: I was thinking London.

Hmm....London big market and as far as im aware joshiv and co only
really concentrate on their training and bridal henna.

Trouble with london is that in the areas that are tourist attractions
ppd henna is rife and so is police crackdowns on illegal trade.

I have been to London and set up and traded there but its not nice
you cannot get a licence to trade....if you was to look at secure
premesis then your looking at large amounts of cash as its the
capital city.

However you can always advertise and go locally for trade. Do events
and functions....try to get a spot at the open markets etc etc.

You can do well there as long as you approach it in the right way (as
with anywhere and everywhere) but unfortunately its a major expensive
place to live and survive (as is the UK anyway compared to most other
countries esp the US)

It all depends on how you mean by doing henna....myself i do it as a
business and therefore its my main source of income. If you just
wanna do it locally and have few people round every now and then then
you should be able to manage this whilst having a job to bring in the
cash to live in london.

Up north where samantha lives is a whole different story.....cheaper
to live but less extra money to spend on fun things such as henna.

If London is set in your mind then i would suggest going to the
outskirts - head towards Southend......a tourist attraction.

If you are interested hennaboy studios is expanding and is offering
franchise opportunities throughout the UK depending on pitch and
other circumstances. You can always talk to us more if you wished to
embark on a hennaboy studio.

Need any more info.....brain to pick?....just ask!
