It's not easy starting a new hair salon or spa business. You have a lot of factors to consider which can make or break the business from the start. One factor is your location. Will clients drive to your place of business or not. When they get there do they feel safe walking from the parking area to the front door. This can vary a lot depending on your clientele a the city you live in.
Second to location is salon design. While a basic salon can make money and serve the needs of the community a upscale salon with amazing ambiance could double the amount each client spends. the trend is for more elegant surroundings so keep this in mind when working on a budget.
One factor that can move your salon from ordinary to extraordinary is your selection of salon chairs. I am sure most will run down to the local beauty supply and find really cheap looking black chairs that have not be re-designed in 30 years. Shampoo bowls made out of cheap vinyl and pushed up to a matching chair. None of these selections will attract clients or help you increase your standard prices.
Due to limited local supply most buyers shop on the net. You have unlimited selections of lower and higher quality available. Bottom line is low price will usually mean low quality. I have purchased both and find this statement to be true in every case.
Many of the low cost pieces are made of the lowest quality materials the manufacturer can find. The color fades, the fabric smell like oil or chemicals which transfer to your clients clothes. The base bends and is so weak clients can easily break the chair and fall to the floor. Higher quality can run 3-5 times more but last many years in hard salon use.
Shopping on line is fine as long as you look for a good guarantee and a manufacturer that has been in business a long time. Look at how a piece is packages. Packaging tells a lot about how a company does business. If they spend money to have good packaging they usually don't cut corners on manufacturing.
