Personal Services are an incredibly flexible business opportunity.  You can travel to
people's homes and offer your services, do it out of your home, own your own shop,
or rent a space in someone else's shop.  There is a lot of room for creative thinking
and marketing.  There is very little overhead since most of the work is just your time
and there is no sales tax on services so that's one less tax return to file.  

As with most businesses, customer service is your number one priority.  For services
like hair dressing, nails, and massage, your personal skill set makes the difference in
who returns to you and sends you their referral business.  Some customers will just
not like your style and you'll need to be thick skinned about it and not take it too
much to heart.
