To all the salon owners out there, do you have any advice for me? I currently work mobile and homebased with a good client base. At the minute I only work nights and weekends since having my youngest daughter. I have been in the industry just over 7 years, and took a break while having the girls, just keeping in touch by doing treatments on family, attending trade shows, industry magazines and here of course.
I feel ready to have my full-time career now, and I'm in the process of putting together a business plan, and cashflow forecast, as well as saving money to help get a loan towards opening a salon. I know how to be a good therapist, but I have been researching and getting training to help make me a good business woman. Its hard work.
I'm looking for some honest, cut the c*** business advice from salon owners. What would you do differently if you had to do it again? I want to hear everyone's stories of how they ended up in the industry, what good and bad experiences they have of salon ownership, and did you work as a therapist and owner? Or did you employ staff right away? Will you share your stories with me please?
