Opening A Home Salon | Home Salon Tour | The Good, The Bad and THE UGLY!

[@sandrataylor3665]

I’ve had my salon in my home for 18 years and love it because I’ve been able to be there for my children always and have kept my same clients through the 08 collapse and COVID.

[@karimehendrix]

Do you have an llc? I’m interested in opening a home salon for other beauty services.

[@sandrataylor3665]

@@karimehendrix I don’t have a llc but that is a good thing to have for protection

[@shamonlisaevans6365]

Amen

[@vivv5402]

I like the way you talk. You have a nice voice, easy to listen to and I love how you get to the point, not dragging out the video and not talking about yourself . It's so important I think. Keep it up 🙂

[@michelleweatherspoon8087]

Thank you so much for sharing. I am turning a room in my home into a salon and this helped alot.

[@HaXuna]

I am just beginning my hairstylist education because I want to work closer at home. Thank you so much for all the info ❤

[@erinwilliams1189]

Esthetician student here that’s considering opening up a home salon when I’m certified! This might be a very simple question but I’m not that knowledgeable in retail just yet. How does selling retail work? Do you make your own products? Do you have to partner up with a company in order to sell products? Loved your video- very beautiful space! 💕

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Hey Erin! Having a home business is awesome in our industry. I bet you will love it! As for retail, you can purchase products wholesale at your supplier and then double the cost and retail it. You can also contact companies (for example, I often order directly from KMS), make a wholesale order, double your cost and retail it that way.

[@lf9341]

You just double the price and add sales tax . When you have a business license you can buy products you will sell without tax. In the old days people may have tripled the price...now you cannot have clients pay more if something sells at sephora or amazon. For example, we sell olaplex. It costs me $14 for a shampoo, so I sell it for $28 plus tax ( since that is what it retails for)because I have to pay sales tax at the end of the month to the state. We also sell davines which I order and we pay for shipping.

I’m in Texas and want to open a hair salon in my home. Iv read the rules and regulations and it’s seems it’s not legal to do any kind of color services at home? It’s kind of hard to understand … do you know if this is true? How do I find out for sure? Call TDLR? I’m just confused 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@GlamGirlGabi]

@@crystalward2087 I wish I could help but I'm Canadian so I have absolutely no idea. It's fine here but I don't know in the USA.

[@brendavanwinkle1136]

Hello! I am in cosmetology school right now and I am really hoping to be able to have my own in home salon - Do you have any tips on how to get started? How to build clientele? What is needed to be done before making it a business of your own?

[@morgandawn2357]

I am currently in school taking a full specialty class and would love to have a small home salon form home to do nails/lashes/makeup etc some day. this video helped so much. thank you (:

[@akelis9195]

Once someone I know contacted me same day which was a Sunday if I can do their hair and told them the price they started to negotiate pricing with me! At that moment I knew I need to set boundaries!

[@deadgirldigest5967]

Thank you! This was most helpful. I'm starting my own here soon.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I’m so glad that you found it helpful! Let me know if you have any questions after you start yours. Xox

[@KaChristianVlogs]

I can relate I started my own home salon 2020 July .it's doing good during pandemic ..Love from the Philippines

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Yes it’s fantastic during the pandemic. You just have to be sure to continue following all safety protocols so you don’t risk bringing Covid into your home. I wear masks and disinfect after every client.

[@KaChristianVlogs]

@@GlamGirlGabi yes me and wife always follow safety protocols. We disinfecting every after clients.

[@lady4dajbs]

Moving out of my home to a space....expanding my clients that I take and want to keep them out of my home

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I can definitely understand that

[@connierios8162]

Thank you for sharing 😊❤ I’ve been researching here in Texas to do the same but everyone keeps telling me I am not plowed to open a busines/salon in a home. The zoning does not allow it 😢 Do you have any information that might be able to help me?

[@MegaNewmom]

Excellent tips! Thank you!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

You’re welcome. I’m glad that it was helpful to you ❤️

[@hearstylesmusicbeautyandmo7334]

Thank you for this valuable information

[@jesuslivesinme881]

This is great information.

[@jmorgan6218]

Do you have to get a permit if doing it from your home?

[@laurenstevens2540]

I've had my in home salon for 12 years and bored with organization around the station. I'd love to see how you organize towels, shears, capes, brushes and styling products near your workspace. Also when booking clients I normally do text 98% of the time. I no longer work on weekends just in-between carpool times Monday through Friday. Do you allow yourself an hour a day for booking or moving clients around in your work hours or outside that time frame? My kids get so tired of me on my phone all the time. I explain I'm not looking at shoes or Instagram hair, I'm booking appointments and normally have 80 at one time I'm trying to juggle. I'm no longer taking new clients and insisting on having prebooking clients only. I always give in because money is always to be made. Unfortunately my self care and my home isn't where I'd love it to be. Struggling a bit. I love learning from others. I'd love yours or others opinion. Thanks.

Thank you so much for content, it is very informational and gives a lot to think about I am a AZ licensed stylist..can you tell me steps to legally start home salon???

[@veracharles3697]

Thanks so much!!! I admire your home saloon👌👌 You are amazing and generous with advice. Is that ok to leave clients in the salon to pick up your kids from school?

[@CJH_Taylor]

I would say no simply because the customer is always priority because they are paying for a service. It is best to either find someone that you car pools with ( you do morning and they do afternoon) they go to daycare for a little while or just not have the appointment at the times you're needed as a mother

[@jackiekeesler4591]

I am sure she meant to say that she would schedule around picking her kids up, leaving time to allow for that before the next client will be getting there.

[@cholette213]

Hello, I really love your videos and I’m wondering where are you in Canada? I’m in Canada too.

How is about the legal topic, is there any requirements to commit before

What about your safety? Do you ever worry about your safety?

[@saraihernandez8798]

How do you get this approved with your city, I tried to get a permit today to make a beauty shed and I was denied because I can't use the shed for commercial use because I love in a residential area

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Where do you live?

[@saraihernandez8798]

I live in texas

@@GlamGirlGabi hi I have the same question, I am in Los Angeles Ca and would like to know how to get a permit. Thanks so much

I am based out of southwestern Ontario in Canada.

[@melissachacon2181]

I would recommend you look into fortified shampoo for fast hair growth.

[@saraht-ds1ml]

No kids allowed !

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Yes no kids! It just looks SO UNPROFESSIONAL. Unless they're your clients kids. That's obviously fine but your kids shouldn't be running around topless in the salon and then give the client a bill for $350.00. LOL

[@wonderfulCreator]

Thanks for sharing! Really helpful for me !
