I want to open a hair and beauty supply store. I've always loved looking at and trying out new products for your hair as well as make-up. My business will be geared towards not only the everyday woman who doesnt have time to go to the salon, but to hairstylist as well to help supply them with all the products they need in order to run their business. I will also cater to barber shop owners, they to will be able to purchase their business supplies from me. My store will carry various types of weaves and wigs. I will also carry beauty cosmetics as far as make-up and facial regimens. I have the location of where I want to place my business and what I want to sell, now I need to know what my first and finishing steps need to be.

1. Whats my first step?

2. How do I go about getting a business loan?

3.How do I find wholesalers for the products I want to sale?

4. About how much money would I need to start this type of business?

I would suggest you start with a business plan. Find a SBDC or SCORE office and ask them these questions. As you work through the process, you will find you answers. There are also free sample business plans on the web that could help you get started.

Lastly, there is a member on this forum that could help you. He posts under the name "TheSoloGuide" He helps people just like you get started.
