Rep Power: 27 | My salon is maxed out but I do have enough room for 4 or 5 chairs and a magazine rack. Also I have 3 JA towers and 1 CalTan Wall display in the open area. All the other products are behind the counter on a mirrored shelf. Keep an eye on your lotions that are out front, but it does help sell if they can feel and touch the bottles. In four years I have not had a big problem with theft on them, Yes a few bottles have disappeared but not to the extent that I would lock them up. 2-3 bottles a year isn't bad in my opinion. Acutally I prob. haven't lost that many on the average. |

Rep Power: 23 | We have a big waiting area. Sometimes I think we have a bit too much wasted space but some times you just can't change your layout. We have about 10 waiting chairs, 2 tables, drink machine and most times in the busy season the chairs are full. I think a fairly big waiting area is important, people don't like to be all crowded up. All lotion is behind counter though I would love to have it out for people to explore more. Too much theft though, we lost a lot of bottles when we had them all out. Now people ask to come behind the counter and this works pretty well. Stacey |

Rep Power: 0 | We are building 13 rooms but starting with 10 beds..(Sundash)To start the season we will not require an appointment!! The plan is to add the other 3 beds by mid-april. We may require appointments only on our Super Bed(Classic 600)depending on the traffic. Thanks Scott[ This Message was edited by: Brillo on 2002-01-03 07:22 ] |

Rep Power: 23 | Scott...I don't mean for this to sound like a stupid question, but when you say "waiting area" -- is that all you mean? Or do you mean this 11'4"x9' will be waiting/retail/counter & everything?? If you mean everything .. I don't think you will have any retail space at all - I am still new to the industry, I only have 6 beds & my space is 18'5" x 10'...yes, it's a little bigger than I need, but at least I have retail space & also I have seating for 6. I have several lotion displays/counter/refrigerator & seating & when the season starts, I will have room for seasonal items. I am anxious to see what everything else thinks & if they think you will have enough, I might add another tanning room in mine & get rid of some of that space!!!! |
