A quick definition of dermaplaning
provided by the Cleveland Clinic:
“Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for your skin. Your healthcare provider uses a special instrument to shave away the uppermost layers of your skin.
“Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin. It can make your skin look younger; though, it doesn’t stop the aging process. Some people also get dermaplaning for hair removal. This is only a temporary fix because your hair will grow back.
“Most people get the procedure on their face, but you can do it anywhere on your body.”
The most common reasons to get this service are:
- Scars from acne.
- Scaly skin patches.
- Dull or dry skin.
- Peach fuzz (downy hair on the face).
- Skin damaged by too much sun exposure.
Can you afford a salon of your own?
Whether you take over an existing salon, or open a new one in a rental location, the national average cost of opening a salon is between $60,000 and $100,000. And the first step in the process is finding the right location, which will require considering these factors:
- Average cost of rent for the location where you wish to put down roots, along with any additional costs such as upkeep of common areas, utilities, and taxes. Consult with an experienced commercial real estate agent to make sure you don’t get blindsided by unforeseen expenses.
- Demographics, interests, and disposable income of the community where you want to open a salon.
- Stability of the local economy. Is it seasonal and tourist-dependent, or will business remain consistent throughout the year?
- Accessibility of business resources and groups in the community that can help you network, build referrals, and promote your business.
- Neighborhood safety – you want your salon to be in an area with good nighttime lighting, including in parking areas.
- Aesthetics of the area, meaning whether your salon image will fit within the local community.
- Number of competitor salons in the area.
- Access to ample parking and public transportation for you and your guests, along with convenient delivery for your suppliers. Also, consider how far away the location is from your home, as you’ll be spending a lot of time there in the startup stages.
- Foot traffic in the area – will people see your salon as they walk by, or is it hidden from view?
- Neighboring businesses – are they complementary? Will they attract your desired clientele?
- The facility itself – is it too large, too small, or just right? Will the layout work for your needs?
- On-site storage – you’ll need a place to keep supplies, whether in the salon or in a separate storage area.
- Condition of the building itself – does it need any repairs? Will the landlord take care of these fixes before you move in?
Discouraged yet? We can hear you screaming, “I don’t have that kind of cash. I will never be able to own my own salon!”
Of course you can!
The secret? Start small! Instead of leasing a salon building and then having to hire employees for your salon, simply rent a salon suite, a single room, and operate a one-person dermaplaning salon. The cost is considerably less, as in a couple of thousand per month rather than ten thousand or more per month. This is the business model, which is sweeping the nation, the only salon business model which is affordable to average Americans who are not blessed with a huge inheritance, the ones who have worked hard all of their lives but have very little to show for it. This business model is for you!
