I opened my shop this March. Location was key for my success. I am in a great neighborhood on a street with heavy traffic and great visibility. I had to do a build out for my space and that cost a quite a bit. It would have been cheaper if I was in a space already built out. I did not go with traditional salon furniture which saved me money and also made my space much prettier. I hate jetted pedi spas and instead use stainless steel bowls. That saved money on plumbing. I make all my scrubs and soaks which my clients love and it is more cost effective. My shop is all natural with an emphasis on health and wellness. It helps to set your shop apart from the others.
