We paid 3 months deposit too which was £9,000 we also got 3 months rent free
 
Oh we have just set our opening date and its saturday 7th! im soo scared and excited lol
 
I paid £6,600 including vat that is 6 months up front and also that includes my solictors fees. And I also got 3 months free rent too. You can negotiate especially if its been on the market for a while

Wow that's great congratulations! I know how you feel I'm really nervous too my opening is a bit further away on the 28th September. Let us know how you get on x
 
I didn't think I'd feel this way, but I am soon nervous! We open in the morning...finally pull down all of the paper from the windows. My stomach is churning.
So much hasn't been done yet...even the sign isn't up (due next week) and there are a few areas that still need finishing so that we can get the photographer in, but open we must. Our official opening is next week on the 11th and its all crept up so quickly.
I'm meeting with CND on Wednesday so hopefully I'll have at least an hour with an industry peer whom I can run away with and hide! Lol.
Will try and post some photos tomorrow!
Yikes.

How did it go Hun? x
 
I am pleased to say it went without a hitch! Well, not many anyway! Lol

Will post some photos soon and a link to an album. Tough to be honest, we were so busy that I didn't get a chance to get my phone out for photos between the morning and the night!

Hope everyone else has been as successful!

OK, Here are a a few photos I managed to grab of our first day open, and rather than bore you all with the rest of 'em I have posted a link to the Facebook album of the rest of the snapshots - I am ssooooooo tired though - and the sign isn't even here yet! LOL

Hope this gives some of you some inspiration, hope or even proof that if you just keep painting you will eventually finish the place ;)

Absolutely stunning! If mine is a patch on yours I'll be over the moon! Congratulations :D
 
Really beautiful salon, especially like the dark rooms. You need a video walk through on your website. Well done and big congratulations for achieving this and making it happen. Very inspirational. Xx

How exciting tjo about getting your keys glad your getting there with it. We've just finished the decorating the first two pictures I've posted is the shop in green before we decorated it in to purple and put in the treatment rooms. I open on saturday 21st September still so much to do have to put up all the furniture clean get everything ready a long with my 2 year old helping I should expect lol! Can't believe I'm going back to work full time, think I'm more worried about leaving my baby :) bless her. I've got an open day on the 28th September a week after I open. Wish me luck! I've already got a couple of bookings yay! X
