Salon Business & Chair Rental

Most stylists who go independent do it on instinct and find out eighteen months later that their column is full and they are still not making money. This course is the arithmetic nobody teaches behind the chair.

Across six evening sessions you will build your own numbers: real hourly cost, product cost per service, a price list that holds up, and a plan for the quiet months. You leave with a working spreadsheet for your business, not a generic template.

• Working out your true hourly cost, including the unpaid hours
• Product cost per service and where margin actually leaks
• Building a price list, and how to raise prices without losing clients
• Chair rental versus employment: the real trade-offs
• Rebooking, retention and filling quiet weeks
• Tax, insurance and setting money aside properly

• Stylists considering going self-employed
• Freelancers who are busy but not profitable
• New salon owners setting a price list
• Anyone who has never worked out their hourly cost

• Working as a stylist or therapist already, employed or self-employed
• A laptop and a spreadsheet application
• Willingness to share your own numbers in a small group
• No accounting background needed
