Renting space in Salon.

[anneself]

Hi guys,

I may have the possibility of renting space in a small hair salon. One hairdresser only but she wants someone to do manicures, pedicures and eventually nail extensions.

Can anyone let me know what percentage I should expect to pay her for this?

Can't wait to hear from you.

I never like percentage deals ... it always ends in tears!
What looks a good deal when you are starting up breeds allot of dissatisfaction when you are doing well.

If you can, go for a straight for a weekly rent.
Ask the salon to let you do a 3 month trial starting at a low rent for the first month and moving up over 3 months to the rent you have agreed on . Plus a get out clause for each of you if things do not work out at the end of 3 months.

You buy the products, book your own appointments. They supply coffee and do your laundry and include you in any promotional advertising.

hi ya i am inclined to agree with geeg (as always :lol when i first started renting space in a salon i started at £3 ph for a few months which then rose to £5 ph i had the advantage though that i swapped some of my free time for covering reception for the lady who's salon it was therefore nine times out of ten i took home everything i earnt :green: this was around 2 years ago now and im not sure as to rates for rent now adays and if they have changed much but i would definatly try it out on a trail basis first though! best of luck! x

Hi, I totally agree with this too,
percentages sound like a good idea at first but I dont care for them much either
it never ends up the way you expect it too,
its best to build up your own little business :hug: good luck

Whatever you decide please make sure you get a contract. Dont be fooled by people that SEEM very nice....business can sometimes do very strange things to change a person and I wouldnt like you to get the old backside bitten like I did when I first started out :hug:

This is exactly what I do and it works a treat!
I supply all my own products and as Geeg says my laundry and coffee/ tea and promotional advertising is included.
At my salon they have jouniors who take some bookings but most of the time I have my own diary by my desk and then I transfer them into the main salon diary so nobody double books me.
I started this in december 2007 and it was the best thing I ever did. I wish you the best of luck!!
