I would be more concerned as to why the previous salon failed. It may be the business is not there to support it...could it be lack of business savvy of previous owners, lack of property management support from property owner (no parking, no lighting, signage etc),
..no utilities to support (not enough AC/electrical and costly to add)...host of reasons...also, in this day of anti-tanning from a media, govt, and public perspective, I believe a 16 bed salon is overkill. You could decrease that by 50% and be more successful. The industry/business is no longer viable to support 'BIG' salons
