Investing in forex and crypto is a great way to diversify your income and take advantage of the potential to make a substantial return on your investment.
Cryptocurrency is a cutting-edge technology that is revolutionizing the financial system, and investing now could be a great way to realize substantial returns in the near future.
Crypto investing offers the chance to make exponential returns with potentially low risks.
I'm interested in investing in the digital assets market, but I don't have any knowledge about it.
I understand that investing can be intimidating, but with help of Mrs JENNIFER MARIE FERGUSON I have seen great returns on my investments due to her guidance and advice, and I highly recommend her as an investment advisor."
Mrs Jennifer Marie Ferguson is also extremely reliable and trustworthy with her advice and services; her passion for the market is evident in every trade she makes and her commitment to deliver results is unquestionable. She values her clients' confidentiality and never pursues trades that go against the best interests of her clients.
Finally someone giving REAL DETAILS!
Thank you so much!!
I just found your channel like 10 min ago and was binge watching your videos.. and I was really wondering how you opened up your salon because it’s literally what I have dreams of doing! And this video popped up! Perfect timing!! so weird!! 😍
Oh my gosh, seriously perfect timing! So glad you found it! Thanks for watching!
Erin Bedolla | Not weird Erin, law of attraction, what you dream of eventually comes to you in many forms or with information. I bet you’ll reach your goal, good luck!
The Who dislike the video is the contractor she fired 😅😅😅
Did you have to get a business loan or did you save up for this change
I am opening a 500sq for space and u have given me so much inspiration. Thank you
That makes me so happy to hear. Congratulations!
Can you post a tour of your salon?
$ 20k that's cheap. About the price of a new economy type car. No impact fees?
i appreciate these types of videos so much!!
Oh good to know, so glad you're liking them! Thanks for watching!
Wow, you are amazing and so helpful. I have 4 weeks left of cosmetology school and I have never felt so inspired before finding you! 🌷♥️
Thanks so much Hannah! I'm so happy to hear this was helpful!
Almost in tears, not a lot of people are this detailed! I’ve been looking for videos like this! As I am moving into new directions as a nail tech but wow thanks so much!
Thank you so much for being so transparent. Congrats on being a salon owner. MASTER COSMETOLOGISTS ROCK!!!!
Thank you for the information. I'm a hairdresser for 10 years in Turkey and i have a 230ft² salon. I haven't a rent. Property belongs to my family. I opened in January 2018. Its so new :) . And I spent to 20.000 TL. It was around $ 5000 at the time. Our country is experiencing economic problems after 2002... the consequences of economic problems are getting harder. In 2002 one dollar was 1.25 tl and now 6.00 tl. Everything we use like hair dye, shampoo, foils, etc is imported. learning about the status of my colleagues in other countries is very important to make comparisons on behalf of my country. Thank you again and wish you success :)
Thanks so much for watching!
Melody pleiades where exactly in Turkey are you located? I'm living in Izmir and would love to visit your salon 🙂
Melodi merhaba! Eğitimin olarak mı bu işe başladın? Yoksa tamamen farklı bir sektörden mi girdin? Türklerden bu konuda bilgi videosu çeken kimse olmadığından merak ettim.
@@merve650 ben kız meslek lisesi kuaförlük mezunuyum. Lise boyunca kuaförde çırak ve kalfa olarak çalıştım. 2010 da mezun olup ünv. Sınavına girdim. İstediğim gazi ünv saç bakımı ve güzellik hiz. öğretmenliği bölümünü okumaktı ama o seneden sonra öğrenci almadılar. 2 yıllık okumak istemedim çünkü öğretmen olmayacaktım 4 yıllığını okumadan... 2 yıllık mezunu sözleşmeli öğretmenlerimiz vardı ama düşük maaş alıyorlar 4 yıllık okumadan olmuyor. İşyeri açmayı başta istemedim birde bölüm kapatılınca soğudum. İşletme okudum yaşlı bakımı okudum açıköğretimenden. Sonra salon açmaya karar verdim. 2.5 yıl salonumu işlettim. Git gide çevrem oldu ama kalfa olmaya benzemiyor salon sahibi olmak. Çok stresli heleki böyle Bi dönemde. 8 ay önce annem kanser teşhisi konuldu. İşyeri mi kapatmak durumunda kaldım. Aile ile ilgili sıkıntımız oldu. Annemle ilgileniyorum şimdilik. Böyle Bi macera oldu. Yapılmayacak iş değil ama tek başına çok zor. Birde tecrübe lazım ben 3 4 sene kuaför yanında çalışmıştım ama yaşım ufaktı. Eğitimini de almış olsan meselelere yetişkin gözüyle hakim olmadıktan sonra o çalıştığım senelerin pek Bi faydası olduğunu düşünmüyorum. Ben birlikte eğitim aldığım insanlardan örnek vereyim sana. Biz sınıfta 20 kişiydik. Hepimiz mezun olduk ustalık belgesi aldık ama içimizden sadece ben dahil 3 kişi salon açtı ve sektöre girdi. Diğer arkadaşların hepsi ya ev hanımı oldu yada bambaşka işler yapıyorlar. Sektörde çoğunluğu sonradan bu işe girenler oluşturuyor. Okadar çok ki... İşyeri açmak için ustalık belgemi kiralamak isteyen okadar kişi odu ki. Zaten sıkıntı burda sektörde ciddi anlamda kaliteli Bi eğitim almış insan yok. Ben lisede aldım o bile çok yararsızdı. Doğru düzgün çevrilmiş hiç Bi kaynak yok... Bi ara halk eğitime başvurdum usta öğretici olarak. Bir sürü içerik hazırladım slaytlar videolar ayarladım yabancı eğitim videoları buldum. Çizim yaptım... Bizim mesleki çizim dersimiz vardı. Yetkin biri bunları yapabilmeli ha benim babam da teknoloji tasarım öğretmeni ondan imkanım çoktu bilgisayarda slayt olsun bilmem ne yapabildim ama sonuçta okul bunun için var ve çocuklara bu yetkinlik kazandırılmalı. Ama kimse benim yetkinliğime bakıyor mu yok.... Kendi açmak istediğim kursa gittim kayıt yaptırdım. Benden fazla ne yapabiliyor diye benim yerime aldıkları hoca. Hiç birşey... Haftada bir kısır partisi bilmem ne... Ülke böyle oldukça hiç bir sektörde başarıyı elde edemezsin ki... Annem kanser hastası ışın tedavisi alıyor. Bekleme salonunda bekliyoruz hemşirenin biri diğerine ben hemşire olduğum için tanıdık yaptı annemin ameliyatını. Çok uğraştılar başkası olsa hiç uğraşmazlardı diye kanser hastalarının ortasında anlatabiliyor.... Sonra neden sağlık çalışanlarına şiddet yapılıyor hak istiyoruz diye konuşuyorlar.... Ben de soruyorum böyle zihniyete sahip birisi nasıl hemşire olabiliyor????? Bu ülkede olmaması gereken insanlar çok fazla şeye sahip çok.
Melodi's Dolls geçmiş olsun öncelikle. Umarım sağlığına kavuşur annen. Bilgilendirmen için de çok teşekkür ederim. Okul konusunda bilgim kesinlikle yok ama bir yerde eğitim konusunda büyük bir sıkıntı olduğuna eminim. Ben 1-2 sene öncesine kadar hayatı boyunca sadece mahalle arası dediğimiz kuaförlere gitmiş bir olarak gözlemlerimi söyleyeyim ve neden bunu sorduğumu... benim gittiğim tüm kuaförlerdekiler işini kendi açıp bu işin okulunu açmış kişilerdi. Ben bu kişilerin başka kuaförde başlayıp, kalfalık ve portföyünü tamamlayıp kendi dükkanlarını açmasını da izledim. Ha şöyle bir şey var, onların hizmet verdiği çoğunluğu annemiz olan kesim çok da şikayetçi olmazdı, önüne ne verilirse kabul ederdi... lakin hepsi aşırı geri kalmış, çağ dışı modaları uygulamaya çalışıyorlardı. 2011 yılında gittiğim bir kuaförde ebru gündeş yay kaşını bana yapmayı uygun gören, birkaç sene öncesine kadar hala aslan yelesi saç kesmeye çalışan, hala inatla seyrek ve yağlı saçı katlı kesimin daha çok gösterdiğine inanan kuaförler var. Kuaför iç mekan tasarımları zaten hala fecaat. Lüks değilse bir kuaförün iç tasarımının güzel olma ihtimali koca bir sıfır. Oysa bu diğer ülkelerde bir norm haline gelmiş. Avmdeki sözde mid-end kuaförler leğenle pedikür suyunu önünüze getirmeyi normal gibi algılıyor. Kendini geliştirmek sıfır. Zaten internette kuaför nasıl açılır diye şöyle bir araştırınca hep aynı yorum, masrafı az, ben 20.000sermayeyle açtım. Evet belli odayı boyamış mutfak dolabının altındaki leğenle ikinci fön makineni kapmış gelmişsin diye düşünüyor insan. Neyseki sosyal medya sayesinde yeni nesil bir tık yabancılara hakim ama onlar da henüz kendi işinin başına geçecek yaşlarda olmadığından ve sektörü şuanlık hala orta yaşlı, büyük oranda kendini geliştirmeye kapalı o kesim domine ettiğinden adım attığınızda kaliteli bir kuaföre girme ihtimali girmeme ihtimalinden daha düşük. Yani diyeceğim şu, ben hep tam tersi örneklerle karşılaştım. Bu işte alaylı olmuş-okulunu okumuşlar hep mekanını açanlardı ve hepsi çok demodeydi. Fiyata değinmişsin önceki yazında, belki ondan ama hala mahalle kuaförlerinde leş fondotenler, pislikten turunculaşmış fırçalar duruyor. Temizlik de mi parayla diye düşünüyorum... Şuan gittiğim kuaförüm de bir avm kuaförü, çalışanları genel olarak epey iyi ona sözüm yok açıkçası, ancak iç tasarım berbat, fiyatlar yüksek(avm olduğu için laf edemiyorum). Böyle yerleri görünce insan girdiği yerde huzur buluyordur diyorum. Kesinlikle türkiyede kar etmek için en azından başta sahibinin de çalışması gerekli siye düşünüyorum. Ancak asıl sektörün ihtiyacı olan şey acilen estetiğin ve çağın gereklerinin mahalle arasındaki kuaförlerde de bir norm haline gelmesi.
I currently rent a suite at Salon Republic. I wanted to expand and found a 650sqft space, but had to walk away because I CLEARLY underestimated everything involved. This gave me new hope to start my search again soon. Thanks and keep up the good work.....
I'm so happy to hear this was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I really have been pushing back my passions because I wanted a career that pays a lot but I decided that I’m getting my cosmetology license in highschool. I really love the beauty industry! So I’m going for my dreams 🥰
I love how your real about the real important thing you need and have to do to open a salon bc a lot of people sugar coat and skip these details so thank you for your thorough information
Wow I did this same thing...5yrs ago changed an office space to a private salon for just me and I love it.
I have a question! So did you take a loan to “buy” the space? Or are you just renting the building? I was wondering how you can do remodeling with only being a renter or renting a space. I’m new to all of this, but want to open my own salon upon graduating!
She is renting. Most of times the landlord does allows you to remodel the space to your needs. Otherwise they would not be able to rent out the space.
she rents the storefront with a NNN lease - those are often 5 years long or more, include the rent fee + a portion of property tax, building maintenance, CAM if you are in a shopping center. Mandatory insurance etc
She has Triple Net wrong - look that up for a better understanding - also she mentioned paying double rent - it is very common in commercial real estate to get 3-6 months free - ASK FOR IT every time you sign a lease
Remembering this 🤔
Im currently in this process I should be opening this month ! By any chance how much is your electricity bill on average? Im afraid it will be alot I’m located in California as well , the salon is connected to two other businesses and i was told by an electrician to be ware because it might be a shared meter and they might want me to pay for everyone when i put the electricity bill on my name , thanks in advance!
This is awesome info thank you so much!!! You mentioned getting licences, insurance and filings after getting the building... any tips on where to start with that part? Also, would love to hear more on how you chose your salon name, logo etc. You're awesome!!! God bless!!
I'll keep that in mind for a future video!
Hey, thank you for the info. I’m in my 5th month of cosmetology, and my goal is to open a salon after graduation. Can you give me some advice please!
Omggg idk why i just came across your videos! Obviously binge watching 😬 thanks for being so open and honest about this!!! Also congrats on your journey. Keep the vids coming please 🙌🏼💕
Thank you so much, Danielle! I'm so happy to hear this has been helpful!
All of these cost give me anxiety 😳 it’s so worth it but phew!
my Dream is To open A Hair/Nail salon soon as I finish college and Cosmetology school 💖😌
What a great video!! This gets me so excited to plan out my dream ♥️ I’m currently waiting on my license in the mail ♥️
I'm so happy to hear you loved it. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for all the information you put in your videos! I admire you so much and cant wait til I'm in my own salon one day:)
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear you loved it!
I looove youuu. You look like a really positve person 😍😍😍 we need more of yyou
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
A huge inspiration. How did you grow or build your clients when starting your own salon space?
Thank you so much! I built the majority of my clientelle from Instagram!
Working on becoming a nail tech and want to work independently, this is great. New sub!
Thanks so much for subscribing!
This was a very helpful video. I am a salon owner, considering the concrete floors.
Just wondering how it’s held up, how easy is it to maintain.?
........and how is it on your back, legs, and feet after a long day on your feet?
Your so gorgeous 😍I’m going to cosmetology school next month and I eventually want my own salon because working for myself is my dream this video was very helpful
Hey Riana I'm so happy to hear you've learned so much from my videos! Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you for the information. I am in the process of opening my beauty parlor.
I’ve been watching you since Beauty School and never thought I would come back and watch this trying to make my next BIG step. Thank you so much for this !
Wow you are really smart my friend, I really salute you, all the best luck for you
Hi! I’ve been binge watching you all day! I love you style and your space. Did you have to take out a business loan for all of the construction and renovation?
No, I didn't. We had enough money saved up so we didn't have to go into debt for it. Thanks for watching!
Jamie Dana what a blessing! Do you mind giving a rang for how much one should save for a renovation similar to yours?
See you at ISSE btw🤗 I got excited when I saw your name on one of the classes!
$20,000+ for a cosmetology license and $20,000+ for a new salon. 🤯
Small investment for 100k yrly career
Imagine how that costs in a third world country like mine😨
@@hiddenriver1980 Thats what I thought when I went to college... it was a small investment for all the money I was going to make and I didn’t get that experience. So now I’m very wary of how much money it takes to do things with the worst outcome on mind.
So inspirational, thank you!!
How are you able to afford paying a Salon’s rent and your rent at home? Oh and can you please make a video about your experience in cosmetology school and how/why you became a hairstylist? Once again, thank you so much for being so helpful!
Hi Hanmalyn! Thank you so much for the suggestion! I'll definitely keep that in mind for a future video, however in the meantime you can check out this video th-cam.com/video/yTTd48iTWTc/w-d-xo.html as I tell a lot of my story there!
Jamie Dana I definitely just watched it, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Can you do a video on how you can pay the rent of your salon with no clients to start? Like would you have to get a night job or something
This video is everything!! Very informative
This is definitely very useful information. I'm currently working on opening a salon in Seattle and it's scary taking the next step and very scary not knowing how much money it's going to cost! Thank you for being transparent and detailed with your experience in opening up your own salon!
I'm so happy to hear this was helpful. Thanks for watching Kane!
thank you so much for putting out this video 🙌🏻 loved the salon tour as well!!
Thank you!
Love your glasses brand and where did you get them!
Amazing advice!!
Jamie Dana love your videos! I follow you on Instagram and you are such an inspiration and so down to earth which I love!
Thank you so much, Therese!
Every single thing you said in the first 3 minutes is my life! I am looking for a bigger space to open a salon from a salon suite for the same exact reasons, you helped so much!
This is so helpful Jamie!! Thank you! Your criteria is the same as mine! I don't want a big space, I don't want more than 2 stylists besides myself and not even right away!
I used buyrite beauty and minerva for all my salon furnishings & equipment
This is my dream! I would be I interested in a video about the specifics of how to go about financing your own micro-salon like this. That’s where I don’t know where or how to start. When I applied for a business loan, they wanted collateral, and since I wanted to lease a space, there wasn’t real property to use as collateral. I’ve been stuck ever since.
Thank you so much for your feedback, Alysia! I'll definitely keep that in mind for a video!
Thanks for this video!! So helpful
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear that this was helpful!
Do you get your renters insurance through your car insurance ? Thanks for the video
This was amazing! Very helpful. Thank you for the video. Oh & CONGRATULATIONS on your salon!
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear you loved it.
you didn’t pay for the manual labor for ripping up the flooring 😓😓😓 must be nice
Truuuuuth! Oh Jamie how I wish I'd come across this video sooner... After 7 months of delays, the build finally started on my beauty salon this month in NZ. A lot of what you've said is exactly like I've experienced. So many more $$$$ than I'd originally budgeted for and yes, a few mental breakdowns down but it'll be so worth it soon. Thank you for the real talk and I hope more people find this in the lead up to going it alone, so informative x
Thanks for sharing! Did you take a business loan or did you just save up money for your shop. Also are you paying rent while it’s under construction? And did you have to get a LLC? Thanks 😊
When you say your place how did you get the building owner to hold the place for you? If that makes sense...When you knew that’s what you wanted what was your next step with the leasing company
I live in los angeles area and this video game me so much information had no clue on where to start to open up a hair salon independently...I'm 25 yrs and have been doing hair for 7yrs now and I'm looking to open a hair salon
I would recommend checking out different salon owners in your area and seeing if you can get more indepth tips and tricks for starting a salon in your area. Thanks for watching!
Love this video. Awesome advice!
Hey Jamie,
I'm Abhishek from India. I'm a hairstylist+barber... I have 7+ yrs experience in this industry .. I have worked in bollywood, i have worked in a salon chain, i have worked in Princess cruises spa... please reply
Thank you 😊
I love your tutorials! Im a cutter in the Bay Area I used to work in SF in the 90s and im Yosh trained, but only do cuts and extensions. Your videos are so great for learning color and giving me some confidence to hopefully someday open my own place. I just want a small studio for myself after years of working in a salon.
Thanks so much for watching! I'm so happy to hear my videos are giving you confidence!
You're empowering! Ty for breaking it down. I think your salon is amazing! Labor of 💘
Thanks so much for watching!
giselle valk ❤️
This is all great info but how were you able to pay for this and how long did this entire process take
Thanks! We saved for it for a long time. Thanks for watching!
Are you ever going to own that spot or will you always rent?
Thanks for sharing, wonderful advice!!
You're so welcome. thanks so much for watching!
Great video!! Thank you so much for this. I'm opening a suite and I'm terrified. This was so informative.
I'm so happy to hear this video was helpful. Good luck on the salon!
What about having state board come in and check everything out? Im opening my new salon and going through the process of finding a place at the moment!
What do you mean? Can you elaborate what you are wondering about?
Doesn’t state board come in when you first open a salon to make sure everything is correct?
I’m opening a salon soon.. currently looking at locations. I’ve been doing on location makeup for the last 6 years but will be adding waxing once I have an location. Right now I just travel all around my town!
I’m just figuring out everything I have to do as far as licensing/ state board / permits etc!
Thanks for your time to write me back! You’re an inspiration!
Love this 🥰♥️This will be me soon 😊
Do you suggest getting a small business loan? Can you make a video on this topic 🤍🤗
Thank you so much for the video, i'm planning on opening a beauty salon and this video help me a lot!!
Love the detail! Appreciate you taking the time to make this video for us. Question: did you take out a loan for the renovations etc? If so, how did you go about that?
This is the information no one shares lol 😅
Well thank you for responding back and I love your videos and your work 🙌🏼💕☺️
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
NNN leases require much longer rent contract than a suite. As long as 10 years depending on your location
If no one knew renting in sqft is an option
Love your honesty and professionalism..Salon is beautiful
Thanks so much!
Awesome Congratulations will share with my friends/co workers So Very Proud of You Camay Coiffures from Maryland ♥️💯✔✂️
Did you finance the opening of your micro salon yourself? Or would you suggest to do a small business loan? Thanks!
I actually talk about that in the video. I saved up for it and didn't finance. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your great sharing. You salon is a LLC or sole proprietorship?
Thanks so much for making this video. So many people just make these videos to brag about themselves and how successful they are but never give details. One thing, did you get a loan? How did you fund the renovation? Really helpful!
I mentioned this in the video, but we saved up for this ourselves. Thanks for watching!
I’m so inspired after watching this video 🙀😻
Thank you so much, Jami!
This woman is smart beautiful smart and helpful. Dresses very nice too .
Thanks!
Did you happen to pay for everything out of pocket? Did you get a loan?
when im older, i want to own a hair salon
Very inspiring! I want this size one day! Great work!
Thank you so much!
Loved these details thank you for sharing!
I'm thrilled to hear you loved it. Thanks for watching!
love it!!!!
I feel so discouraged. I cannot find an affordable lease in the area I need.
Thank you so much !! This video helped me so much ❤
Where are you located! Address please love your work
I’m in Lake Forest, CA. I’m not taking new clients at the moment, but you’re welcome to come to the salon and have one of our stylists help you!
How did you keep all your clients coming to you after moving?
They wanted to follow me so I was able to keep them. Thanks for watching!
Did you hire your staff as w2 workers or 1099 ?
I tried to like this video a million times lol, thank you for this
Awesome! I’m the process as well. Good to hear. Are you driving far or close to your house?
Thank you so much! I'm not too far from my house. Good luck!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear you loved it.
Very helpful
I'm so happy to hear that you found this helpful. Thanks for watching!
I'm surprised the landlord did not pay for the plumbing and floors. We just moved into a new building and the owner paid for everything minus our salon stuff
Watching you talk I kept thinking how much you look like Blake Lively 😳 Like Spot on!! Anyone else agree???
I love Blake Lively! Thank you!
No problem 😬💕
Haha! Yes! I do see that too!
I’m trying to help my daughter follow her dreams, would you recommend a Business Management Degree in order to start her own salon.
You can combine those two insurance policies by getting a BOP business owner policy. That policy comes with lots of extra perks as well like cyber security and business interruption.
Thanks for sharing. This video confirms my dreams of opening a salon. God is awesome! Thanks for allowing him to use you
Hi! Future salon suites owner here. So I plan on only owning the property and renting out my suites to hairstylists and etc. I see that you did construction on your building but you’re renting it. So how does that work? Do you have to purchase the building to do construction or are you leasing it and able to do construction?
So great! DANA DUDE YES you rock
Thank you so much, Krystal!
you are seriously such a breath of fresh air! this video was so helpful, you've got me hooked and binging your vids for the rest of the night!
