Hairdressing salons

[LordHaveMurci]

Anybody out there run a hairdressing salon?

Thinking of setting one up or buying an existing business. Any pitfalls we should be aware of? What should we be looking for? Looking at middle of the range salon catering for men & women. Probably look to have an experienced full time manager & we'll oversee it. Is it best to have employed stylists or to rent the chairs?

No experience in this sector so any advice much appreciated.

Thanks, hadn't considered a Barbers.

Does your wife own her own salon or let somebody else have all the stress?

21yrs doing what I do, want to change & it's a dying business model. Fair question though

[LordHaveMurci]

Nope. Accountant strongly advised against it, still not a dead idea though, will probably return to it at some later point.

Thanks Matt, hope it all goes well for you.
