Chair rent advice Blackpool

[RedsBlackpool]

Hi all, I am a new member after taking a break from Beauty, I'm looking at taking a Hairdressing salon on in Blackpool and wondered if anyone could give me some advice please. I am exploring chair rental as an option for hairdresser and nail table. Can any one give me an idea of what they would expect to pay daily/weekly for a chair rental agreement. As this is a new area for me I don't have the contacts to ask so its making market research a bit harder. Thanks in advance

i'm in the same boat as you just in scotland.
i've been offered a room for £50 a day, but at the moment i only do Hair Extensions and hair styling/blowdrys.

want to do nails and its a great opportunity but scared it's going to crash and burn. hard when you have no contacts in the industry anymore

@alanaabdn to me £50 a day is really reasonable but I'm basing that on other areas i've lived, when you don't know the norm for the area its hard to know which way to go. I will be the landlord so i'm wanting to price reasonably but I also have an amount I need to be hitting to make it financially viable. Will the landlord phase you in with rent to help you grow? how many treatments a day would you need to do to break even on your daily costs? I'm a big feel the fear and do it anyway type of person but its still not easy making the big leaps.

I'd have to do one head of hair extensions per day to cover the cost of the room,

I'll obviously be adding on treatments to that but i need to have the pennies to go and do the training for them first and i need to furnish the room too. it's amazing for me cause I'll get to run it the way i like and the room is mine.

honestly £50 a day isn't bad, but that is for the room, and use of the backwash. that's pretty much it.

i'd say set your rates and maybe offer start up incentives

Thank you, good luck with yours. It's all so exciting and terrifying at the same time. It seems from reading the other threads one treatment a day towards rent seems pretty normal. Both me and my partner are Self employed so there is no nice regular wage coming in to keep that comfort zone of affording all the bills and no big buffer of savings makes it all a bit tight. Thank you for your thoughts its been helpful.
