Independent barber relocating to a safer area struggles with the decision between renting a suite at $600-$1000/month or working from home, facing concerns over cost, zoning, privacy, and client logistics.

No clear existing solution that balances cost savings of working from home with professional separation, zoning compliance, and client management — barber needs a dedicated but affordable workspace without the overhead of a traditional suite.
