you get going it is smooth sailing!
