Regular 'clinics' for specialist treatments

[Debbsxo]

Hi Geeks - just after a bit of advice & info if poss.

I'm opening a salon soon & will be level 3 with a pt level three employee but neither of us do spmu, Botox, fillers, holistics, sports therapy massage etc.

Having been spreading the word about my new venture for a while (giddy kipper doesn't cover it :lol I've realised there is potentially a market for some of these treatments with no-one locally supplying many of them.

So....... I've done my research and found various well respected and very good practitioners who would be willing to come and practice in my salon on a regular basis (weekly, monthly, etc)

My question is, does anyone else do this? Does it work well? How does it work? Is it commission based or daily rate room rental rate etc........

I realised the beauty industry is mahooosive & would prefer to get experts in where applicable and stick to what I'm good at rather than trying to train in everything and not be a Master!!! ;-)

Thanks in advance

Debbs xx

Hello I completely agree with you. I have seen too many bad Botox jobs and fillers in my industry. We have in our main city nearest me a dermatologist who has dedicated days to just skin rejuvenation therapies, the receptionist books out 8-12am every 2nd week and the doctor comes. Prices are same as you pay if you went to his practice in town but I think the contract agreement is based on each individual.
Some take a commission or finder fee others salons rent their room out for a rate other have a mutual referral agreement so both parties benefit.

If you going for Botox or fillers you would need follow up facials to maintain do doctor would refer ppl. And visa versa. Also some clients who would save themselves travelling to his office go to your salon because it is closer, hence that gives your salon exposure to new clients who otherwise wouldn't know you or know what you offer. And being affiliated with a dermatologist or specialist automatically I would as a client think more higher regard for this salon.

So in my opinion it's a win win situation. However if you get a bad specialist or fruitcake you doing urself a major dis service.
So make sure you research well and preferably on your short list u have made, I personally would get or go to that doc for a "consultation " see his or her manor how they work etc.

Take it from there!
Good luck xx


Beauty at your finger tips!
