A question for hairdressers.
Discussion
I know I own a Boxster but my business is doing fine and I'm not considering a career change.
However a friend of mine that is currently an employee at a hairdressers has been offered the opportunity to rent a chair in another salon. I know that this is standard practice in the industry and putting together a simple business plan shows that the key to success is how quickly a client base can be built.
Anyone got any experience of how quickly a client base can be built and ways of enhancing this?

How far away is the new salon? In my experience, a decent stylist will take at least 70% of their clientelle with them to a new salon if it's within reasonable distance. One girl took over 90% of hers to move 3 miles away.However a friend of mine that is currently an employee at a hairdressers has been offered the opportunity to rent a chair in another salon.

Word of mouth, advert in local paper to say 'This salon is pleased to welcome X to our salon' so people know where she's moved to.
Women are odd creatures, I know plenty that will drive over an hour for a haircut - my wife doesn't complain.
