How to set up a salon from scratch?

If you don't have salon experience or have never opened your own business, don't worry! So, here we will teach you how to set up a beauty salon starting from the basics.

First, know that there are several options on the market, such as setting up a salon in your own home, for example. That way, this is a good way to save on renting the place.

By the way, have you ever thought about creating a mobile beauty salon? So, the innovative idea is to adapt a vehicle like a van, for example, with all the apparatus of a beauty salon. That way, you can take the services anywhere in your city!

However, if these options are not possible for you, you can search for a good place in your city with a lower rent. When looking, keep in mind that you may want to expand your business by offering more and more types of services in your salon.

Next, it's time to determine what types of services you want to offer in your salon. So, depending on the size of the place you choose to start with, think about the basic services of a beauty salon.

Therefore, services such as men's, women's and children's haircuts are the main ones to think about. By the way, you can also offer chemical procedures and painting, manicure, pedicure, among others. It all depends on the size of the place.

Then, after deciding on the place and services, you must choose all the structure and equipment for your beauty salon. So read on and find out more!

Well, this is a very important question when deciding how to set up your beauty salon. After all, buying too many items can strain your budget. Likewise, buying too few things can make your employees and customers uncomfortable.

After all, some procedures take longer and it is important that your clients feel comfortable and welcomed.

First of all, think about the most basic items like:

  • mirrors
  • cutting chairs
  • Armchairs for waiting area
  • auxiliary carts
  • wash basins
  • Professional equipment such as scissors, dryers and flat irons, for example
  • Professional hair products

Also, if possible, think about purchasing fans or even an air conditioner. Keep in mind that too many appliances turned on at the same time can make the room uncomfortably hot. So this can be an essential purchase in the summer months.

By the way, it is also important to think about the customer waiting area. Look for comfortable armchairs and, if possible, a place for smokers is also a good idea. This way, your customers will be comfortable when waiting for service or even during longer chemical procedures.

Different services offered by salons

In that sense, maybe you have questions about how to set up a beauty salon offering just the basics. However, the idea is that you can always think about expanding your business by offering more and more differentiated services.

Therefore, you can start with simple services such as men's, women's and children's haircuts. In addition, you can also start by offering some types of chemistry, painting, brushing and hairstyles.

In addition, there are other types of services that you can think about further, such as:

  • Manicure
  • Pedicure
  • Hair removal
  • Facial cleaning
  • Massage
  • Body esthetics
  • Wedding day, among others.

By the way, keep in mind that the more services you offer, the larger your workplace must be to be able to comfortably accommodate all customers and employees. In addition, you can also offer specific services, such as a beauty salon especially for children, for example.

However, do not forget that specialized services require training. Thus, investing in professional courses for your employees can be a good idea. Remember that more specialized service attracts more customers.

As such, there are several areas for expansion that you can plan for in the future. But don't go ahead, start with the basics and what fits in your pocket. Likewise, you can plan yourself slowly.

What is the average profit of a beauty salon?

So, if you're thinking about how to set up a beauty salon, you're probably also wondering how much you're going to earn with this venture.

However, it is difficult to say exactly how much you will profit from a salon, as it all depends on the number of services offered, the monthly expenses of each one of them and, of course, the flow of customers.

Therefore, it is important that you know that the more varied your service, the greater your profit. Generally speaking, a profit margin of 80% to 120% on services and products sold in your beauty salon is recommended.

Also, do not forget to count on expenses such as an accountant, notary expenses, and registration of the place that must be done at the city hall. Thus, you will be able to legally hire employees and, consequently, offer more services.

Finally, invest in good publicity and ensure good financial control. Small salons can earn up to five figures at the end of the month, but keep an eye on spending and customer flow! You will definitely get there too!
