Yikes! I've just had an e-mail with a very rough quote for converting a unit into my new salon (not quite signed the lease!!).And it's already £1k over what I had considered without putting in basins, heaters, and a whole lot more.....
To make me feel better is anyone prepared to say how much their conversion costs were?? I'm looking at 750sq ft with two treatment room, reception, office and storage. One of the rooms is meant to be pretty big!! We are not talking flashy here. Just a whole load of stud walls and a couple of windows (at £350 each plus labour... to give you some idea...).
I'm suddenly getting a horrible cold feeling in my stomach and wondering if this is the commitment I want to make... However, I did speak to a therapist similar position to me who said opening her salon 'a little bit later in life' was the best thing she'd done! If anyone's spent anything from £10k above I'd feel a whole lot better!!!! I don't know if I'm just being tight...
For the record, I'm also waiting for a quote from another builder....
Being a grown up is never as much fun as you think it'll be when you're doing the growing up!!
