I opened my beauty salon just over two years ago and now feel it's time to move to bigger premises...but I'm scared! The new premises will have 4 treatment rooms, a spray tan room, relaxation room and ample space in reception for three nail desks. At the moment I have one treatment room and a tiny room that I use for eyelash treatments with two nail desks in the front. I currently employ two therapists, one full time and one part time so I will need to increase the part time therapists hours and employ another full time therapist or possibly take on an apprentice. The rent on the bigger premises is just over double and with the additional wages cost and decoration and additional furniture and equipment it's not going to be cheap. I have been very lucky in that my current salon is very busy and I have only recently started to reap the awards, so to put myself back to square one again financially scares me. The premises are literally 50 yArds away so I know that I won't lose any clients. Has anyone else moved to larger premises. I'd be really interested to hear your experiences. Thanks. X
