Re: Startin new salon...Need a little advice

I was just re-visiting this thread today and comparing advice given from different sources. I have to say we are pretty consistent -- regardless of where the info is posted. I wonder if people (besides getliquid) really 'Hear" what we are trying to say? I'm thinkin' Not.

Wink Re: Startin new salon...Need a little advice

mojo i have spent the last 6 months looking into opening a tanning salon, i have talked to several different people who owned tanning salons, or who have owned tanning salons, some here on this board and others i know on the street, and i have been around the block, and i have just come to the conclusion that if i were to open a tanning salon i would be tieing up a few hundred grand, plus digging in my pockets for more to keep the doors open, would it eventually pay off? yea probably, but like others here have said, and others i have talked have said, it's a long grueling process. To layout 200k to 400k for $10 tans and to look for $40-$50 players per month doesn't make any sense to me, these are things you do not think about at first, the first thing you want to do is layout the money and open your doors. And even in a perfect world if people came when you opened, the 2-3 years of working for free doesn't sound like alot of fun to me, nor does it make financial sense. I guess if i had more money than brains and had all the time in the world i would give it a "whirl" lol but to ignore the people who have "been there and done that" wouldn't be to wise either. So thanks to the homework i have done and the people i have talked to, theres better ways to put your money to work. Thanks for all your help (-:
