Hi Turkishtart , heres another post that may help too :hug:
In return for rent you (the salon owner would) provide all beauticians and hairdressing sinks, electric plug points running water hot and cold,
toilet facilities,
a staff room , a receptionist to take appointments phone calls ,and handle cash,
Client record cards or computerized record bank ect
(for the owner to keep if staff leave)
Heating lighting and fixtures and fittings such as hairdressing chair , and dressing table , storage room for stock
preferably all lockable cupboards
(saves a hell of lot arguments )
A couple of nail desks
again all lockable :green:
because sometimes usually out of sheer desperation tints ,nail polish, ect get borrowed and never get given back ,
This is a major bone of contention with staff who supply their own products
they get so get fed up and will walk out if their products go missing all the time
so
Lockable storage, and stations are a must
Also lot of nail techs, Hairdressers , and beauticians like to use their own brand of products , so its best they supply all their own stock ,
other salons work on a percentage basis the staff still buy all their own stock ect and they give you 25% to 30% of everything they make .
If you were to provide all of the stock ;
(do check with inland revenue as this can be classed as employing people )
instead then you would have to work out a bigger percentage in your favor usually figure of about 50 /50 or 60/40 if any product is involved ? eg a haircut
No product 50 /50
with product
60/40 to you
If you use a lot of certain products you may get discounted prices with certain company's for using their brand , so shop around and ask.
Also a very important issue is to have a contracts of employment set out for your any staff ,
get some professional legal advice about this as it will have to be clear in it what they are responsible for and what you are responsible for ,
eg what thier rates of pay are or the percentages or rent charged ect
when any contract and price reveiws will take place,
what to charge the clients
eg they must be responsible for all their own
insurance taxes vat if any ect ect .
You will definitely need this ,
hope this helps ,:hug: Im off for a cuppa now
