Hello, Im a hairstylist and I have worked for current salon for 2 years. I wanna rent a studio and work on my own. How can I legally let clients know where I move without being sued from salon owner. I never sign any contract or non-compete agreement with my employer. Thanks.

If you did not sign a non-compete agreeement then there is nothing preventing you from soliciting former clients. However, while you are still employed by the salon owner you do have a fiduciary duty to your employer not to drive business away, so you should not speak with the customers about this while you are still employed there, but wait until you have left.
