Too many salon owners who are also sketchy and then "don't have all the money right now" and the bed is already in the salon and delivered.

Bottom line - do some research. Ask questions. Ask for references. Make sure you know you are dealing with someone reputable. And if they do a GOOD job by you - or a bad job - post it here in the community for others to be able to research from in the future.
