Owning a Local Salon: Challenges and Tips

Most of the time we all go to the hair salon at least once in our lives. For some people, it's unavoidable because of their hair type. It can take years to find local hair salons that work well with your hair type. But what if you want to fill that niche?

Well, some challenges are going to be along the way! What about other local hair salons in your area? Are they going to be your competition or are they going to help support your business? These are some tough questions.

Plus, if it is your goal to become a local hair salon, you have to look at how you are going to determine success. One of the ways to determine success is if you own the business or if you own a chair in a business.

Another way to look at success is like how they describe in the video; three main sources of income that come from your work, your business, and your work as a shareholder.

One of the biggest tips that can help you out is to make sure you know your competition. Don't go to an area that already has a salon there! That won't help you at all. Another great tip that can help you out in the long run is to find a mentor. That should probably be one of your first steps.
