Rep Power: 0 ZENBO is on a distinguished road
I am looking for a career change, I am a LAN administrator for a major financial company and I am fed up with the politics, though the money is good it's not me. I contacted a business consulting agency who reccomended a Planet Beach franchise. I have been looking over the UFOC and I like what I see.

What I would like to know from the salon owners is just how profitable is a salon, assuming you have a decent location. Do the majority of you own multiple locations or just 1? Does this industry allow you a comfortable lifestyle?

All feedback is welcome especially from the Long Island area of New York.

thx

Rep Power: 23 Tamar will become famous soon enough
Pretty certain the majority of us here are individually owned. Chunn probably has the most with 5 stores in Alabama.

I like not having to answer to corporate, if I wanted that I would have stayed in that world. As for profitability, you are only as good as your location, management, and budgeting skills. The area you are studying is far removed from mine, I couldn't touch the numbers. You have a much higher cost of living than we do.

Long Island? Beware, here comes Meltdbutta with a resume, lol. Good luck on your research.

Tamars right, funny as **** but right...Meltabutta will want a job!!
I think that the cost of living has alot to do with it and many other factors.
You will have to do your research on a particular area and get the demographics. Take those numbers and see if it is going to work for you.
