Open a Hair Salon Part Two

The key point from my last post was…

You want to build a business not only a job. All your hard work should create a business with value.

Getting Started!

• You’ve got to have the ‘want it’ attitude!!!!!
• You’re a hot stylist, colourist or beautician who wants to build a business and be your own boss.
• You’ve got a few loyal clients who will follow you!

The Space!

• Find a cheap shop: size is important! Even more important is location – does the foot traffic flows well? Is there parking nearby? If in doubt: Location Location Location!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Check the areas demographic. You can check this out online usually through the local council or government.
• Found a shop you love? Floors ok? Check. Has a hot water tank? Check. Got a sink? Check. Maybe toilets, too?
• So now you’ve met the landlord/agent. Time to make him your best friend, after all, you need to cut a good deal with your lease. This is a very important part of what you need to do to make this a profitable business not just a job. Don’t skimp on the charm!!!
