Total career change - home beauty salon!

Hoping someone can point me in right direction, pros/cons etc. Have tried to search for relevant forums but not much success.

So at 47 and having been a SAHM for last 10 years am considering my options. I have always been interested in beauty therapy and have recently moved to a house with huge potential for running a home business. The relative flexibility is hugely attractive as although DC are still as school, they are teens and quite capable of looking after themselves in evenings.

Questions I have:

how feasible/realistic is it to set up a basic home salon?
Can it be a viable business?
What basic training would I need? Local college does NVQ 2/3 but that's over a year and I'd prefer to do some fast track training.
Which treatments are the most profitable?
Am I too old?!
What outlays are there?
Recommendations on relevant network support groups?
What else haven't I thought about ??!
