Putting an offer in for new premises for my salon - a few questions

[MrsHBeauty]

Soo exciting it will be a great move for my salon. Just got to get the final confirmation from the bank regarding the money, then on Tuesday we're putting in the offer. I am confident we can secure it before it goes to auction on the 25th June - especially with money in the bank and no mortgage to sort out.

I will be adding some hairdressing stations (on a rent a chair basis) we will have 4 beauty rooms, 2 nail desks and 4 hairdressing stations. Plus staff kitchen 3 toilets 3 cupboards.

Q1)How many back washes do I need for 4 hair dressing stations?

Q2) what have you found the best way to advertise for hairdressers to rent a chair? I would prefer existing clientele, established hair dressers.

Q3) has anyone had any luck employing a nail tech to do extensions and manicures but not any gel polish/shellac?

Q4) I have a room which has room for probably 4 couches and was thinking about hiring it out for a training venue. It's a great location by a public carpark 5 mins from the M5. Is there a good way or place to advertise this?

Q5) would I be required to supply someone to clean up hair etc for the hairdressers or shall they do it they're selves.

I have a million more but ill prob save them for my hairdresser when I next see her.

Ooo good luck, how exciting for you!

Q1) at a busy hair salon (well 2 actually) I worked at as a sat girl we only ever had 2 back washes for more than 4 stylists.

As for cleaning up hair etc id say it is up to them to manage between them.

Or you could offer a higher rent & employ a junior to wash hair & clean up / take appointments.

I think the training room sounds like a fab idea too!

2 back washes will be more than sufficient. We run 15 mirrors with 3! Lol
