Hmm. Well it works out on 10% that the salon gets between £18 and £26.
Like I said, pretty much do 50-60% for salon staff.

I am very surprised by this. If you had to rent it would be a fixed cost based on location, size and facilities offered. You would also most likely be tied into a lease. You would have to work out how many customers or units of Botox you would administer per day and aim to attract as many as you could in order to make a profit. You would have to market yourself and build a reputation. Yet you expect others to take all those risks and give them a small return for their trouble for aligning yourself with their business. Plus you expect them to provide the clients that they have built up.
They are hardly getting money for nothing!
Good luck if you are achieving it this way but I feel the more savvy business owners will give you short shrift.:Love:

Yeh. Maybe.
Our main salon is a beauty place doing nails, eyelashes, tans etc. They said they've been looking for someone to do botox/fillers for ages because they're customers ask about it.
They seem happy now that they are able to keep their customers happy by providing what they want and make a little cash on the side.
I see what you mean though - why should they do it for very little cash? and risk someone they dont know upsetting their customers?
Fortunately, its going very well and the customers are very pleased so the salon is pleased. I guess maybe the customers come in for botox and then get their nails or a tan at the same time too.
One of the things I guess is that in my area there isnt a great deal of competition offering a home/salon botox/filler service. Only option is larger (and more expensive) clinics in Cardiff/Bristol/London. (We're in SE Wales).

I think asking for 30% of takings is not a fair amount. I know a physiotherapist who gives a salon 30% and they asked their botox person for the same. The thing is 30% of £30 is £9, but 30% of £300 is £90! Out of the £300, the practitioner has costs of around £170 so in a sense you are asking them to earn £40 whilst you get £90. How is it you see this as fair?
The cost of botox is expensive anyway, but added to this you have consumables, travel plus insurance costs to take into consideration. If the nurse is not a prescriber then they also have a consultation fee to pay which could be anything between £15 - £30 going to the doctor.
So either 30% of profits or around 15% of takings is more reasonable. Generally around here it is either 10 - 20% of takings or a referral fee of £25 - £30.
I see both sides of this discussion, but if you have many rooms and someone uses it you are getting money for an otherwise empty room. If you have just one room then why not offer the service at a time when you are either not busy or not working in the room that day? There are ways of working around all situations.
If however, you cannot reach a compromise why not just refer people on to them for a set fee and not let them use your room or alternatively just don't offer it as a service?
As a personal opinion there is no way I would give away £90 to a salon if I was coming away with £40, especially if I had been to university to study medicine for 5 years, paid out for private training courses and had many years experience of injecting botox.
I hope you all come to a suitable conclusion.

I do 20% with out nurse. I think it could seem like a fortune they are taking but i know that its not cheap to actually do, consultation costs to call in the drug from a GP, The actual botox costs then any insurances.
