Well, first you have to write a business plan. If you own one of these, you can then apply for a loan (if needed.) A business plan take about a month to write if you want to be thorough. Here's a indication for a salon type place. http://www.bplans.com/spv/3277/index.cfm?affiliate=pas
Also, if you have business question, you can ask a SCORE rep at www.score.org




Answers:
Where are you, what are you stuck on?
Have you found a location, a space?
Have you priced equipment, close to the chairs people sit within to get their fuzz done and mirrors and shelves for the beauty store?
I would start beside finding a suitable space and renting or buying it.
Then fill it up next to the stuff you need (might own to remodel the space first) then hire the staff and depart.
I don't own personal experience but I found some handy resources for you. To make it easier, I'll split up the details on the subject of your retail store and your spa/salon services.
