I have been cutting since I was 13, but took a few years from the craft to go to school and enter the education field. After I get my Masters, I will get back in the field because I truly love the environment, the people, and the feel on those clippers in my hands. I want to open my own salon so if anyone has any advice, please hit me up. I would like to know what lease space rent is like, cost of water and electricity, and anything else.

Thanks for the compliment alot of blood, sweat put into the shop, nice to receive compliments. Only wish the barbers truly understood the concept sometimes. Thanks again...
The best thing I can tell you is to map out your vision clearly in a business plan and then try to secure financing. I decided to buy a spot, but maybe leasing is for you. Do what you do!
i have drawn them out before, have not done it in a while , have not found the right kind of pencil to draw on hair without disappearing.. but mostly i just cut a part and go from there
Hey man thanks for the compliment... I have been a wood butcher since the day i got out of high school.. 30 years now ... my mother was a great artist.. she just never had the marketing tools like we have now a days. Ive been making Barber poles for about 3 years. Met lots of Really good people in the Barbering business...Just feel like folks needed another choice in their barber pole. Come to find out there is only ONE other manufacturer of Barber poles in the Whole world... Although one other has started up out of China... don't get me wrong that other company makes a great pole... they have been in business since the fifties..I just make one with a little OLD TIMEY STYLE. Thanks again for the props Littlejohn
