opening a salon

saras55 · 08-06-2004, 12:12 AM

Hi! I am planning to open a salon in Texas. Does anyone have any advice?? I do not know where to start...what licenses are necessary, how much do I need to invest for a 4-5 bed salon? Your response is much needed!

I have a salon in Texas what do you want to know....

What kind of beds are you looking at? What spray?

owner2be · 08-06-2004, 04:43 PM

Looking at sundash or prosun. Know more about sundash tan prosun. Booth would be Magic tan and hvlp would be TBT

My question is what licenses are required to open a salon in Texas? Also, what is the cost of getting the licenses or certifications? Any other information is much needed!!

saras55 · 08-06-2004, 10:13 PM

Oh yeah, How many beds and what different level selections would you suggest? I don't want too many to start off with, but I don't want to turn people down!

saras55~read the thread "every newbie should read this..." a ton of info about what to look for when your starting. Could be a little updated, but overall a good place to start.

I'm not from Texas, but I'd imagine you'd need your local city business license around $50.00, State Salon license maybe $100.00 and I don't think you'd need certification but I'm not sure, as I said, about Texas.

In Texas you just need Tax certificate which is free I think (get at the local Comptrollers office) and a Texas Health certificate. The health certificate costs $200 a year. You can get an application online at the Texas Health Department web site. Fill it out with a check and mail it in. You'll get your cert in the mail in a few weeks. Nothing else is needed besides some beds and a whole lot of cash.
