As with any other business, an entrepreneur must consider a variety of factors when starting a hair dressing salon.  The business can be set in the right track with proper education and planning.

Get trained
Most hairdressers in Nigeria go through process of internship where they obtain training in the art of hair dressing. There are a number of techniques that can be used to create one of the many styles that customers may request. The training takes a period of six months to one year.

Develop a customer base
An entrepreneur should use a variety of techniques to attract clients to a new hair dressing business. Most people have found a new and cheaper way to advertise their business that has proven effective; this is by using the social media. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have proven very effective for most small businesses because they attract more customers who have a picture of how good your service is. Alternatively, entrepreneurs may network their way to success. Satisfied clients must be viewed as a reliable source for new customers. Their word of mouth can ultimately lead to referral business.

Build a savings culture
Once your business is set up, ensure you start saving from the very first profit you make.  Ensure you keep a percentage of every profit you make, this will help you in expanding the business.
