Hiya.
I am in the early stages of setting up my own salon. I've found a great little spot. Needs a bit of work to it but I've got savings and my husband is a great handyman, lol. I've worked out my overheads and to cover them, I need at least 15 clients a week? Do you think this is achievable? Obviously, I will be doing heaps of advertising and marketing. I've got a website and facebook page already. The salon is slap bang in the middle of a busy high street. I have a mobile business but I think I read on here a few weeks ago that very few mobile clients follow you into a Salon. I'm going to keep mobile for a while as well which will help. But ultimately, I need 15 clients a week to cover my overheads. Although a majority of my treatments will be the same as the other 2 salons in the area (who are rushed off their feet) I'm going to be offering other treatments as well like reflexology, indian head massage, hopi ear candle treatments, myscara.
Any advice and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Mandy
