You then need to make connections with hair replacement providers. Making good business connections with reliable suppliers will allow you to keep a well supplied stock of high quality hair replacement products.
You will want to set up an office space in your home, with a reliable computer, fax and telephone. Having a reliable vehicle will also allow you to get from one service call to the next. Gather a variety of hair replacement samples to take with you on your service calls.
