Rep Power: 0 | We're still in the process of figuring out how much we need for start up. We really don't want to spend more than 50k on beds, but that leaves us with 52k for start up costs. Is this a realistic number or are we fooling ourselves? We want the salon to have a nice clean classy feel and I LOVE to decorate(I might add Im a terrific bargain shopper!! ) |

Rep Power: 23 | Perhaps on the West Coast... I'm estimating my start up costs to be higher than that. But that's one of the reasons I'm leasing beds instead of initially buying them. It takes a lot of leg work to consider everything... from insurance to building costs to beds to inventory to decorating and construction. And don't forget about marketing and opening day too!!Good luck,Laurie |

Rep Power: 23 | There are many variables that have to be factored in to get your srartup costs. How many beds will you have and will any be high presure? How many rooms will you have and will you use a contractor or moduler walls?One of the biggest costs I've found in doing a startup is electrical and a/c so make sure you get good estimates on that. Depending on your area and without knowing any specifics I'd say 100-150 thousand for a 10 bed salon is realistic but again thier are many variables. |
