Like the title states, I have out grown my home base salon!
This time last year I was mobile across the North of England and Staffordshire. However I moved to strictly y home base, as I was fully booked and it made sense to stay in a base. I lost alot of clients including celebrities, however it didn't end badly for my brand.
Fast forward to this year- the past several months I have been extremely busy and work every day mostly back to back. I really need help and I desperately need a least one other stylist as well as a barber.
My home base salon cannot accommodate extra staff, so I will mostly likely need to rent a salon
Could I ask what you all did when you were fully booked, needed to expand but did not have thousands to buy a salon? So far I have managed everything without a loan, put money back into the business and built up slowly.
Years ago, several times I tried renting a chair in a salon. It didn't end up working out. This was because I needed to build my own brand and maintain my reputation. To my luck this has worked, and I have many new clients who are celebrities and happy to come to my home base salon!
Shall I save up, rent a salon and hire staff?
I am really flat out tired and continually turning away clients despite raising prices several times. What do I do! Help!
Thanks in advance xx
