Hi there. I'm new! I have just bought a house with a hairdressing salon on the front! There is currently a hairdressers business opperating from the premises but I intend to start my own business once they leave. There are 5 stations to fill. I have no knowledge of business or hairdressing and am wondering the best way to go about starting up.
Shall I rent the stations out? Is this the best way of generating money at first or would I be better to employ hairdressers on a 50/50 basis.
If I rent the chairs out, who pays for the products? How will I know what to order?
What insurance do I need?
Will I need to employ a receptionist or would the hairdressers be prepared to answer the phone and take their own bookings?
Would I need to employ someone to wash hair?
Sorry to be so ignorant but I really haven't a clue.
Owning a hairdressers could be a way of getting my family (I have 3 children and a husband on a very low income while he retrains) out of a big black hole so any advice you could offer would be greatfully recieved!
Many thanks in anticipation
