Am a corper serving at Ebonyi state, am planning to start an hair styling salon as soon as I pass out! Three locations at mind which are Abj, Uyo and Ph! Please I need mature advice concerning  these three areas I mentioned on how to go about the business! The cost of living should be put into consideration, will the nature of the business boom? If yes where will I get more patronage! Power supply too, please guys help a brother! I have 200k as a starting capital, I have never been to these three places mention before! Thanks

Abj and ph the #200k won't do much and cost of leaving is very high but try uyo best of lurk

Uyo will be cheaper and if situated well will yield handsomely for you. Then maybe when u raise more capital u can easily get a branch in PH cos its jus 3hours away from Uyo.


Best of luck bro

Thanks guys!

If you have where to stay then you can manage ph. But the business is so much in ph. For u to attract customers u have to be unique and that requires money. Shops are also expensive.

it musnt be uyo in akwa ibom state... I would recommend a place like mpkat enin close to the state university campus.....u won't regret it...and will enjoy very few competition....

It all depends on the location in PH. PH is experiencing expansion as the years go bye. Meaning, a village can in a matter of years transform into township. With #200k you can get a place in somewhere Iriebe close to Oyigbo just 8miles away from Eleme Junction. Where you should paying shop rent for atleast 10k/month. Your budget is too low for me to suggest you locating inside the Central Business Areas which is quite high. As someone suggested, get a place at Uyo and a branch later somewhere in the remote area of PH.

I combined with my younger brother to rent a shop which we converted to office space here in Iriebe, PH at 10k/month, he does his software development while am into media. So our business doesn't really need us expecting clients to sustain, we go out to get them or better still clients locate us. For Hair dressing business, you have to be extremely good and social to beat up competition from already established ones.

Best of luck.
