Where is the best place to open a beauty salon?

[subornaakter40]

Successful businessmen in the beauty services industry claim that 90% of success depends on the right choice of location in which to open a beauty salon. In order for the location to be successful, it is necessary:

pay attention to the passability (popularity) of the selected option;

choose a place where there are no similar high school coaches email list beauty salons with a similar range of services nearby;

ensure that the entrance to the salon is from the sidewalk or roadway (in no case from the courtyard);

take care of a large sign if you decide to open a beauty salon in a shopping center (the sign should be placed not only outside, but also inside the building, especially if the salon is not located on the first floor).

Renting space in a shopping center is an expensive pleasure.

Therefore, despite the temptation to open a beauty salon in such a crowded and busy place, still analyze:

shopping center traffic;

the average price of goods in boutiques and how it relates to the average bill of the future salon (for example, if your establishment has economy status, and there are boutiques with luxury goods nearby, then renting in this shopping center is not practical);

what kind of advertising might be needed and how else can you attract people to your establishment, since the customer flow of a shopping center is not the customers of a salon.

If you decide to open a beauty salon in a residential building, you will need written permission from all residents.

A mid-level establishment will fit perfectly into a residential area, but in the central part of the city it is better to open a beauty salon with a wider range of services and a higher average bill.

To open a profitable beauty salon, you need to take care of its location and pay attention to how dense the development is in a residential area, what is the traffic in local shopping centers, how many people work in the business part of the city (at least 1,000 people), how convenient the transport interchange is and whether there are any direct competitors.

How to open a beauty salon

Until 27.01.14, Appendix No. 1 to the sanitary requirements for the areas of premises SanPiN 2.1.2.2631-10 of May 18, 2010 No. 59 was in effect.

Premises Square
waiting room

not less than 6 m2

one hairdresser's workstation

from 4.5 to 8.0 m2 , but not less than 15 m2 for a hairdressing salon

laundry

from 9.0 m2

staff rest and dining area

from 6.0 m2

Now Appendix No. 1 has been excluded from SanPiN 2.1.2.2631-10 No. 59, but a number of requirements remain:

There must be a separate room or place for disinfection, pre-sterilization cleaning and sterilization of instruments, equipped with a sink with hot and cold water supply;

multi-specialty rooms (cosmetics, pedicure, massage, piercing, tattooing, solarium) should be located in different rooms;

it is possible to combine manicure and pedicure services in one office if one workstation for a manicure-pedicure specialist is organized;

hairdressing salons must have utility, auxiliary and utility rooms;

It is possible to combine the lobby with a cloakroom for visitors and a waiting room, as well as dining rooms with a cloakroom for staff if there are less than 10 workers per shift.

So, to open an economy class beauty salon, you will need a room with an area of ​​at least 50 m2 , and for premium establishments - at least 100 m2 .

Important! If you have found a place where you are ready to open a beauty salon, do not rush to sign a lease agreement right away! First, get a work permit, that is, coordinate everything with the local administration, SES and fire inspection. Otherwise, you will simply spend money on a place that will not suit you in the end.

Only after receiving the appropriate permission from the administration based on your application and the provided package of documents that confirms your right to use the premises, can you proceed to further actions.

You will have to contact authorities such as the SES and Rospozhnadzor several times. First, to obtain a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion on the design documentation, and then on other issues.

Another important piece of advice: don't agree to a short-term lease, because if the owner of the premises finds a worthy replacement for you, he or she may simply kick you out, and these are unplanned expenses that a young business may not be able to afford. In addition, a beauty salon should be in one place for at least three years to become a truly profitable and recognizable establishment.
