You may need to think through how you approach potential clients. Please don't be discouraged about the fact that your potential clients backed out. The fact that you maintain your own locs says a lot! You may be great already!!! If you do not need to be certified in Michigan then all you need to do is to brush up on your skills. It is always a good idea to be trained in your craft. There is money in it, but there is also work, and you have to be smart/creative about it. You have to have a live person to do hair, nails, makeup, etc. Think about it, this is the type of business that cannot be: The beauty business does seem to survive during trying times. I am so happy to hear that you are excited! Owning your own business can be so rewarding. Even in a distressed climate women come up with the hair maintenance money.You never know if you do not try.My issue is trying to find a legit Loctician course in Michigan.Also,how do I know that the course trainers are actually qualified to teach the courses and to give me a legit certificate?I live in Michigan and we do not have to be certified to do locs but I want to take the courses to advance my own skills.I know too,that some clients will feel more comfy knowing the person doing their hair is certified and has some exprience.I maintain my own nappylocs and I have the confidence to branch out.I have had three potential clients that backed out.I think they were afraid to be my first client.Even tough it was free!I always try to keep my locs well maintained as my advertisement for future business.My area is in desperate need of locticians being in the Michigan downriver area.OOps,Im babbling.Bye for now,Excited Newbie Hi,I too have always known I was born to help people with their hair beauty.Upon retirement within the next year I plan to do locs for extra income.I don't fear as much as I once did because it will not be my only means of income.I do believe however that it would be easier today with all the social medium available to us. It is a blessing to be able to do what you love! Please keep us posted if/when you decide to open your business. In certain cities around $175 a week with all utilities included. It is similar to what you would pay to rent a chair in someone's salon. They also usually give you a key to the building so that you service your clients at midnight if you want. These spaces usually come already fitted with salon equipment (chair, dryer, shampoo bowl), and will allow you to decorate them how you want. The space is in a building with other small spaces that are rented to other similar businesses (massage, make up, etc). For instance, there are places called "salon suites" or "salon studios" where you rent, by the week, your own personal salon space.
Then, after you build up your clientele you can start to expand. Start small, without having lots of expenses and a high overhead. So you have to use ongoing marketing to grow your business. You can use Social Media, Print Media, Word of Mouth, Referrals, etc.

You have to know how to market your business so that people are aware of what you offer, and there are so many ways to do this in this day and time. Erin, remember, no one can beat you being you! Your own unique qualities, if showcased properly, can be a calling card and draw customers. Having a steady flow of customers is about marketing and being unique.
In order to lessen the fear factor, do your homework going in to the business.
Never, ever let fear stop you from doing what you love. I'm glad that you love to do hair and are considering a business in this industry.
