Make sure you have some clientele to follow you, i was at a location that strived for you to meet a quota. I was fresh out of school, and working in an entirely different city, with a whole different pace. My school was in a small town and there were days you may only have 1 client. The Fantastic Sams location I found a place at was much busier, and although we didn't take appointments they did allow requests of stylists.
