Recently, people have begun to devote more and more time to their health and appearance. In response to active demand, massage parlors and SPA salons began to appear rapidly in Russian cities, where people can not only improve their health, but also relax after a hard day at work. In order to open your own massage studio, you do not need any special investments. In addition, experts predict that a good massage parlor will pay off in a couple of months.
Instructions
Step 1
If you decide to open a massage parlor, then you need to find a suitable room. According to statistics, most people visit massage rooms not for medical reasons, but for pleasure and well-being. It is important for such clients that the massage parlor is located near the house, preferably in the next house. That is why it is better to open a massage room in a residential area and it is good if it is an area of elite development. As for the area of the premises, then everything will depend on your ambitions. The room should accommodate at least one massage room (not too cramped, otherwise visitors will feel uncomfortable), a reception and a reception room. The optimal area for a massage parlor is 80-100 m2.
Step 2
The second stage is the preparation of the premises and the purchase of equipment. According to the SES standards, the walls of the office must be covered with either washable wallpaper or tiles. The massage salon must have a bathroom with a toilet. No special funds are required for the purchase of equipment: you will need a couple of massage tables, a couple of couches, and a portable table for providing services at home. In addition, you will need to neatly furnish the reception area. You will need special oils to provide massage services. You can buy them in bulk from specialized professional stores.
Step 3
The success of a particular massage parlor largely depends on the staff you choose. The main attention should be paid to the selection of a masseur. Good massage therapists are usually in private practice, but can agree to work in a salon for a good stable salary. Alternatively, you can lure a masseur from another salon according to the recommendations of his clients. When choosing a massage therapist for your salon, choose a multi-profile specialist. The more techniques a masseur has, the better, because the same type of massage quickly bothers clients. To open a salon, it will be enough to select two proven masseurs who will work in shifts. In addition to massage therapists, do not forget to hire an administrator and accountant, unless, of course, you are ready to take on these functions.
Step 4
Once the massage parlor is open, you will need to advertise it. Experts recommend hanging a noticeable sign over the entrance, which will interest residents of neighboring houses. In addition, you can post advertisements at the entrances of neighboring houses and distribute leaflets in the mailboxes. The most effective means of attracting customers, according to experts, is word of mouth.
