These days beauty salons provide an array of
services beyond cutting, trimming, drying and styling. Before
you start your beauty biz, take a walk around the web and your
neighborhood to see what others offer in the way of beauty care.
Do they offer services that you never thought of? To learn more
about this type of research, check out the Know
Your Market section of this site.
How will you decide which services to offer in your salon? Make
a checklist of all the possible services. Then decide which
services you have the skills to provide. For services that you
don't have the skills for, consider whether you want to gain
those skills. We've provided a checklist of what you need to getstarted: licenses, equipment to purchase, training, and more.
Don't forget that no matter what biz you plan on starting, the start-up process is important. Make sure to go through the steps outlined on this site, from figuring out if the biz is right for you, to putting together a biz plan.
