Today, people are finding ways to go out on their own in all types of industries, breaking out of their office and being their own boss. If you\u2019re a hairstylist, doing this for yourself could be easier than you realize. In fact, you may be able to set up your salon in the comfort of your own home. Here\u2019s how to get your home salon off the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-2-smaller-font-size\" id=\"h-tips-for-starting-a-home-salon\">Tips for Starting a Home Salon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your expertise and skill may be the top asset you need for your salon, but it\u2019s far from the only one. Here\u2019s how to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-1-investigate-the-legal-side-of-things\">1. Investigate the Legal Side of Things<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start raiding the beauty supply store and distributing flyers, you need to make sure you can start your business without legal problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you permitted to run a business in your home? Do you have a home owner\u2019s association that places restrictions on home businesses? Are there zoning issues or permit issues you need to consider?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every area is unique. It\u2019s important to consult with a local attorney about how to keep your salon above-board. It may be smart to operate as an independent contractor providing services rather than running as an actual business until you\u2019re ready to expand with more stylists.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-2-create-a-designated-space\">2. Create a Designated Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you truly want to build a client base and a successful salon, you can\u2019t just pull a salon chair into your living room and call it a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set up a designated salon space in your home. Perhaps you have a den or a guest bedroom that you can repurpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows you to give your clients more of that \u201csalon feel.\u201d You\u2019ll have a place for all of your equipment so it stays organized and available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an added bonus, you can decorate the salon in any way you want as a way to start developing your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/homesalon1-1024x539.jpg\" alt=\"small home salon ideas\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-3-go-for-the-real-deal\">3. Go for the Real Deal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone says that the first rule of running a small business is to keep your overhead low. That\u2019s true, but there are limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t plop down your clients in a chair from your dining room table. You\u2019re trying to create a comfortable salon experience, and for that, you need a real salon chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same goes for your wet station. You don\u2019t have to buy the most <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbusiness.chron.com\/much-cost-startup-hair-salon-business-12478.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">expensive salon equipment<\/a> on the market, but you can\u2019t use a standard bathroom sink either.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-4-become-a-stickler-for-records\">4. Become a Stickler for Records<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It may not be the most exciting thing in the world but record-keeping can make or break a business, for multiple reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, it helps you keep your taxes low. Save records for everything you purchase for the salon, from equipment to tissues. All of this can reduce your tax burden and give you a better profit margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other reason to keep records is that it creates a better experience for your clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you do a customized color on a client\u2019s hair. They love it, and a few months later they come back in for a touch-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you know what dyes you used so you can match them for the touch-up? You don\u2019t unless you\u2019ve kept records of each client\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Untitled-8_2023-09-18-17-11-57-1024x539.jpg\" alt=\"home salon\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-5-have-realistic-prices\">5. Have Realistic Prices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When a client pays for services at a salon, they aren\u2019t just paying for the results. They\u2019re paying for the entire experience, from the environment to the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to be realistic in your prices that you\u2019re giving clients a different experience than they\u2019d get in a high-end salon. Even if you\u2019re a stylist with extensive experience, you need to consider the whole kit and caboodle in your pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many salons charge low prices in their earlier days and work their way up as they build a reputation. Remember that your prices are temporary. You\u2019re trying to build loyalty first, and then you can elevate your profits.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/salon-software-prices\/?utm_source=daysmart&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_term=image-link5&amp;utm_content=blog-cta-pricing-salon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"847\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/SALON-CTA-2024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2798\" style=\"width:617px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/SALON-CTA-2024.png 847w, https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/SALON-CTA-2024-300x76.png 300w, https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/SALON-CTA-2024-768x194.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 847px) 100vw, 847px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-6-don-t-underestimate-your-software\">6. Don\u2019t Underestimate Your Software<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We mentioned how important it is to spring for a real salon chair and wet station, but your equipment doesn\u2019t end there. Your salon software is another vital element in your salon\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">salon software<\/a> makes it easy to book appointments and see your schedule. It can also help you follow up with clients, keep those all-important records, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of software, even in your earliest days, it\u2019s essential to have a way to process credit cards. Few people use cash or checks on a daily basis, so you don\u2019t want to add an inconvenience to your clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a safety issue as well. If you\u2019re taking in significant amounts of cash, it could get down the grapevine to someone who\u2019s looking for fast cash to steal. This puts your home and your family at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Features-Overview-Appointment-Book-1024x691.png\" alt=\"appointment book\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-7-avoid-scaling-your-home-salon-too-fast\">7. Avoid Scaling Your Home Salon Too Fast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re like most entrepreneurs, you have big dreams for your budding business. If you try to rush the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/mikekappel\/2017\/09\/06\/5-ways-to-tell-if-you-are-ready-to-grow-your-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">growth process<\/a>, though, it could all come crashing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t add new stylists the moment you start to get busy. It\u2019s okay to have a bit of a waiting list because it tells clients that you\u2019re worth the wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, if you get to a point at which you\u2019re turning down new clients, expanding is likely to be worth your investment. When you do add a new stylist, make sure it\u2019s someone who has the personality and the drive to bring in business too.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-2-smaller-font-size\" id=\"h-the-first-days-of-a-booming-home-salon-business\">The First Days of a Booming Home Salon Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every great business has to start somewhere.
