Daydreaming about owning your own mini beauty salon is a bit like wondering if the grass is greener on the other side of the proverbial fence. We all want to better our lives, and it is only natural for talented beauticians to want a better professional life. But . . . there is always a but to these discussions . . . do you have what it takes to make it on your own in the business world?
We will give you something to think about in this article. We are Salon & Spa Galleria, leading the way in salon suite rentals in the Fort Worth area with twenty luxury salon suites locations. Call us at 972-691-7300 for more information.
Now, let’s talk about you!
Successful beauty salon suite renters have these characteristics
Based on our experience in this industry, we can say, without hesitation, that most successful small beauty salon business owners all have the following characteristics:
- They are all hard-workers
- They are all self-starters
- None of them are easily discouraged
- All of them are talented in their craft
- All of them are people-persons with winning personalities
In a way, you would expect these traits in them all and, truthfully, most articles like this one will rehash the same points. So let’s break new ground with a couple new points you normally won’t read in these types of articles.
Are you willing to accept advice about owning a beauty salon?
Not everyone is, you know! Not everyone has the modesty and humility to admit that they do not know everything about owning a business. It seems odd for that to be true, but we have seen proof of that statement.
Owning a business is unlike anything else you will experience, even a one-person hair salon. There are taxes and regulations to deal with. There is self-doubt to deal with. There is a constant need to improve. And there is the realization that you have no safety net, and that is a scary place to be. Still, despite all that, some people do not like to ask questions or advice from other people, and that unwillingness spells the death of their small business.
Salon and Spa Galleria excels in the continued support we give to our clients. We offer workshops on valuable topics like marketing and business management. We are constantly checking with our clients to ask how they are doing. But none of that does any good if the client is unwilling to accept the help and advice offered.
Can you find balance while owning a beauty salon?
This is a point you won’t read very often, if at all. Are you able to find balance between your work life and your private life? Working hard daily, twelve, fourteen-hour days, leads to burnout, and burnout leads to failure. We have seen it happen far too-often, and we don’t want it to happen to any of you reading this. You must be able to walk away from your business, daily, for some “you time.”
Can you do that?
Salon & Spa Galleria is calling to you
If you are capable of finding balance, and if you are capable of taking advice, we at Salon & Spa Galleria would love to talk to you. Call us and arrange for a tour of our facilities. It just might be a life-changing phone call.
