Well-- to answer your question --yes and no alot of factors are part of eth equation here..
One think you are not taking into account is the market shifts..Every industry booms. The trick is getting in the industry on the first few up swings is important for a long run in any industry.
You mentioned you see existing salon that have been around for along time.
I can almost bet that the original owner of the salon your talking about got out in the late 90's...in most cases there are still a few old timers around. And they are comfortable they have their intial investment back alllllong time ago and can afford to have multiple locations and managers etc..
So having said that --I still think it is possible to jump in the water now if you truly do all the homework necessary, have the capital to set up shop & ride out the first few rough years. As well as business experience, marketing skills, managerial experience, and so on.
Jumping in blindly is not adviced in any industry expecially not this one it is very unforgiving. If some of us come off as harsh.. it is meant as a warning to all who think this industry is a easy job. You just tan people..right?? Buy a few beds and rent a space... how much could expenses really be?? :duhface:
We get that all the time so If you were scared off. GOOD you got the message.
but now you came back....
So you must really want it ....now educate yourself and you will be fine !
