Answer
To begin, you'll need to obtain a cosmetology license and a business license. Licensing requirements vary by city, county and state, so you'll want to check with your local government office to see which applies to you. Some my include:
- Building permit (if you plan to do construction) or zoning permit (if you are developing land for business use)
- Health permit
- Occupational permit (often for home-based businesses)
- Signage permit
There are several costs that go into starting a salon, including equipment and supplies, styling chairs, signs, insurance, business license, a lease and advertising. Although it may be more expensive, a storefront that receives more foot traffic can often decrease your monthly advertising costs.
Putting together a business plan before you start can give you a really good idea of start-up and operation costs so you can allocate your funds accordingly. Here's a free sample business plan of a beauty salon that may be helpful to review:

Attracting clientele: You'll attract more customers by standing out from your competition. Offer something different - a variety of services, a unique atmosphere, more convenient hours, special events, etc.
Use the media to get free publicity for your business with
very little work. This can be done by writing a simple press release to your local paper announcing your salon opening - Tie it in with a special even if you can. Here are some publicity tips for beauty salons:

What is the best hair glue to use for extensions other then liquid glue ?
Kim L
i hear a glue called magic ... something i can't remember the name is pretty good. what other glues are good to last for 2 weeks?
i also understand that if your hair gets oily the glue will wear out, is there a way to solve this ?
Answer
You won't get a proper glue that just lasts two weeks. I use glue guns in my salon as well as hot fusion(but you need a licence to be able to use it)

If you only want extensions i suggest clip ins - try HAIR-DO as even the synthetic one have a nice effect and the Jessica simpson ones are great
