If you are interested in hairdressing and dream of owning your own business, why not combine it? However, opening your own salon means that you will be responsible for all aspects of the business, including accounting, inventory, hiring and firing employees, payroll, hairdressing salon design, advertising, and more.
Instructions
Step 1
Obtain a license for this type of activity. Check out the sanitary rules and regulations for hairdressing salons. Insure your business.
Step 2
Visit other hairdressing salons and identify their business practices. Define your target audience and then start customizing your salon to meet the needs of your customers. The services offered can vary significantly depending on the income level of potential customers.
Step 3
Determine how many hairdressers and stylists you need for your salon. Be guided by services, which may include haircuts, curls, dyes, electrolysis, and extensions. Visit stylist schools to find talented students to join your team. Create suitable working conditions for each employee. They need to be professional about fashion so that customers can trust their taste.
Step 4
Set up your salon. You will need a large number of electrical outlets, a chair for each hairdresser, a laundry room, a bathroom and rest area, dryers, and a reception area with 10-20 chairs or several sofas. This requires approximately 800 square meters. Consider placing coffee machines and background music. Your location should be convenient for customers, for example, in a shopping center.
Step 5
Purchase beauty products and cutting tools. Buy in bulk combs, brushes, hair dye, scissors, lotions, spa products, capes and aprons. Don't forget cash registers, checks, and other financial supplies. Set a pricing policy and consider accepting credit cards. Promote your hair salon in popular media and get positive customer reviews.
