Rep Power: 0 | first salon location?? hi everyone could anyone give me some advice on best location plz? its my first tanning salon and im very excited :-D iv been offered 2 vacant premises. 1st one is in a shopping centre arcade with only one hair salon outside the arcade offering one sunbed to customers in the back room, and no other salons for at least a mile each way. the 2nd one is out of town in a popular area with 2 other salons one doing well the other not so well due to the staff and cleanliness, the premises were previously used as a tanning salon but the owner moved away (family commitments) but told me was doing very well regarding profits aprox £500pw low season at least and turnover good even tho other salons were close by. any opinions? id be very gratefull thanks |

Just be sure it has enough elctrical and air conditioning. I would also check the dimensions of the rooms and the electrical pull to make sure they will accomadate your equipment. Just my opinion, my salon isn't even completed yet. :) |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: first salon location?? I think the second location would be great. Save the time and money in putting into a brand new spot. However, just make sure there is an anchor location to give you referrals and business. Sometimes people say they are leaving a salon because of other "commitments" and it's usually because the salon wasn't making money. Just a thought. |
