# of beds to start ?

bigking · 05-05-2004, 03:38 PM

hello all I'm looking at starting with 3 beds in my beauty salon and can expand to 5 or 6 later my ? is what size beds should I start the first 3 with and how many of each, I'm next to a gym who's expanding their customer base through new ownership so I expect to get a good flow from them and this location was a tanning salon before (the gym is next door) and could someone who has experience with a gym by their location tell me if it helps your year around buisness.

thank you all

I'm not a big fan of hair salons with tanning units, unless you dedicate some staff to monitor the usage and clean them for your clients. As far as being next to a gym, if your tanning gets popular, those %astards next door will only install their own units and cut your throat. Good luck!

no the owner is a friend of mine and besides she does'nt have room or desire for beds, as far as hair we do nails mostly and have a great vent system that keeps the smell down we only have 1 hair station.
