Hello guys, I was wondering how other self employed colleagues here set treatment pricing. I rent a room in an existing salon and pay a weekly rate.
1. Do you set treatment pricing according to your qualifications and experience, location and other factors? I do not want to set pricing too low but also want to be competitive with other businesses in the area.
2. The room I am renting does not have any equipment and I am buying everything I need for treatments. Is it advisable to also invest in redecorating the room and paint the walls.
3. In the room renting contract/agreement, what would be a reasonable notice period for either myself or the salon owner to end the arrangement? I would like to have some security as I will be investing in all the equipment and products, and would like a reasonable period of time to look for alternative venue/room in other businesses, in case the salon owner wants me to leave.
4. I will have some of my products and equipment in the common area of the salon especially for nail treatments like nail polish. What precaution should I take to make sure my products and equipment are not used by other workers on my non-working days? Or shall I put my things away everyday at the end of my working day and then put them back on display the next day? Or would a cctv be a better option?
Thank you so much for your guidance and advice. I really appreciate it.
