4 signs you're ready for a salon suite.

We know it can be a little scary. The thought of going out on your own - a bit thrilling - all while being a tad nerve racking. Here is how to know if you're ready for a salon suite.

Vision

You have an overall vision for your business.  You know what style of atmosphere your guests want to be in.  Usually it is the same atmosphere you would want to be in.  You typically attract guests that are similar to yourself. You don't have to know every single detail of how you will decorate your space but recognize that you do know the atmosphere you want to create. Do your guests love something energizing and trendy? Do they love serene and peaceful? Do they want soft and feminine?

You are their go to person

You are already your guest’s go to person.  When they need to book, reschedule in the salon, ask a question about an inspiration pic... You are the one they want to talk to. You are obviously their person. Your people are committed to you.

You are organized

You know how to manage and prioritize things that are important. Even if you are transitioning from one business model to the another, say commission salon to booth rent or salon suite, you know there have to be systems in place and you want your work flow to feel organized and efficient. You either already know exactly how that will happen or we can help make suggestions.

Freedom

You are ready to have the freedom to create.  Your schedule, your service menu, your timing, your pricing, your guest experience, your vacation days. Maybe the situation you are in is working in many ways but you are ready to take the next step in fully customizing your work life to best serve you & your clientele.

You got this.
