At Curl Me Crazy, we recognize the importance of using high-quality professional hair care products to deliver brilliant results. We source our products from reliable suppliers who offer eco-friendly and cruelty-free products.

The primary distribution channel for our service delivery will be our salon. In addition to walk-in customers, we will offer an online appointment feature on our webpage and app. We will also explore partnerships with other beauty service apps, extending our reach.
Promotion and Advertising
Initial promotional activities will be concentrated on drawing customers to our salon. We will offer a 20% discount for first-time customers and a referral program that provides a 10% discount if an existing customer refers a new one. Advertising would be carried out through local newspapers, digital platforms, and billboard promotions.
Customer Service Policies
We operate on a 'Customer First' principle. Our front desk will be trained to address customer needs proactively and promptly.

In conclusion, with the projected revenue growth and controlled operational costs, Curl Me Crazy is all set to carve a space for itself in the competitive hair salon market while maintaining financial sustainability.
Curl Me Crazy anticipates several potential risks in its journey to being an accomplished hair salon business. However, we also have several mitigation strategies and contingency plans developed to navigate them successfully.
Understanding that risks are inevitable, Curl Me Crazy has in place a robust contingency plan covering all facets of our business.

Our insurance forecast includes extensive coverages that include liability insurance, covering bodily injuries or property damage, workers' compensation insurance to cover medical treatment and disability in case of an employee injury, and property insurance to cover any damage to our business property, lastly, business interruption insurance to cover lost income and continue operating expenses in the event of a disaster causing business disruption.
In the legal area, we will engage with a law firm to guide on all legal compliances required for our salon business. Legal considerations include complying with health and safety laws, employment laws, licensing laws, and applicable tax laws.

Our comprehensive risk analysis, best practice mitigation strategies, contingency plans, and an all-embracing insurance cover ensure that we stand resilient in the face of any challenge.

Start your own hair and beauty salon business plan
Executive summary executive summary is a brief introduction to your business plan. it describes your business, the problem that it solves, your target market, and financial highlights.">, opportunity.
There is a need for a full-service beauty salon dedicated to consistently providing high customer satisfaction by rendering excellent service, quality products, and furnishing an enjoyable atmosphere at an acceptable price/value relationship.
We plan to supply services and products that enhance our clients’ physical appearance and mental relaxation.
We will be targeting male and female clients who are fashion conscious and have disposable income. Our clients are mostly women, but we will make sure to include men who fit the criteria as well
There are a number of salons like ours, but they are mainly in the very high income parts of MyTown and surrounding areas. We do not intend to compete with these so called “Day Spas.” We wish to offer a middle ground for those clients who can’t quite afford those high-end luxury salons.
Trend Setters will, upon commencement of operations, sell a wide range of beauty services and products. We will provide quality hair, nail, and skin services, along with top lines of beauty products. What will set Trend Setters apart from the competition is our commitment to providing all of these services in one convenient location.
The forecast shows small profits leveling out in the third year. We believe this is realistic, even conservative. Of course we will be watching actual results on a monthly basis, and revising the forecast as necessary.
Financing needed.
We plan on needing $60K owner’s investment and getting a $50K vendor financing to purchase equipment.
Starting costs include $50K cash cushion, $9K starting expenses before launch, and $53K tangible assets at launch.
Problem worth solving.
There is a demand for high fashion haircuts, manicures, and pedicures at reasonable prices. Men and women should not need to sacrifice their essentials to get a treatment that makes them feel good about themselves.
Trend Setters is a full-service beauty salon dedicated to consistently providing high customer satisfaction by rendering excellent service, quality products, and furnishing an enjoyable atmosphere at a reasonable price/value relationship. We will also maintain a friendly, fair, and creative work environment, which respects diversity, ideas, and hard work.
Market size & segments.
The market is our town, middle class, mostly women, so largely moms, working moms, and singles.
We’re not doing formal market research because we know this market pretty well and we’re comfortable with market prospects in our town. We’ve been in this business for decades now. If we execute right, our customers will come in as we bring in our beauticians and barbers.
We’re well aware of a lot of competition, existing salons, all over town. We are not going to try to compete with the expensive spa salons around, with visibly fancy locations; and we are going to look nicer and price above the less fashionable strip mall and in-home options.
We’re not pretending to be unique. We intend to bring in loyal customers because we are good people, easy to work with, good at what we do, friendly, and helpful.
Trend Setters wants to set itself apart from other beauty salons that may offer only one or two types of services. Having come from such a salon, Curley has realized, from talking with her clients, that they desire all of the services that we are proposing, but they remain frustrated because they must get their hair done at one place, and nails done at another. Although the focus of Trend Setters is hair services, we do wish to offer our clients the convenience of these other services in one location.
There are a number of salons like ours, but they are mainly in the very high-income parts of MyTown and surrounding areas. We do not intend to compete with these so-called "Day Spas." We wish to offer a middle ground for those clients who can’t quite afford those high-end luxury salons.
Our business atmosphere will be a relaxing one where clients can kick back and be pampered. Soft drinks will be offered to clients as they enter for service. Televisions will be located in the waiting and hair-drying area.
The keys to success in our business are:
Marketing plan.
We anticipate regular steady social media presence, in Facebook and Twitter. Our experience has shown that social media is the best advertising for this type of business. We will, however, run specials occasionally. We will also ask clients for social media referrals, and reward them with discounted or free services depending on the number of clients they bring. We will also offer discounts to the new clients who have been referred.
We expect income to increase steadily over the next three years, as the reputation of the salon, its stylists and services become apparent to the general public. Second year revenues also anticipate the addition of one new stylist.
The salon will be located in a retail strip mall at 1234 Stylish Road, MyTown. The salon will utilize 1,540 square feet. The location is strategically situated on one of the busiest streets in MyTown. It is a high profile area, with easy access from all parts of town.

Key assumptions.
Expenses by month, net profit (or loss) by year, use of funds.
We estimate initial purchase of $50,000 in equipment plus $1,000 for starting inventory and $2,000 for other current assets (supplies mostly) and $9,000 in initial loss for expenses incurred before launch. These include legal, location fix-up, early marketing expenses, branding, logo, and social media.
We also estimate needing $50,000 cash cushion when we start.
Total starting costs, therefore, are $9K in expenses plus $103,000 in assets including $53,000 tangible assets and $50,000 cash in the bank.
We anticipate $60,000 in owner investment from owner savings, which shows up as paid-in capital in the initial balance; plus a 5-year $50,000 vendor/manufacturer loan to finance initial equipment.

Discover the world’s #1 plan building software
All salon owners must have a good salon business plan.
There’s no getting around that.
Poor planning is the number one reason hair and beauty salons fail.
We all know this, but how come so many salon owners start their businesses without a business plan?
Creating a business plan may seem daunting. Salon owners I meet procrastinate over their plans because they think they need to be a massive 50-page document with many details.
But it doesn’t need to be that long.
It can be one page.
A one-page business plan is usually more helpful and effective than an old-school 50-page document.
If you’re clear on where to take your salon business, you can create it in just a few hours.
In today’s article, I’ll show you exactly how you can create a focused and powerful salon business plan. You can also download a salon business plan PDF and Doc template at the end of the article to get you started.
Are you ready?
A business plan summarizes how your salon will function and clarifies why it will be successful. It provides a roadmap with goals and milestones to guide your salon to success.
You need a salon business plan to get in control of your beauty business and make the right decisions upfront. A well-laid-out plan gives you a clear path to follow as you set out, while it also helps spot weaknesses in your salon business early. You also need a salon business plan to communicate with others. If you need to raise money, the bank or investor will want to see your salon business plan before issuing funds.
Not having a business plan for your salon would be like building a house without drawings. This is obvious when thinking about a house, but for some reason, it’s often de-prioritized or forgotten by salon owners, which is why salons go bankrupt.
But don’t worry.
Today, you’ll learn how to write a salon business plan using the free template you can download at the end of this article.
We’ll soon review all the parts we need to define in your plan. But as we do this, we also need to ensure we have ways to measure the results.
If you don’t have a way to track and measure how your business performs vs. the goals and assumptions you define as part of your plan, you’ll operate blind, and you will not take the actions you need to get your business to the place we are trying to define with the plan.
This is why you should invest in powerful salon software that offers rich support for reporting and tracking the key targets you have set for your business.
The video below walks you through what reports look like in Mangomint – the software I recommend if you’re serious about your business.
Having access to this data in a simple way will be a game changer to the success of your plan. You can learn more about Mangomint and if it is right for you here .
There are 10 critical components that should be included in any salon business plan:
A summary of why a salon exists, what the goal of the salon is, and how this goal is achieved. | |
The unresolved problem that your customers face that your salon will be addressing. | |
How will you attract new clients to your salon and get your existing ones to come more frequently and spend more at each visit? | |
How your salon business addresses the problem and creates value for your clients. | |
All costs associated with starting and running your salon. | |
Your ideal salon client and size of the local market. | |
Competitor salons in your area and their activities. | |
Your salon staff and business partners will help you achieve your plan and their roles. | |
Your salon staff and business partners will help you achieve your plan and their roles. | |
Critical achievements and targets that you need to complete or reach by a specified time for your salon to be successful. |
This table gives you an overview of the components you’ll need in your plan. In this article, I’ll go through each one in detail.
You can write your plan in any format you like. A regular Microsoft Word document is a common format, but you could also do it in Excel or PowerPoint.
I’d strongly encourage you to try to fit your business plan onto one page, at least for your first plan.
You’ll need a separate Excel spreadsheet for your financial budget and detailed milestones. However, keeping the overall business plan on one page will make this the most helpful salon business plan you can create.
Complexity means distracted effort. Simplicity means focused effort. Edward de Bono
If you can keep the plan to one page, you’ll:
We’ve arrived at the exciting part.
It’s time to start drafting your salon business plan. During the rest of this article, I’ll walk you through each heading in your salon business plan outline. I’ll explain each part and provide an example you can adapt to fit your plan.
Don’t just read through this part. Get a pen and paper out and jot down all ideas that come to mind. You’ll find these notes helpful later.
A salon mission statement is a summary of why your salon exists, what the goal of the salon is, and how this goal is achieved. It is the first thing you and others who read your plan see and should be visible at the top of your one-page salon business plan.
Everyone who works with and for you should understand and embrace your salon’s mission. It unites your salon team.
A good salon mission statement should capture the unique essence of why your salon exists. It sets the direction of your salon business. It should be the north star you look at when making all decisions for your salon. It’s typically one paragraph with one or two sentences.
It’s not easy to write a salon mission statement. Or, it’s easy to write it, but it’s not easy to boil down the overall essence of your salon in a couple of sentences. If you want to dive deeper into how to write a truly inspiring salon mission statement, I suggest you read my separate article about it here .
“Our mission is to provide a friendly, personalized service through a team of highly skilled and creative professionals. Teamwork is our most valuable asset which ensures our clients are always number one, and we strive to exceed your expectations”.
This is just one example to get your thinking going. To get more inspiration on how you can craft your salon mission statement, I’ve created a list of mission statements used by salons today . Not all are perfect, but you’ll find some highly inspirational ones in there.
All successful businesses exist to address a problem that other people have. For example, I’ve written this blog post because I know there are people like you who need to get a business plan written for their salon but do not know where to start.
But what problem does your salon solve?
This is worth taking a few moments to think about. Because if you don’t have an obvious problem to solve, this is a sign of weakness in your plan. And that you need to adapt how you plan to approach your salon business.
It for sure doesn’t mean that there’s no room for your new salon. It just means you must re-focus your salon on a specific client segment or niche.
Nailing down what your clients’ problems are upfront can guide your salon to success you wouldn’t have been able to spot otherwise.
“Women have less and less time to spend on theirselves. At the same time, the demands they place on their appearance continuously to go up. They want that healthy looking hair, perfect brows and nails that look stunning every day. But there’s just not room in their calendar to fit all these appointments in.”
If your salon is based in a business district in a city area, this could very well be a problem that a big part of your potential clients faces.
What would you say is the problem people face in the area where your salon is (or will be) located?
Now that you know what problem your clients face, it’s time to work out how you’re going to solve the problem. The solution is what you’ll offer in your salon and how you’ll offer it.
Your salon menu is at the core of your offer. The services you have on your menu should be inspired by your clients’ problems that you’re trying to solve. For salon service ideas you may want to add to your salon price list you can check out my other article here .
Retail products is another part of your offer that should complement the services in a way that helps address your client’s problem.
Your solution is not only about the services and products you provide but also how you provide them. What’s the experience you offer in the salon? How are you pricing your services? Do you need to book in advance or do you offer drop-in? Do you sell retail products online?
I recommend checking out my video on designing your service menu below.
Your service menu may be identical to that of other salons in your area. But if you offer a different experience at a different price, you can still fill a gap in the market and address a problem that people have.
Let’s take the problem example above – where women in your area have too little time to get all the beauty services they’d like. Your salon solution could then be something like the below:
“We offer set packages of hair cut & color with waxing and nail services included. You’ll receive all services at the same time so that you get everything done in under 90 minutes.”
I want to reinforce that how you offer your service does not necessarily need to be in a completely out-of-the-box and new way for you to stand out. It can be by simply doing things better than what your competition is doing.
For example, by placing a bigger emphasis on the customer experience than anyone else. That people feel better treated and have a higher level of customer service than they get anywhere else. In my opinion, this is probably the best way to differentiate yourself today.
The software you use can play a big role by automating some while still keeping it personal. For example, we allow all our clients to text us at any time. This direct access is very valuable to clients but can be a mess if we don’t have the right technology to support it.
We run this with the two-way texting feature of Mangomint . It allows us to have client text at any time and messages can be directed within the team and you get a full overview of all client communication (like all automated reminders as well as when people in the team jumps in).
This is just one example of how you can use technology to ramp up your client service level and stand out in your area. Mangomint is quite unique here with several features designed to improve the experience you create with clients. If client experience is important to you and your business, you can learn more about how they do it here .
Your salon needs to make money..
..or it will not exist very long.
But there are many ways that a salon can make money and profit – it’s not just about service sales (even if that’s typically the bigger part of it).
How you generate income should be summarized in the salon revenue model section of your business plan.
I’ve created a separate article for you where I go through what the typical salon revenue model looks like here . In the same article, you’ll also find 6 different revenue models that you can implement to grow your business further.
Let’s go through the most common ways salons make money. I’ll then give an example of how you can outline your salon revenue model in your business plan.
Salon’s primary income comes from service revenue. For the average US hair salon, this accounts for about 92% of the income generated. On top of that, a small portion of income is generated from retail sales (8%).
But there are several other ways a salon can make money: service revenue, retail sales, and professional education – just to name a few.
Overview of the common income streams for a hair salon
Example of a Salon Revenue Model
Let’s continue using the salon in the busy business district and the example.
“The beauty salon will make money by offering full service packages to business women working in the area with high income but limited time. Retail products will be part of the pre-defined packages and make up 25% of total salon turn over. The services packages will be offered on a subscription program or sold separately at a premium price.”
Subscription-based programs for salons and spas, like the one above, are growing in popularity. These programs can create much more stability in your business, as you know what income you’ll have in the months ahead.
If you’re already using Mangomint , it’s easy to set up multiple membership programs like this (see screenshot below). Just define what should be included and how often your client should be charged. So you cannot blame not offering this on technology anymore 🙂
Your salon will generate not only income but also expenses. Your bigger cost pools should be reflected in your salon business plan. Let’s look at some examples of what they could be.
The biggest monthly expenses a salon has are:
The exact costs will vary from salon to salon depending on location, the number of staff, and the business model you choose.
Tip: To estimate what your salon insurance cost will be you can read my salon owner’s guide to insurance costs here .
Common costs when starting a salon are:
For a more detailed picture of salon startup costs, you can read my article where I walk through all the costs of starting a salon here .
Given salon equipment can be high, I’vs also put together a list of hair salon equipment that you’ll need when you open a hair salon here .
Another resource you may find helpful is also my list of salon software and other tools you may need to start your business .
“Wages will be the biggest cost element (40%) and secondly the rent (25%) in the busy business district. Salon profit margin target is 20% of total turnover.”
Do you know how many people live or work in the area where you salon is (or will be) located? And do you know how many of those that fit in the relevant target group for your salon?
These will be important numbers to know as you’re choosing the location of your salon and crafting your plan and salon concept.
It’s impossible to please everyone. If you try to make your salon relevant for everyone you’ll end up not being relevant for anyone. So define who your ideal salon client is and estimate what the size is of that market.
That is, how many people fall in to your client category and how much are they ready to spend on beauty services. This will make up your target market.
When you speak to everyone, you speak to no one Meredith Hill
I’ll continue to use the same example salon as before.
“The salon offers express beauty package services to business women, aged 24-55, working in the financial district. There are 5’000 women in the target group that are working on walking distance of the salon. The women spend on average $100 per month on beauty services. The total relevant market is estimated to $6 million per year. “
Do you know how many other salons there are in the area where you have your salon (or are planning to open a salon in)?
It’s obvious.
The more salons there are in the area compared to the people living or working there, the tougher competition will be.
But fierce competition doesn’t necessarily mean it’s impossible for you to be successful.
You’ll, however, need to study your competition closely. What services do they offer? How are their salons positioned?
When you’re clear on what your competitors are doing, you can define what should be your unique points of difference. Armed with that, you can take your piece of the pay. Or even make the pie of customers bigger if you’re bringing something that no one else is offering in the area that will attract new clients who were not previously going to salons.
“There are 5 other beauty salon in the area. Two hairdressers, one barbershop, one nail salon, and a spa. However, no one offers the complete services packages that we will offer. Given the search for convenience and fast services is high, we expect we can take one third of the market over the coming two year. As total market is $6 million, this would mean $2 million market for us.”
It doesn’t matter how good you are at your craft if people don’t know your salon exists.
But marketing is more than activities that attract new clients to your salon . It can influence all the 7 ways you can grow your salon business .
But where do you start? There are so many salon marketing activities you could put in place.
The choice of salon marketing activities to implement depends on your salon’s challenges. If you need to build salon clientele fast , you should focus on that. If you need to get your existing clients to come more often, you should focus on that.
In this section of your business plan, you need to make those choices and decide on the activities you need to do to set your salon up for success.
Let’s review what you should consider and provide an example of what this could look like in your salon business plan.
Now that you know who your ideal client is and how many there are in your area. It’s time to lay out the marketing activities that you’ll focus on.
There are A LOT of things you can do regarding marketing. I have curated a list of the most effective salon marketing activities you can implement here.
But you cannot do all the salon marketing ideas in this list.
Instead, pick 5 now.
And make sure you can do them well.
You can always come back later to try out more things. I would be surprised if your salon marketing plan doesn’t include creating your salon brand , building a salon website , and a social media strategy for your salon
But hey, you decide 🙂
“Our salon will not be located on the high street with a lot of people walking by and noticing us. This is why are marketing effort will be focused on running targeted Facebook advertizing to women working in the area with an attractive intro offer. We’ll also focus on local PR in the area as well as our salon Instagram where we will promote the salon in partnership with local activities.
Are you starting your salon alone or together with a partner?
Do you need to hire key people to help you launch your salon business?
Is your salon part of a franchise?
It’s quite likely that your salon will depend on other people and organizations in some way or form. You should reflect this in this section of your salon business plan. Remember to specify the role of each person involved in your business.
“The salon will be owned by John & Lisa and will operated with four employees from start: two hair stylists, one nail technician, and one aesthetician specialized on skin care services. The salon will also allow for booth rentals and allow two stylists to rent a chair when the salon has opened. A highly skilled and motivated salon team will be at the core of the business which is why we will invest over 4% of net sales in team capability.”
Setting up a salon business is not a small project. A lot of things need to be done.
You need to obtain the required salon licenses , get salon business insurance , find a salon location , buy salon equipment , market yourself to new salon clients , etc., etc.
It’s frankly overwhelming to think about all the things you need to do next. It’s like a big dark cloud of things that needs to get done. But where do you start?
You need to break down this dark cloud into achievable milestones and goals. Then tackle them one by one.
If you don’t break down these massive projects into smaller tasks, you’ll either get stressed out or start to procrastinate and not get anything done instead.
This is why you need to outline your major milestones and goals.
It’s an exercise that will take a bit of time, but it’s also the most important one. It will help you significantly as you get started, and it will give confidence to investors or other people looking at your salon business plan that what you’re setting out to do is realistic.
Your milestones can be a mix of financial goals and specific activities you must complete by a certain time. Try to include all the bigger things that need to be done from now until your salon is up and running and is meeting your break-even target.
You can make this as sophisticated as you want. I would encourage you to get quite detailed here with specific and concrete steps outlined in an excel file. However, for the sake of the business plan, you can keep it to a bullet-point list of the major achievements and goals.
Obtain all required salon licenses by May 1st Secure startup funding by May 15th Identify a salon location by June 1st Register the LLC by June 15th Complete salon renovation work by July 15th Get first paying customer by July 15th Hire first employee by August 1st Make first $3,000 in sales by September 1st Reach break even target by January 1st
You can keep your plan at a high level in your plan but, again, you’ll need to break it down even more thoroughly in a separate document with exact financial targets to meet by a certain point in time.
Congratulations!

Many people think that beauty salons are a cliché business, we have many of them already, but why? Because our society lives on stress, it is always stressed out and salons are convenient kind of retreats.
They are relaxing environments providing great customer services, stressed people go there to be taken care of. That is the magic of it, beauty salons will always have demand, there is no going back on this hectic world. People love to be taken care of, women love having great colored nails done and men love having perfect hands and beards.

The objective is to have an added value, to be different, to have that something that makes people think about it. Will your business atmosphere be relaxing? Will soft drinks be offered to the clients or as they enter the store or until they sit down to get the service? Will you have televisions? Separate rooms depending on the service? To develop great business strategies, it is recommended to perform a SWOT analysis to make the right decision.
What are some of the keys to success?
Convenience:, reputation:.
Considering the list above, it is of extreme importance to vary, not to only offer one thing, but to have a range of products and services so the clients find everything they need in the same place, in your oasis.

Even though there are many beauty salons, there are different types depending on the target. Some for example, are for men, other for women, other for both and so on... and as I stated before, even though the idea of having a beauty salon is there, people have to do a profound analysis on the message, on what do they want to communicate to others.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR SALON TO SAY?"

For some hair and beauty salon business , when a client leaves with a new look, THAT is marketing. Some say their client wears the marketing and that is why most of a the clients of a beauty salon are referrals from existing clients.
It is important to note that research has shown that word of mouth is the best advertising for this type of business. Although as everything, it depends on many factors.
And here we go... the tough part, excel sheets. What is the financial goal? Is it to be a profitable business in the first month? To have a break-even in the 6th month? Number time! This is where you write down everything. Fixed costs, variable costs, every single thing that will involve money.
A sales forecast is extremely important. People need to have expectations on income even if they're only approximate. This is so managers know how much are will they be able to spend during the years and what will be the project that gives the hair and beauty salon profits.

Before opening a beauty salon, a business plan is a critical and essential tool. A solid business plan not only assists entrepreneurs in focusing on the particular procedures required to see their business ideas through to completion, but it also assists them in achieving short- and long-term goals. A business plan is an essential tool for making decisions. It also includes information on the procedures to take, the resources needed to achieve your business objectives, and a schedule for expected outcomes.
A hair salon can be a steady, profitable business, but you’ll need a solid business strategy and planning before you launch one. A beauty business plan provides you with a thorough grasp of the existing salon market in your location, including its size, growth rate, and trends. This will assist you in determining how you will compete with rival salons.
A beauty salon can be a stable and profitable business, but you’ll need a solid business strategy and planning before you launch one. If you’re thinking about starting a salon, this process is critical. Aside from the variety of free templates provided above, you can also create one of your own from scratch. Here are some great tips that comprises a business plan that you should consider:
This is a great place to start if you’re just learning how to create a beauty salon. Decide on your target audience, research them, and evaluate the competitors. The findings of your investigation will reveal which services are in high demand and which are in short supply. It will also assist you in defining your concept and distinguishing the services that your salon is capable of providing.
Make sure you’re following all of the state’s rules and regulations. The laws and regulations differ depending on where you reside and the type of salon you plan to start. A salon that only provides hair services, for example, will require different permits than a salon that also provides facials or massages.
Your salon’s idea encompasses more than just the interior design and services you provide. When starting a similar business, you should be inventive. Consider the color of your employees’ uniforms, if any, and how they will greet clients while developing the concept. That’s why you should start with research and analysis of your target audience and competitors. Before launching a salon business, you should be certain of the type you want. As a result, you’ll be able to come up with new ideas.
Your clients and their experience should be at the top of your priority list as a salon owner. This will result in repeat clients who will eventually establish a dependable customer base.
A business plan is used to assist in the management of an organization by establishing goals, how they will be accomplished, and when they will be achieved. The strategy will also serve as a summary of the company’s mission, why it exists, and where it intends to go.
