the thing is it's hard to set up any salon business, even with offers you have came up with is great.but why not go free lance first,so u can build up a clients first and see that way and you want lose as much if it went belly up. but it might not in the end. I would go for this offer myself,but the things you need to think about is location and image too. good look with it all

First of all lets address the eyelash extensions,have you ever had these? 45 Dollars is too cheap i charge 350.00 for 120 lashes 60 per eye. These services are great but need to be broader. People wil come to your salon,but there is alot to opening and maintaining a good business. My mom has a salon in beverly hills.She has had her business 23 years,she is extremely succesful.She has 6 people that rent booths from her that do different tasks ,colorin,perming,washing ,blowdrying,nails, esthetician,manicurist,just some examples of services they provide. After 23 years my mom has a great reputation which helps alot. You can make fabulous money,my mom makes close to 2 million a year. Of course all of that is not to take home but she has to reinvest in her business.I can give you alot of tips.Feel freee to email me. caria_inniss@yahoo.com

Waldenbooks/Borders has a book specifically about opening your own salon. If you go to Amazon.com, they probably have it cheaper. I looked through it since my sister is a stylist and there was a lot of info in it. I don't go to the salon since my sis is a stylist.

I would add some of the old favourites like eye-lash tinting and facials.

Do you have a certificate in massage as it’s great to be able to go to a salon for a massage and a treatment.

If I were to go to the salon I’d have an oxygenation facial, eye-lash tint, pedicure and wax – all 4 at the same visit and preferably with the same beauty therapist.

Re whether you should open the salon….have you looked into the competition in the area and what products you would like to promote? It’s a shame there aren’t more mobile salons that come to your home. As a pregnant woman I’d really appreciate someone coming to my house and giving the treatments at home.

My beauty operator carries pierced ear rings and a few jewelry items that I LOVE, she will tell me of something she has that I should see, she knows me that well, also she carries a room for tanning and exercise equipment, I go about once a month and sometimes more, my husband goes to her also and all my kids and grandkids so we cannot get by with anything! lol You will do good

I would go! I love beauty salons. I would need to feel that the person/people trating me were qualified. They must also be smiley and chatty.
The prices have to be reasonable and the place has to be spotlessly clean.
I work at a hotel/leisure resort (5*) we have abeauty salon there that is beautiful and faultless.
http://www.aphroditestudio.com/
thats the web address for it. It has a huge client base and deals in many things.

I especially like nail treatments and facials. False nails are cool and so is having your own done properly. Maybe offer make-up services too, like for brides or something!

I’d say go for it!

YES. I know its your decision, but i strongly support it. Theres so much focus on image nowadays and beauty and fashion etc is where the money is nowadays. Plus if you enjoy it its an added bonus. But go for it – you’ll be raking it in!! gd luck
