setting up a salon in hurghada!!!!

Hello English Hair dresser

Just a tip: In Egypt both sexes don't go to the same place for a haircut or Hair-Do.

Ladies go to a Hair Salon and Men go to a Barber Shop.We do not have the mixed culture thing in hair cutting, as I know it is quite common in ur country and western countries.

Other than that I think it is a GREAT idea

Your 12-yr experience is needed indeed, and u would be surprised how many Ladies really like pampering themselves in Egypt and going for regular Hair-dos and Hair cuts at the Hairdresser.

Maybe a Pedi or Mani as well

About starting in Hurghada,I'll tell u what I think:

it is a pretty dynamic location full of tourists and visitors, but most women there, are at the beach wetting their hair, or focused on the fun and night life not really into doing their hair to get ruined by the humidity and beach.

Maybe residents would like to go. U need to discuss it with other business owners.

Cairo is a great location too, the busy city,  and u will have no trouble getting started i bet!

Good Luck!
