Hey everyone. I am looking to go from an Employee status to Renting a "Suite" in one of those new individual Salon room type places. I am looking for help from anyone who can help. I would like to know about how much an average start up might cost. The place I am looking at already is set up for hair in each room. They would take out the hair washing sink and replace with a regular sink and there are a lot of cupboards. Otherwise I need to provide everything else. I have a standard nail table (think Sally's cheaply) that I could use for a while so I can get other things first, and I am thinking about the Red Dragon Steam Pedicure set up. They cover Utilities and they will pay for plumbing (if I were to get a regular Pedi chair) and also insurance for a year. They also cover the first $400 for a retail purchase (and expect nothing in commission or payback). The rent per week is high ($250 a week), and I am going to try and talk them down. If I can get it talked down, I really want to do this. Also, I will be about 25 minutes from my current location, so I don't expect a lot of clientele to follow. A few maybe, but I really would be re building. I guess I am trying to figure out if this is a good move. I make a good amount of money. I will take a hit for a while, but it isn't why I want to get out of a employee situation. I just want to get out of a drama filled location and I am sick of trying to do everything the right/sanitary way when no one else does. I clean a Pedi tub, but when I do my next Pedi I have to clean it again because someone else used it in between. I just want to be responsible for myself and not have to worry if I am walking into work to do nails, or to clean up after everyone else. (Sorry, I am venting and that isn't what I set out to do) Back on track, I know a lot of people say they would never go back to employee situations. Once people start Renting they "can't believe they didn't do is sooner." And I want to get to that point, but I want to know what I need to get started. Would you get a Small Business loan for start-up? And opinions on what should be a weekly rent would be helpful, but I know that can very from city/state/area. Any help anyone can give is appreciated! Thanks!
