Are you looking to invest more in your business? Believe it or not, sometimes, doing everything right in the comfort of your own home can actually be one of the best decisions you could ever make! It sounds a bit absurd, right? Well, the thing is, there’s actually a lot of truth to this!
Just think about it: if you’re working at a beauty salon, you have to buy your own product on a weekly basis, you have to “rent” a chair, you get a pay cut, you have to work the salons hours, and you basically get no control. You’re having to spend money in the hopes of earning money so is something like that even worth it? So that’s exactly why it just might be worth doing all of this in the comfort of your own home!
Cost Effective Setup
One of the biggest advantages of starting a beauty salon at home is the reduced startup cost. Some of these things were mentioned above, but traditional brick-and-mortar salons come with high overhead expenses such as rent, utilities, and furnishings. Plus, if you’re working for a salon, you still have to pay rent, sell their products, meet a quota, and so much more. It’s just way too stressful and not even worth it!
So, just by using a space in your home, you can significantly cut down on these costs. On top of that, this allows you to invest more in quality products and equipment, like lash tweezers and styling tools, and the beauty products that you believe in (and not what you’re forced to use and sell)m, all of which will enhance your services and attract more clients. Lower overhead means you can start small and gradually expand your offerings as your business grows.
Besides, there’s nothing unprofessional about having a salon in your own home; actually, a lot of people do this, and it’s for the same reasons: it’s cheaper, it’s less stressful and more controlled. Plus, you can decorate this space how you want! In general, it’s cost-effective, and you’re in control!
There’s More Comfort
There’s no commute, there’s no drama, and your workspace is just down the hall, so what’s there not to love, right? Besides, you can create a work environment that’s comfortable and suited to your needs, which means you can feel free to be more creative, which alone will lead to increased productivity and enjoyment.
Being at home also means you can easily manage household responsibilities between appointments, making your workday more efficient and less stressful. You just don’t get any of this if you’re having to work for a salon.
You Get to Choose Your Hours
For the most part, you don’t get to choose the hours at a salon; you work their hours, and you’ll get a day off work when they say you can take a day off work. It’s really unfortunate, but this is the reality! What if you had family commitments? What if you had other responsibilities? So that’s exactly why it’s great getting to run your own salon you get to make the rules, and you get the privilege of making your own schedule.
