we are from Karachi,Pakistan. A family of 6 including 2 senior citizens, 2 childrens and 2 adults. We want to mind up our businesses from Karachi and shift to Qatar; residence as well as business. we would like to be acknowledged with places suitable for running a saloon and for residence purposes also; not too far from Madina Khalifa.

First of all, you will find it difficult to get and retain visa for senior citizens here. The fact that Pakistan visa is difficult to get doesn't help either. Thirdly in my corner I have seen one parlor folding up. So think thrice.

Every corner of the street there is Beauty Saloons.

Unless you start your business with a big group associated or in a 5 star hotel, success of the business is very doubt.

Most of the parlors are managed by wife as just a time pass or to keep occupied.

Think twice

I hope you have studied and understood business setup requirements in Qatar, as well as you are familiar with immigration requirements.

Beauty Saloon is good idea, it would be successful if you are able to attract local customers.

Wish you good luck.

Well, the one salon I know is successful now, but they pay over 50,000 QR a month in rent. And a Qatari has to own the business.
