My advice to 'Bronze Desire': Take Brians' advice. If you have a 45k a year job, stay with it. You will never make that in 5 years with a salon.
10K would not re-lamp a 10 bed salon,let alone open the door for a new one.
You could never compete in this world of coporate franchise greed. Read: Deep Pockets.
For a 'new start-up' to even survive, a good 250-500K would be needed..plus more to remain open.
A good 10 beds would cost that much. One good 50+ lamper of any good brand would be at least 45K. 4-5 base beds of good quality would cost 60-80K.
Take your 10K and invest it in Mutural funds, long-term investing. Your money would grow faster, earn more and you will not only sleep better at night, but have a healthier life.
