What to Consider When Setting up Your Own Salon


Making the decision to open your own salon is a big step, even if you’ve worked in the industry for years. You’ll take on the task of ordering products, hiring staff, maintaining the building, and more. But that added responsibility can be easy to manage as long as you set yourself up for success from the beginning. These are a few things you’ll need to consider before you open your doors and start welcoming clients into your new business.

Which Products You’ll Use
When you worked for someone else, you were probably limited to the products they used, ordered, and recommended. But when you own your own business, you’re in charge of picking the products. As a general rule, you’ll want to invest in quality shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, and styling products. 

J Beverly Hills has several lines that are tailored to different hair types and conditions so you can treat your customers to an experience designed for their needs rather than working with products that won’t help their hair.

Which Equipment You’ll Use
You’re also responsible for choosing the equipment and materials you’ll use in your salon. Everything from the chairs and wash stations to the hair driers you provide stylists are your responsibility to order. Remember, investing in quality equipment typically means it will last longer than the bargain-basement options you can find online. 

How You’ll Order Products
You have many choices when it comes to ordering the products you’ll use in your salon. And while you can order everything from different vendors, it’s easier if you work with a supplier that can get you everything you need without compromising on quality. At Professional Salon Concepts, we want to make ordering the products you use on a daily basis easy and affordable. Sign up for an account and take the stress out of ordering products. Our accounts are free to industry professionals and our team is here to help.

Which Products You’ll Offer Customers
One of the hallmarks of a high-quality salon is the ability to offer great products to their customers for use at home. Many customers want to use the same products you do when they’re in your chair. Think about the products you plan on using most and consider offering those for sale to your customers. At Professional Salon Concepts, we’re proud to offer high-quality skincare products from Freyja and fantastic haircare products from J Beverly Hills. Your customers will love the way they look and feel after visiting your salon, so let them bring that experience home with them.
