New salon

[suse82]

I'm so excited and scared at the same time. Ive just bought a property and I have just heard today that everything is finalised. It's now mine! It is pretty much just 4 bare walls!!! I'm giving myself till October to get it up and running. I'm planning on having a part time employed stylist and going from there. Anyone got any tips and advice?!?

How exciting! Just make sure you thoroughly trade test your potential stylist and offer them a (3 or 6 month?) probationary period first.
They'll probably start off keen but will struggle to keep up the pretence after 4 months if they're not that bothered.

I am a bit worried about this, I need someone i can trust and rely on and obviously I want them as keen as I am... I'm prepared to be good to them with wages and training but I expect all the above in return. I think 6 months trial sounds like the best idea!

Woo hoo! Well done suse!

I don't have much advice to give but Do you have enough clients to share between yourself and another stylist yet? I've been open 3 years now and am only now at the point of considering employing a stylist, just thinking of cash flow for you in the early days. I rented a chair to a friend in the beginning which helped towards the rent.

Those bare walls should get filled with your beautiful artwork!

I'll be located north of Dundee tiny little village you've probably never heard of [emoji1]

I think I do, I've got a waiting list and continuously getting new clients, well the ones that are willing to wait. So it'll be such a help
