If you are allergic to latex, then a latex sauna suit is not an option for you. Exposure to latex in the individual who is allergic can cause him or her to go into anaphylactic shock. Anaphylactic shock is the most severe form of allergic reaction, and it occurs when the body’s immune system overreacts to the allergen, in this case latex, and can cause the person to go into shock, followed by rapidly falling blood pressure and difficulty breathing. It is possible in severe cases for death to occur without immediate medical attention. If you are allergic than you will want a sauna suit made out of an alternative material. Some alternatives include nylon, vinyl or plastic and are very cheap to buy and fix if need be.

Furthermore, there may actually be hefty breach of contract fees as well if, in fact, your franchise doesn't do as well as projected and fails within the first few years!

It’s finally time to start shopping for used salon equipment. My budget is limited for getting the new business off the ground, so used equipment looks like the best way to go.

I can’t wait to be my own boss, but I have to figure out the financials first.
