Hey there, fabulous beautypreneurs 🌟
So, you’re on the hunt for the perfect salon space, right? Exciting times! But before you sign on that dotted line, let’s make sure you’re asking the right questions during your salon tour. After all, we don’t want any nasty surprises down the road, do we? Nope, didn’t think so.
1) “Can I customize my space?”
Having your own space means the chance to let your creativity shine! Ask if you can personalize your salon suite/booth and if there are any restrictions for decorating. You’ll want to know ahead of time if you’re able to customize the space to reflect your individual style.
2) “What makes this salon unique or stand out from others?”
Every salon has its vibe, right? Find out what makes this one special. Maybe they offer free social media training to boost your business, have an in-house coffee bar to offer clients, or a killer location with awesome foot traffic. Unique perks can seriously sweeten the deal when choosing where to set up shop.
3) “What equipment and tools are provided and what should I bring myself?”
Are they hooking you up with a styling chair, in-suite sink, or back bar supplies, etc.? Get the lowdown on what’s included in the package so you can plan and budget for any extra gear you might need.
4) “What are the lease terms and rental rates for the available spaces?”
Let’s talk money, honey! Get the nitty-gritty on lease terms, duration, payment plans, and any sneaky fees that might be lurking in the shadows. This is your livelihood, so make sure you understand every cent you’re investing.
5) “Will I have 24/7 access?”
Some folks are early birds, and some are night owls. Know if you can access your salon space whenever you need to. Flexibility is key for some pros, so make sure the hours align with your needs.
6) “What amenities/utilities are included with rent?”
Is water, electricity, and Wi-Fi included in your rent? Make sure you know what you’re responsible for to avoid any surprising bills!
7) “Is there a security deposit and how much is it?”
Find out if a security deposit is required, how much it’ll cost you upfront, and the details for getting your security deposit back at the end of your lease agreement.
While on your journey to finding the salon space of your dreams, don’t be shy about asking these questions and any others that come to mind! It’s your opportunity to ensure that you’re entering into a partnership that aligns with your needs and aspirations.
Happy hunting!💄✨
