Hi Girls/Guys.
I have been working for terrible money ( below minimum wage) managing a salon, with no thanks. I have helped open two salons previously, have all my own clients and know a lot about this business. I told a friend of mine to keep an eye out for a small cheap space for me to rent. She came back with a small space in an ideal location in the middle of the town . This was about two weeks ago ..
since then i have
My first £150 a week is untouched (for bills) before i take any money. I am working alone but considering renting a chair to a nail technician. I bought a nail station big enough for two girls and two clients.
The space is VERY small, enough for the nail station, waxing area and spray tanning. But it will work. My lease is 6 months, giving me the option if things go well to leave and get a bigger place.
I have not gone into retail products yet, the money i received just about covered my materiel's and i have none left. Not ideal.
Also, Have you any suggestions for introductory offers, or offers in general that you have maybe done well with in the past?
For the opening week , making money is not the main priority, attracting clientel is, so any offers even on the cheaper end welcomed.
I am running a loyalty scheme 5x EBW get 6th free.
I guess i'm just looking for some guidance, any and all opinions and advice welcomed.
Thank you in advance
