Hi everyone,
I’m not currently in the hair industry, I’m trained in the beauty side of things. I’m just wondering, are blow dry bars alone enough to make money?
I have a business idea in mind (I have a business degree yet never owned my own business), but as I’m not in the industry those of you who are may be better equipped to tell me what’s what.
So basically, just blow drying. Nothing else. No products for sale, no treatments being offered. Basically they want their hair blow dried and that’s what they get. Fixed price for the most part. I see blow dry bars elsewhere but they always have nails or tanning or some kind of other treatment somewhere in the salon.
What I’ve noticed is when I go to get my hair done I feel like I’m paying for the ‘image’. Do customers really care about a massage chair, champagne or built in tvs in the mirror? Would they not prefer to get their hair blow dried promptly but done well in a basic salon every week for £20?
I may be mad here but I’m wondering is there space for a ‘Ryanair’ style hair salon that’ll just get the job done, no frills?
I personally don’t like spending too long in the hairdressers chair, I find it an awful waste of my time! I’m sure others love it but I just like to get in, get the job done and go about enjoying the rest of my day.
I would obviously be looking for very well trained staff, the quality of the service provided would be of utmost importance and making the customer feel comfortable and welcome, yet also having a quick turnaround time.
Any insight appreciated! Maybe this is just madness?!
