Hello everyone,
Many thanks for reading my post.
My husband has decided to open a barbers shop (something he has wanted to do for some time), and we have rented a really large shop on a main road in a good part of town, which is surrounded by other shops and residential properties. It needs a bit of work (which we are currently doing both day and night!) and it should be ready within the next month or so.
However, it is way too large for just him on his own, so we were thinking of renting out styling stations to other hairdressers who would work on a self-employed basis. We would supply all products, reception staff, gowns, equipment, refreshments, a booking system, business cards etc all they would need is their own skill, time and any equipment which is personal to them (scissors, dryer, straightners etc). I want to try and appeal to people who want their own shop, but can't really afford to open one, I would be providing the shop, paying rates etc.
They would have to commit to a minimum number of hours per week, and every month decide on their timetable, so that forward bookings could be made. Other than that they would be able to work as many hours a day as they like per day.
To provide this service, we were thinking of paying the hair stylists, 30% of any revenue they make, increasing to 40% for anything they make over £1000 per week.
Do you think this is fair and is there anything that you would suggest, or anything we should be aware of ? Any comments, appreciated!
Many thanks all!
