Hi there
Congratulations on taking the plunge on running your own business. It can be an exciting but daunting experience. I can very much relate to how you must be feeling as I ran my own business up until 2 years ago when I sold it. Well you need to work closely with your the hair salon owner - think about package promotions that include hair as well as beauty see if you can help each other - I use to do make-up, nail extensions, tanning etc for summer balls/prom nights etc - offer to do manicures whilst hair clients are having their hair coloured. Always take your clients email address so that you can send out email promotions - much cheaper than having flyers printed - clients will love it. You also need to look at a database to record client information - especially if you are employing other staff - we offer software that has a customer database, online diary (so your clients can book appointments off your website without having to call you), sms appointment reminders and lots more. If you want to have a free trial of it to see if you like it just let me know and I will send you the link. Why not have a look at our website on www.icomplete.com which will explain more - go into the health and beauty section and click on beauty salons for more info. Good luck with your new venture.
Claire

Have you registered as self employed yet,
if not all you do is phone your local tax office and tell them the situation and your start date and they will help you every step of the way,
you also need to contact your local council and inform them you are renting space in the hairdressers so that you get the full discount on business rates hth
