​So you want to start a Successful Hair Salon Business?  Will it be a large storefront business that requires a large lease agreement and commitment, or a small private salon suite that is less risky? 

​The first step in opening up a successful salon starts with you literally. You probably think this already, but first you have to give this some serious thought. Could your business survive if you had no hair stylists working for you as commission employees or booth or suite renters paying you weekly rent?  

Will you be able to pay your monthly rent and utilities yourself? If you said yes then your worse case scenario is answered if you had to do it on your own. All profits after that is a bonus and a good outlook on your success. If you said no then you should look into partnering up with someone that gives you the best chance for success. The larger the commitment and rent the bigger the risk you have. 

Always think and start small in this business and then grow as you go. With this mentality you increase your chances for success. Assuming you have enough clientele built up that you are confident enough you can pay your bills. If not you should build clientele up before you take the risk. 

I always preach that today you should have an online professional business presences. It is no secret. Most successful business have them. Invest in a search engine optimize Hair Salon Website and Listing because simply this is how people find your business. Professional done is the key. Many Hair Stylist have tried and failed to create a website that can be found by customers. 

Your salon website and listing investment done correctly pays for itself thousands times over throughout your entire Cosmetologist Career.  With little upkeep clients can find your hair salon business by you having a professional hair salon online website and listing. Hair Stylists that usually don't promote themselves well enough can find themselves out of a Cosmetologist Career seeking a new job or career. 

Once you establish a large clientele list that is steady growing each day by your professional online salon website and presences.  You will have more options and business security that will allow you to either rent that private salon suite working alone, or maybe lease a larger storefront that will allow you to hire Commission Hair Stylists working for you generating you a higher Cosmetologist Salary most likely as a Hair Salon Owner that is making a salary six figure or more salary driven by a Professional Online Salon Business Presences. 

Well I won't spend no time explaining how to have an average Cosmetology Career, just do the opposite. My definition of having a successful Cosmetology Career is this. 

Independence or Self Employed Cosmetologist Career. This simply means you work for yourself. When you work for yourself you get to control of everything. This means you control your own schedule and charge your own prices. You only work when you have work and no sitting in a hair salon making and average of 50 percent commission waiting on clients and not getting paid if there is none while waiting.

When you work for yourself as a Cosmetologist you get full payment of 100 percent. Yes you will have expenses like your Salon Suite, Lofts, Sola, Studio, Plaza or Booth weekly rent that you should be able to make in one working day out the week anywhere from around $200 to $400 weekly salon suite rental fees.

Hair Stylist that I know can do a Full Sewn Hair Weave or Extensions Service that may takes them only two hours or little more can get paid between $200 to $500. So if you are one of those type of Hair Stylists that can do that type of service, then your rent can be paid for the entire week in just two working hours.  

Higher Cosmetology Salary is in your control Just Invest More. Today's Cosmetologist do not have to work years in a Commission Hair Salon to build clientele. Having a professional online Internet presence never  been so easy. You can have a very successful Cosmetologist career without having a high traffic Hair Salon Storefront with high rent and long Lease Agreements like the olden days. 

You just have to rent a Salon Suite, Loft, or Sola, salon suite and invest in a Professional Website that will send you clients though out your entire Cosmetology Career for free with little website upkeep. Today your website acts as your high traffic storefront without the high cost rent and long term lease agreement. You will only have to pay small website monthly hosting fees usually between $8 to $25 a month after the cost of your website being purchase which can cost over a $1000 but if done right well worth it.

Having a Hair Salon Website can also give you the option to pay for Salon Online Ads. This service can be used while you are waiting for the search engines to index your Hair Salon Website so customers can find it. Using this method along with your website you can invest as much as you want and see good results on building your clientele list.

It can get to the point where you can make as much money as the hours you can work. If need you can hire and become a boss, but that will add on the stress as becoming an employer but it will be a good problem to have if the Cosmetologist wants a higher salary by opening up a larger Hair Salon and becoming an employer. 

Having a successful high paying Cosmetologist Career is really easy to do now days. Just be good at what you do. Provide good customer service be professional. Control your own hours, and money but just don't forget to invest in your business like having a Hair Salon Website that can work for you though out your Cosmetologist Career that will pay for itself many times over. Remember no one needs a Hair Salon storefront anymore. A good Hair Salon Website is all you need to have  to have a successful high  salary Cosmetology Career. 


​

There is nothing more important to a hair stylist than their Cosmetology School Education. It will be the Cosmetologist biggest investment and without it you can't have a Cosmetologist career. Once your Cosmetology License is obtained, you can now begin your Cosmetology career. 

Most new Licensed Cosmetologist will start their career working in a commission hair salon to try to slowly build their clientele up with confidence for some as well. Take home commission for a new Hair Stylist can be 40 percent or lower giving the salon owner their 60 percent more. After awhile most Hair Stylist get fed up with low commissions and become self employed and go rent salon suites, and lofts. 

Well after your Cosmetology School there is no other better investment you will find better than I well working Search Engine Optimize Salon Website.  A well optimize hair salon website can pay for itself within the first several months and will start building your clientele up for free with on going salon advertisement with maybe small salon website hosting fees per month. Remember without sufficient clients a business can not be successful.  

Online is now king. We now go online to seek most of our information and if your hair salon business isn't online you are falling behind, and it can make a difference if you wait long enough to let other Hair Stylists in your town create a salon website before you, taking customers that were seeking a hair salon. 

To get ahead you need an Optimize Salon Website. There are a lot of do it yourself websites out there that previous Hair Stylist attempted to create and failed to succeed because it doesn't show up in searches when a customer searches for related local salon website content.

Why because there are many behind the seen data input needs that can increase your Hair Salon search engine website rankings. Some business thrive off this knowledge and can run a successful business without the need of a high traffic location.  This same business model fits Salon Suites, Lofts, Sola, Studios, Plaza, Boutique Booth Renters owners perfectly. You can have a very successful Hair Salon business without the need to be committed to a long term high paying lease contract for owning a storefront hair salon.
