**Due Date: March 22nd**
 * Time line: 4 Weeks**

Most of this unit can be completed outside of your work experience. However, since there are a few questions that you may want to ask your work experience stylist such as how much products cost wholesale versus how much a salon sells them for, you will want to schedule one hour per week at the salon. If you do not have any questions for your stylist then you should go prepared to help out where needed: sweeping hair, folding towels, answering phones, general cleaning, etc.
 * Work Experience Requirements:**

In this unit you will learn the basics of owning and operating a salon.

Much of the information that you will need can be found in your textbook in Chapter 24: The Salon Business

Your assignment will be broken down into three different parts.


 * Part 1: Business Plan Guide (10 %)**
 * The Guide is meant to be just that, something that will guide you through the all of the decisions that you will have to make before opening a salon. The Guide is meant to get you thinking about what type of salon you will open and why. You should print off the assignment and then hand write on it. You can fax it to me at the end of the unit. You will not know all of the answers to the questions on the guide. It is meant to have you checking in your text to find out what information you need.
