If you decide to open a massage parlor, then you need to find a suitable room. According to statistics, most people visit massage rooms not for medical reasons, but for pleasure and well-being. For such clients, it is important that the massage parlor is not far from the house, preferably in the neighboring house. That is why it is better to open a massage room in a residential area and it is good if it is an elite building area. As for the area of ​​the room, then everything will depend on your ambitions. The room should fit at least one room for massage procedures (not too crowded, otherwise visitors will feel uncomfortable), a reception room and an administrator's room. The optimal area for a massage parlor is 80-100 m ?.

The second stage is the preparation of the premises and the purchase of equipment. According to SES standards, cabinet walls should be covered with either washable wallpaper or tile. In the massage parlor there must be a bathroom with a toilet. You don’t need special funds to purchase equipment: you will need a couple of massage tables, a couple of couches, as well as a portable table for providing services at home. In addition, you will need to carefully arrange the reception. For the provision of massage services you will need special oils. You can purchase them in bulk at special professional stores.

The success of this or that massage room depends on the personnel chosen by you. The main attention should be paid to the selection of a massage therapist. Good massage therapists usually have private practice, but may agree to work in the salon for a good stable salary. Alternatively, you can lure the masseur from another salon according to the recommendations of his clients. Choosing a massage therapist for your salon, stop at a specialist of a wide profile. The greater the set of techniques a masseur will own, the better, because the same type of massage quickly bothers customers. To open a salon, it will be enough to select two proven massage therapists who will work in shifts. In addition to massage therapists, do not forget to hire an administrator and accountant, unless, of course, you are ready to take on these functions.

As soon as the massage parlor starts working, you will need to deal with its advertising. Experts recommend hanging a noticeable sign above the entrance that will interest residents of neighboring houses. In addition, you can put up ads at the entrances of neighboring houses and put flyers in the mailboxes. According to experts, the most effective means of attracting customers is word of mouth.
