Often in small towns there are non-commercial hair stylist who operate out of their homes and have a long time following. You might check the states Labor and Licensing board for the licensed hair stylists listed in the area. You can also get information from the local Chamber of Commerce on local business and population statistics. This can give you a good idea of the clientele in putting together a business plan. Generally in a small town by opening a trendy shop in the downtown area, you can do quite well, especially since there is not much competition. It is my feel that you should go for it, put out some flyers and business cards, and a website which will all promote your business.
