When my best friend confided in me that she was thinking about starting a home salon several months ago, I told her that I’d be her first customer. I was so excited for her right away and asked her if she’d drawn up a business plan or anything else for the home salon. She said she had not, that she’d just started thinking about it, but that she would love any input that I could give her. Immediately I got busy crunching numbers to find out what it would take to make my best friends dream of a home salon turn into a reality. I did my research and within two weeks I’d been able to show her exactly what she needed to get started. I gave her a website address where she could order all the supplies she needed for the home salon and for a fraction of the price. She was more than thrilled and from that moment on, we started making things happen. This weekend she’ll open the salon and just as I promised, I’ll be her first customer. Words can’t describe how happy I am for her.
