For those of you purchasing an existin salon..........

Do your research. See what the beds are worth. Usually 1/2 to 1/3 of the original cost. Other equipment is the same. YOu told us about cost, but what is the income? If the cost is $182K, the income should be about $270?????

Your rent is $5K per month??? The cost of lamps and workers comp is too low. Why cell phones? The talk to each other from the rooms?

The cost for bulbs and lotions seem to be low for that size salon. Also, if the salon is busy, the lamps should be replaced at least twice a year. Definately look into the numbers a little more...

If the lotions costs are low, that could be good if it means they haven't sold them properly. It gives you plenty of room to increase that part of it. I agree with sunsally, about 30% of my monthly income is on lotions.

That's about right for a bankruptcy proceeding. Good luck.

Look, rule of thumb, totally serious now, you're way better off "starting" your own place than you are b uying someone else's failure. I don't care what thir excuse is for wanting to sell. If they were making money, they wouldn't be selling. Period.

I hope he doesn't either!LOL How many beds do you have? I have only four. But yes I am sure it won't last for much longer then I will get a wakeup call. LOL I have been renting from him for almost 3 years now and he hasn't yet. I do have a 6 year lease so when that expires I am sure he'll raise the rent.But until then I know I am so fortunate and I am putting away some money for future expansions. God Bless my landlord.LOL

Rent seems a little crazy where are you located? I am soo lucky I have 4 beds and a private area for services (skincare) and I pay ONLY $385 per month with all utilities included yeah believe it or not aircondition, electricity, heat, snowremoval, insurance on building is even included. What a steal!! I am dreading expanding because that means I have to move and my rent will be a total reality check!God Bless my landlord he even does the maintenance like if a bulb goes out!

DOES YOUR LANDLORD OWN ANY BUILDINGS IN CT???? IF SO, I'LL RENT WHATEVER IS OPEN!!!
