Bridal Hair and Makeup Artist moving to the area, Advice please! (Charlotte: salon, weddings)

[eegray]

Hi Everyone! I'm moving from NYC to North Carolina (either Charlotte or Raleigh/Durham) in Feb/March and have been doing my research, but just wanted to see if anyone had any input about which city/area would have the people that are most likely to spend money on their weddings. Thanks so much!

I don't think there is much of a difference between the two in terms of people that would most likely spend money on wedding related services.

Are you looking to work at a Salon / Day spa?

Why not pick a city popular for "Destination Weddings" like Charleston or another coastal community?

Thanks so much! Yes, I have been thinking more and more of Charleston. I plan on working for myself for awhile, and then hopefully opening up my own bridal boutique down the line. I might consider working for a day spa, if that was a good lead you're offering

Hi! I am a on site wedding hair stylist in Cincy looking to expand my business in NC as well... have you decided where you are going to settle yet? It would be great to possibly know someone to team up with on weddings!
