Instruction manual

1

Decide on the positioning of your cabin. Today, many entrepreneurs in this area make a common mistake, trying to offer maximum services. Meanwhile, such diversity looks very suspicious and raises doubts about the quality and professionalism. Therefore, bet on one direction. If you have a medical education and the prospect of obtaining a license, get involved in the services of aesthetic and wellness medicine. If you are more interested in the field of hairdressing and professional cosmetics, give preference to this area.

2

After registering your company, solve all administrative issues and find a good room. Examine your area and nearby competitors. Inside, create a pleasant atmosphere with the help of thoughtful decor, interesting design, comfortable furniture, beautiful music. Each client must have at least 8 m² of space. Organize the space so that visitors feel comfortable.

3

The main expense item in the organization of the salon is equipment and supplies. To provide cosmetic services, choose modern devices. Manufacturers can be found at exhibitions, while there is a chance to get the equipment itself on favorable terms.

4

Choose 2-3 brands of professional cosmetics that will be used in the salon. Make an agreement with the owners of these brands. In the case of the official use of cosmetics, manufacturers will not only provide you with the entire range at the most favorable prices, but will also provide you with all kinds of promotional materials - from company display cases to booklets. In addition, owners of cosmetic brands often organize master classes and trainings for masters.

5

Properly selected staff plays one of the key roles in organizing a beauty salon. Since there are too many offers in this market, most clients try to find "their master", be it a hairdresser, massage therapist or pedicure master. Professionals with experience, as a rule, have their own client base. People with whom the master has been working for many years will almost always visit the salon in which he works.

6

Choose one of the staffing schemes. You can rent a workplace to the master by setting a fixed amount, which he must rent monthly, regardless of revenue. In this case, the master uses his supplies. Or set a certain percentage of total income as a salary. In this case, you must take care of supplying the salon with everything you need.

note

Pay particular attention to cleanliness. Previous customer’s hair on tools or dirt on the floor can nullify all efforts to attract customers.
