Have you ever wondered what it would take to branch out on your own to either start your own salon suite or booth rent, but didn’t know what it would take or if you are actually ready for this big step?
If you said yes to that question, you’re not alone! There is definitely a draw for a lot of stylists to be able to have the flexibility and control of branching out on your own. In this video, I break this question down to such an easy and straight forward way to ask yourself if you’re ready.
- Do you have enough clients?
- Do you know how much you can afford rent-wise?
- Have you considered the small things that it takes to keep up with a salon - like keeping up with your coffee and beverage supply for your clients?
I love that you are considering taking your business to the next level and I hope you found this video helpful! If so, let me know in the comments below!
Also, check out my other video that I think you might also find helpful: How I opened my own salon (including how much I spent) here • How I opened my Salon ...

Rule of thumb: If you make your rent the first 3 days you work of the month you will be successful.

So based on your questions, I'm not even remotely ready to be out on my own,. But I just got me a salon suite anyway 😂😂 I think I may be a special case because there was a situation at the salon I was at and now I'm on my own anyway. The suite is currently being built so I actually have some time to get myself together! This is good insight for me anyway because there's some expenses I hadn't thought of yet, so thank you for that!

Girl after 10 years in a salon that took 60 percent of everything i made. When the pandemic hit it made me realised how I was so afraid to be on my own.. That I screwed myself. I have had people none stop message me wondering when I was going to do hair again after everything opened back up... But I am finnally ready. I am going to finally after 12 years of doing hair. Finally going to try booth renting. And your video is helping me. Thank you so much.

If you move from a "mall salon" to a privately owned salon without a brand name, my experience is that you will NOT retain most of your clientele.

Also need to factor in loss of clientele if you move more than 10 miles or so. Advertising is also a big cost. One more thing, is to find out if you'll need to pay a deposit for your local electric or water companies. I had gotten a surprise hit of a $500 deposit for electric. Didn't see that coming. :(

After I graduated school in 2006 , I started out at a chain and after that another chain. I always wanted my own independence . I left there and tried out house calls. Very interesting when shampooing hair in a small sink. Anyway starting a booth rental tomorrow and two clients had to reschedule already . I am excited but not excited to fail. So far my calculations for the first day I would break even but with the cancellations I have to fill that spot . I am trying to think positive but also realistic. I passed on another chain salon position to finally pursue this dream. I’m happy no matter what happens . It will be like starting over new. Always room to learn . I Love your video , helped me so much. Thank you .

My salon is switching to exclusively booth renting after me doing commission for a year and before I worked here I was at a chain salon doing hourly/commission. I’ve been really nervous even with all the research and studying past checks and comparing, I know I’ll make more money and I know I’ll be able to afford what I need, just not immediately.. so I’ve been worried if I should switch to another color line to save money or switch shampoos and all different things. My mind has been all over the place in a mix of excitement and worry 😅

Thank you for the advices! But it's stressing me out a bit; my partner and I started about 1 year and a half ago, but we grew so quickly. We live in Europe and want to move to another European country to start our own salon. Are you saying that you can't start a salon from scratch with no clientele at all?
