Business setup

  • Online booking and a way to take payments.
  • A simple system to track income and expenses.

Tools and supplies

  • Towels, capes and linens. At NR, shared laundry is on site.
  • Cleaning and disinfecting supplies.

Make it yours

  • Good lighting for your work and for photos.
  • A small spot for clients to put their things.

Before your first client
