I love the fact that you were so transparent and so honest about everything this is just amazing!!!! I like that you gave the full details about the ins and outs of running the salon and not just about the money like you said!!!💞💓💖💖💞💖💝💜💜💓💕💕💗💓💓💞💓💖💖💝💝💝💝💜💜💝💖💓💞
This video was EXACTLY what I needed! There was so much helpful info in this video thank you!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this! This is my first year opening my storefront. Everything you said is 100 percent correct! This is my dream, and I love helping others! I actually enjoy it...but sometimes I doubt myself because of the stress, and absolutely no down time! I just keep praying because I dont know what else I would do! I need to get the right help, but good help is hard to come by.
Yes good and genuine Helo is hard to come by even with friends and family unfortunately DONT DO BUSINESS WITH FAMILY maybe making them assistant but not too much. Try not to expose where you shop etc. people are always backstabbing are trying stick around to learn your secrets and bounce. My own sister is mad at me for telling her how much my total salon rent is because she’s trying to figure out if I’m over charging her. Tbh I asked $100 week she has a online boutique that I own personally spending $50-150 every visit I told her I wanted a $109 she got an attitude like I feel like that’s reasonable. That’s least I personally been charge most $150 week both rent and I had someone taking 60% AND I STILL SUPPLIED NY OWN MATERIAL
it’s so discouraging at times trying to build your salon dream team cause like you said I don’t want no drama etc but I know females always find a way start something but I’m doing be the one who DEADS IT
I worked at plenty salons as a nails tech some Vietnamese some hair salons own by African Americans and I seen things I didn’t want to do. SHOOT MY OWN SCHOOL DISAPPOINTED ME putting dish detergent in shampoo bottles because they don’t have supplies like IF I DONT GOT I JUST DONT I’m not going charge for professional products when I’m using DISH DETERGENT
Unfortunately this industry can have a lot of greedy and people and when yours really trying to build your own team it CAN BE ROUGH
See I'm totally opposite I had an amazing salon I was renting the building had 3 girls and a nail tech ran a small town monopolized it but 8 years later he wanted the building back because he was a pastor and his church was leaking so he wanted to move his congregation there I got let go and now my house is my salon and I hate it all my ppl followed me I'm grateful for them I'm a barber / hairdresser and I wouldn't change that for the world I love going to work everyday I love chilling with my peoples I love seeing people that have supported me for the last five years last eight years but doing it out of my house is burning me out and it's not making you love this anymore and I hate that the only thing that's got me happy is knowing that I can get a storage shed and convert that over not a tiny house but make it into a salon so that's my next move wish me luck
Maybe a small studio salon for only you, especially since you have clientelle
Thank you
Sounds like you were not prepared before going in... glad you got out when u did
Hey love I’m seeing this video 4 years later I’m think if stepping into the salon suites world and I would love to ask you some questions Is there a way I can get in contact with you ?
Hey there!!
Thank you for reaching out. I’m happy to help. Please submit your questions through my website forum (bottom of the page)
www.keepingupwithbrittney.com.
Are you a pisces ♓?
No, cancer.
So how much should i invest in a nail salone
There's no blanket answer for this question. It truly depends on a variety of factors. If you would like to email me, I can get more information and provide my recommendation. Email: Btalks@yahoo.com
Brittney Bundles ok
I'm interested to know how you planned for this business venture. Did you find someone to mentor you? Was your business plan in alignment with your actual vision and mission?
I discuss more regarding my plans, vision, and mission on my podcast here: anchor.fm/brittneybundles
Never a franchise but a private yes.
I have the worst haircut(Rocker with an 80s hairstyle,,)for the business of hairstylist.
But still despite not liking and having zero interest in fashion and hair styles I bought an 95k hair salon that has 9 chairs and 2 spa rooms(these rooms are already leased before purchasing the place and cover 4000$ of the 6100$ monthly lease!..
Mortgage is 720$/month-I provided 10k in down payment.
I am in the International Vancouver,Canada.
My location is Downtown.
And yes I do offer at least great opening hours 7 days a week and 12 hours a day access to the salon for the stylists.
That help getting stylists moving in,,
On the 9 chairs I managed to have 5 rented out monthly by the second week owning it.
-5000$
plus the already income from both spa already rented out rooms
-4000$
INCOME---9000$/MONTH (squaring here)
Monthly expenses are:
Mortgage-720$
Utilities-400$ (squaring here)
Lease-6100$
Property tax-280$
EXPENSES---7500$(squaring here again,)
So I end out right now with 2500$ a month doing absolutely nothing,nothing.
And still have 4 chairs to rent out.
then once the chairs rented out my 2500$ will become 6500$ a month doing nothing(utilities might go up of 200$ish so 6300$.
Now you have a detailed! plan that show you"yes buy an hair salon!!!"
-BUY SMALL
-NO FRANCHISE
-NEVER HIRE PROFESSIONALS BY THE HOUR!(MONTHLY CONTRACTORS ONLY)
All best!
Sounds like a big excuse.
Journey and testimony in business.
Many entrepreneurs have started and ended certain businesses and have gone on to be successful. This is very common. However, thank you for watching.
Opening up a business you have to hustle but the hustle is not for everybody yes in your case you have to know when you have to leave keep your sanity your video will help a lot of people out may you be blessed
I’m a stylist and plan to open up my own business I just wanted to say this video was very inspirational I have now subscribe to your channel because I love what you stand for I will continue to follow you keep up the great work and continue encouraging I’ve been a stylist for a many of years working for a corporate company I’m the type who don’t like to jump feet 🦶 first I have to think things out before doing them that’s why I feel a lot of what you are saying because it’s facts my time is coming 😉
“Hustling to disappear”!!!! Facts💯💯💯💯💯
This is why I have been trying to teach my daughter to get a Business Education. You got to have the knowledge people. The school of hard knocks will break your spirit in Business even if it is an online Business. You just can't float through with no Business Strategy, Business Plan, Marketing Plan, etc. I like her story but I think she would have a lot better ending if she had a better Business Plan and Strategy up front. Remember most businesses fail within the first 5 years and trust me there is a reason for this.
Thank you for watching!
I had a business plan. There are many entrepreneurs that have a business education and have experienced similar experiences. I've had the pleasure to speak at multiple colleges (business courses) outling my journey and how to maintain while moving forward after "failing" in business. A very important part in business is not only knowing when to start, but also knowing when to get out. I wish everyone the best in their business endeavors and look forward to continued growth and prosperity through the grace of God.
Here's a link to one of the business classes that I was invited to speak at: th-cam.com/video/2xrXPAFV7BQ/w-d-xo.html
It was because of my business strategy that I am now able to live out my dream of empowering people through entrepreneurship...while making mobile money online, through workshops, presentations, and speaking events.
I like that you mentioned to pray about it. If it's meant to be God will make it happen
Sounds like you should have opened a 100% booth rent salon... with a commission based salon you are way more involved with the day to day! Hope in the future you will get another shot
So grateful for this video. I've been in the healthcare field now 7 years but always wanted my own hair salon. This gave me mostly all my pointers. Is there a way I could personally speak with you ?
My pleasure! Email is my best point of communication at this time. Feel free to email at btalks@yahoo.com.
Same here
Yeah owning a brick and mortar business is not for everyone. Some people prefer online business, and some prefer store fronts. It's about preference and the different skills required for each but we'll never know what works for us til we jump in! Another thing to consider is industry, some people might think e-commerce or opening a store isn't for them, but in reality they could've just been in the wrong industry or opened the wrong kind of business for their personality 🤷
I'm like you though, I have to jump in and see for myself lol I'd rather know now than spend the rest of my life wondering what if! Thanks for sharing
Well said
Thank you for your truth & this video. A great video to watch before starting a business!!
This video is amazing. I’d love to learn how to drop ship from you, are you teaching?
Thank you! I still offer drop shipping. I created an ebook explaining the process from drop shipping to selling in bulk.
Drop shipping:badchickhair.com/products/drop-shipping
Ebook: badchickhair.com/products/e-book-drop-shipping-guide-for-hair-businesses
Please let me know if you have any questions. I’m happy to help!
Also whoever is going through the same process as me trying to hire employees etc don’t just go for family and friends check their work are the constantly booked can the afford your rent. How is there profile page are they someone whom will snap easily. It may be funny be everyone doesn’t before the customer is always right so is this someone willing to risk violence and can’t control themselves. How are they around other females. How LONG does their services take. I didn’t realize until I got my own Salon that time is REALLY MONEY !
Thats how my business was i didn't have the time and they stole from me and so much more
Nice
i didnt like this video britt 🥵🥵 . i wanted you to not bring any personal matter in this i clicked because i wanted you to say i bought this building for , xys. utilities was ... , equiptment was , blah blah blah . supplies was yadda yadda . this is where i go these things from (reference)
I was very transparent and detailed as to what I experienced and my overall outlook. I have many videos on this channel. If this one didn’t sit right with you, I hope that you find one that does. I also have a podcast where I dive deeper into my salon experience plus more! (I do express transparency and my personal experiences though). Here is the link if you’d like to tune in: anchor.fm/brittneybundles
Can I open a salon without being a stylist and having a license? I don’t wanna do hair myself I just wanna own it.
It depends on your state laws. For example in the state of Michigan you can own a salon without having a license, however you’re required to have a licensed manager. Please click this link for more details. th-cam.com/video/IB8_OEJmTto/w-d-xo.html
GlamGiirl27 I do not recommend it
@@BrittneyBundles you will regret it boo. Been there done that. My salon is closed and i wanna start cosmetology school so I can re open it
Jussie Belance why will you regret it ?
ThanksMaddyTV why not ?
Sending appreciation all the way from South Africa🇿🇦
Thank you!!!
Oh so you stretched yourself and your finances to thin. That`s the lesson you thought some future business owners.
I ultimately did not find fulfillment in that particular business venture. Not only should finances and time be taken into consideration, one’s fulfillment/happiness, long term goals, and vision, should as well. I’m grateful for the experience and blessed in the opportunities that has come from this experience. ❤️
This is great content. I like understanding both sides of owning a salon, the pros & cons. Thank you for sharing your experiences! If you don’t mind me asking, what were you dropshipping?
Thank you! I drop ship hair extensions through BadChickHair.com :)
