[@stephanieallen6406]

Rule of thumb: If you make your rent the first 3 days you work of the month you will be successful.

I started a salon in my home a few years ago. Best decision I ever made with taking control of my finances. I am one happy stylist.

[@JamieDana]

Thats amazing. Thanks for sharing!

[@ReileyCollier]

I did booth rent right out of school! Such a challenge, but so rewarding!

[@nveazie]

Wow, recommendations. How much is rent

[@ReileyCollier]

Girl after 10 years in a salon that took 60 percent of everything i made. When the pandemic hit it made me realised how I was so afraid to be on my own.. That I screwed myself. I have had people none stop message me wondering when I was going to do hair again after everything opened back up... But I am finnally ready. I am going to finally after 12 years of doing hair. Finally going to try booth renting. And your video is helping me. Thank you so much.

[@Falalalalalalala]

How is it going?

[@musiclady0711]

So based on your questions, I'm not even remotely ready to be out on my own,. But I just got me a salon suite anyway 😂😂 I think I may be a special case because there was a situation at the salon I was at and now I'm on my own anyway. The suite is currently being built so I actually have some time to get myself together! This is good insight for me anyway because there's some expenses I hadn't thought of yet, so thank you for that!

[@nveazie]

How is it going. I want to do the same

[@joshuagriffiths414]

this video has been a HUGE help to me, thank you so much. you hit the nail on the head for every topic and we're very clear about all the points and questions made, i've been toying with the idea of renting a chair in the barbershop i work at and your video has really given me confidence in trying to achieve that. LIFESAVER!

[@miriamblanco6863]

You are amazing. Renting was the best decision of my life!!!! Best video ever, what am I talking about all your videos are the best on KZbin!

I just open my salón suite a month ago and I love it !! Thank 🙏🏻

[@JamieDana]

Congratulations! Thanks for watching 💛

[@rhondalove1047]

Just moved to a new state and the barbershop I'll be at does booth rental. Your tips and suggestions, were very concise. While I'm sure the shop owner will give me some suggestions, it's still good to do my own research in preparation. Thanks for this.

[@cat-yz2ew]

If you move from a "mall salon" to a privately owned salon without a brand name, my experience is that you will NOT retain most of your clientele.

[@tazb6937]

Also need to factor in loss of clientele if you move more than 10 miles or so. Advertising is also a big cost. One more thing, is to find out if you'll need to pay a deposit for your local electric or water companies. I had gotten a surprise hit of a $500 deposit for electric. Didn't see that coming. :(

[@intuitivewellnessrituals]

Taz B those are very good points as well as so many other things like internet if using a merchant service instead of just cash.

[@tazb6937]

I did get it back, but not all of it. I got charged "administrative fees" just for the act giving me back my own money.

[@stephanieallen6406]

You don't need to advertise to get clients your clients are your advertisement and that's your best advertisement is word-of-mouth

[@lf9341]

you should not be paying an electric bill or water...l.

[@marcilinoandfriends4067]

After I graduated school in 2006 , I started out at a chain and after that another chain. I always wanted my own independence . I left there and tried out house calls. Very interesting when shampooing hair in a small sink. Anyway starting a booth rental tomorrow and two clients had to reschedule already . I am excited but not excited to fail. So far my calculations for the first day I would break even but with the cancellations I have to fill that spot . I am trying to think positive but also realistic. I passed on another chain salon position to finally pursue this dream. I’m happy no matter what happens . It will be like starting over new. Always room to learn . I Love your video , helped me so much. Thank you .

[@kathrynmartin5739]

You are too cute! And thanks for your help on this subject. I'm about 80% ready to go out on my own.. still taking walk ins from the salon I'm at so needing to make sure I can make it on requests only.

[@JamieDana]

I'm so glad to hear this was helpful. Thanks so much for watching!

[@desireeflores8066]

This was extremely helpful!! I am considering renting a chair with another hairstylist I’ve known since beauty school and worked with for 2 years in a salon!!

[@lf9341]

How is it?

[@lix_fibney1668]

It would be helpful to have a tax pro for beauty pros interview

[@intuitivewellnessrituals]

lix_fibney great idea if theres enough general topics because so many nuances

[@sarahmerseal1870]

Opened a salon suite but freaking over all the little extras after being a commission stylist for the first 22 years of my career. Any and all help/advice is much appreciated 😘🙏🏻🙈

[@lf9341]

how is it going?

[@Katmargue]

Will you do a video on how to set up a stylist website? Your website is gorgeous, I have a stylist website through wix but it doesn’t look so professional.

[@JamieDana]

I'll keep that in mind for a future video. Thanks for watching!

So I'm going out on my own at the end of September. I'm going to rent two chairs in a salon. I am working on improving my marketing skills and am formulating all my costs. I'm 43 and it is high time. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't scared.

Thank you for the advices! But it's stressing me out a bit; my partner and I started about 1 year and a half ago, but we grew so quickly. We live in Europe and want to move to another European country to start our own salon. Are you saying that you can't start a salon from scratch with no clientele at all?

[@JamieDana]

I don't give out one on one or personal advice in my comments. Sorry to disappoint! Thanks so much for watching my video.

[@Hailey_Olivia]

My salon is switching to exclusively booth renting after me doing commission for a year and before I worked here I was at a chain salon doing hourly/commission. I’ve been really nervous even with all the research and studying past checks and comparing, I know I’ll make more money and I know I’ll be able to afford what I need, just not immediately.. so I’ve been worried if I should switch to another color line to save money or switch shampoos and all different things. My mind has been all over the place in a mix of excitement and worry 😅

[@hetal177]

when we rent a booth or chair who is liable for insurance as a stylist do I have to have insurance or is the owner is responsible ?

[@kellyann3796]

What happens when you low light somebody’s hair with a semi and it fades or is washed out ? Won’t the hair style look totally different that it did originally? Always wondered about semi lowlights

[@JamieDana]

It will fade but Redken Shades is true to tone 😉. Thanks for watching!

[@kellyann3796]

Thank you so much

[@sleepylittlefairy]

My salon won’t let us have clients numbers and it worries me bc I don’t see myself staying even in this city :( and I’m afraid of starting all over and not being able to be on my own for longer

[@ayoogee15]

Voted for you 💗

[@Jadegreen24]

okay so question I work for a certain company and have for about 3 years now and I have a decent amount of clients but its mostly a walk in only and that's usually what I get but im always handing out my business cards to people who love my work and connect well with. ive been doing hair now for almost 6 years so I have experience in hair. so im wondering how do I know im ready to be on my own booking wise. my weeks are different all the time. I hope this question makes sense

[@bluessarah2208]

First. I Looove youuuuu

[@JamieDana]

Thank you!

[@amandacox4012]

How is this possible if you work in a salon that had you sign a non compete? How does one stylist have clientele to take with her to a suite or booth rent!? I’m struggling with this.

[@romanjones434]

Same here. Im under the impression that wel have to bite the bullet and go outside to hand out cards, ask for referally from friends, and build from the bottom

[@andreae.dinwiddie1827]

🤔 Tank you

[@Msrussianbeauty20]

Booth rental is illegal in PA

[@gretchentrumper9423]

I was going to say this....

[@rain3743]

So it's all what? Commission?

[@gretchentrumper9423]

Either commission or straight hourly

[@intuitivewellnessrituals]

what about a salon suite?
