Many entrepreneurs starting their hair salon business have limited financial resources. Such businessmen will find useful information on how to open a hairdressing salon on their own.
First you need to decide what type of hairdressing salon you will open. Hairdressing salons can be conditionally divided into three types.
In a classic hairdressing salon, as a rule, services are provided to clients who live or work nearby. The minimum range of services includes hair cutting and hair dyeing.
The beauty salon, in addition to the services of a simple hairdressing salon, provides:
- Manicure and pedicure.
- Cosmetologist services.
- Solarium.
- Sale of related products.
The advantages of such salons are that they provide high-quality services and a personal approach to each client.
Salon studio is a luxury hairdressing salon that provides personalized services. As a rule, such salons are opened on behalf of a famous stylist who has become a prize-winner of international competitions.
Having decided on the type, you need to choose a room in order to open a hairdressing salon. The premises should be as convenient as possible for your target audience. After all, the profit directly depends on the number of visitors. If you provide inexpensive hairdressing services, you should not skimp on the location of the premises. Renting an expensive and more visible hall will pay off with low costs for an advertising campaign and a huge flow of customers.
When opening a hairdresser, you should pay special attention to the issue of personnel selection. Depending on what kind of visitors will use your services, you can hire both young masters and experienced stylists.
In addition to wages, hairdressers receive a certain percentage of their daily profits. As a rule, it is 30 percent for simple craftsmen and from 50 percent for stylists.
For the normal operation of your hairdressing salon, you will need professional equipment. The master in his work uses his tools, which he buys for his own money. Typically, this set includes a pair of scissors, brushes, combs, a hair dryer and a hair clipper.
It would be nice to think over an advertising campaign, which can be quite varied. It will help you do a better job of attracting visitors.
