My favorite part of this video is when you mentioned that it doesn’t have to start off perfect and that our clients love to be a part of watching us grow.
Mine too!! It made me want to relax a little more lol
Same, 😂
This video was so informative and inspiring! I’ve been at a salon for almost 5 years now and still don’t feel like I can create in the capacity of my dreams while working for someone else’s. I am so nervous to go out on my own but in light of recent circumstances I have found the right push to pursue my own happiness! I know I am successful and talented enough to successfully go out on my own. I let fear hold me back! So excited to start my new adventure!! ❤️
I open my back on September, I love it ! Sometimes can be challenging but I really recommend to do this 😊
you have been so helpful and thank you so much! i just entered cosmetology school and want my own business now because i had a 9-5 before and i didn't like that i had no control over my life and schedule, thank you again for your helpful tips, i will definitely use them
Great video and tips! Your making more ready to start my journey.
Thank you for all of this help. I just moved to a new city right before covid! I’m opening a suite and I love learning from you ❤️
Stephanie Cencibaugh omg the timing!! I hope you still believe it is possible to do well!! Because you can! Thank you for this comment❤️
I loved hearing this! I’m moving to a sola as well and everything you have said helped me to stop panicking about starting. I’ve been worried to get a loan and this has helped me tremendously. Thank you so much

I am just getting ready to start cosmetology school and I have already contacted my Sola Salon to get the ball rolling. I already know that I want my own place from the get-go. I love Sola's options and in my area they are really not that expensive.
You deserve way more subscribers. I always feel like I come away from your videos with tangible advice.

You're amazing for helping us newbies make a list before getting started. You mentioned booking system well I found one called Gloss Genius have you heard of it before? Thank you again
I love your advice I just wish there was something like this in Australia! I'm looking at starting my own salon that is a combination of hair and beauty services but have no clue where to start ugh!!!
I would try finding a suite medical building that you can make into a little salon! That is what I ended up doing and lvoedddd it
this is a great video. im opening my very own studio in a month and excited but so nervous
Yay!! That is so exciting!! A little nerves are good! Hope everything goes well and feel free to reach out if you need help!
Do your research about the different Suite options.Sola will be your best option.
Wow what’s the update is it like u envision?
Hi, love watching u, I’ve been doing hair dressing for over 20 years now, and decided to rent a chair, which I have a good clientele base. Would my own salon now, nothing to big, sooo nervous about it as I don’t know where to start, I do have dyslexia so when it comes to thinking of starting I’m finding it pretty scary, I want to get a business loan but need a business plan. I love what I do and love my clients, family and friends keep telling me to go for it, I’m 50 years of age now and I feel I really do have to give it a go xx
You can do it!! Everything always works out, go for it! X
Just a quick tip, you are facing a window that has light reflecting on you glass frame and it's hard to see your eye's. It would also be helpful to have a split screen on your left so you can list in bullet form on a sheet the points you make. And lastly, I love that you said "Start small &save money & improve the salon as your business grow's so clients can see you expand"....Rozz..Brisbane....Australia
I just graduated from Empire and it’s been what I wanted to do since I started because my dad owns his own automotive shop which I grew up around since seven years old I know the business aspect of things
Awesome!
Hey from an expat living overseas in El Salvador for now. I’m a stylist with an instructor license in VA and I am also a teacher/professor expert in Second Language Acquisition. I’ve had a salon/spa for four years and we (mate and myself) are considering moving back to the States and starting my own salon and/or academy (geared towards empowering young minority girls to find their passion in our art). To start back up in the States I’m thinking that I need to start with something like this! Love your videos, I’ve just found you today and I’m binge watching!! How can I get in contact with you for more guidance? Thinking of NY, Philly or Washington DC
Yes please make a video about salon technology
Emily Richardson technology? Like booking systems? Or do you mean something else?
Yes, and thank you for responding! I’m wondering about booking apps/software/website, managing clients, and maybe email marketing if you use that?
im actually getting my own sola studio soon and i been going crazy with what else i need to do. and feeling is this tooo early for me to do etc. i was at my shop for 2 years and at the same time im freaking out thinking if im doing the right thing or not , but i been wanting this for myself for the longest now that im taking the step to do it im like freaking out becausae im not sure evertything that i need or if im capable of doing . but seeing this video gave me a little more hope!
Ah so good to hear! You are gonna love having your own space!!
Yes do a vedio on payment system. . I'm just waiting for a space were I live.. I have clients just waiting to open.
Yes, interested in the payment system also.
Very helpful
Hello. I hope you to see this message before I open a salon without a business plan because I have no clue how even start writing it😅
I love doing hair. I stopped after 8 years in 2016 to work in makeup at retail store for 6.5 years. Now I want to start again but it seems overwhelming to do that. 🙄
have you tried the jupiter app for scheduling and forms? I use acuity right now but jupiter seems like its more for beauty industry and has everything in one place. I have figured out how to put my own forms into acuity and to do app reminders.
I haven’t!
I’ve been doing here for 30 years the best advice is to booth rent for at least five years before even thinking about owning a salon. And working alone is a benefit but it’s also a negative because you really stop learning from other stylist around you and that’s how you can grow as well. Seattle is not a difficult place to find a shop for storefront availability I have a storefront spot in a hot neighborhood in the city. Get a business partner or take management classes, many stylus forget that there is a lot more to only the salon than just kidding behind the chair there’s a ton of business that goes along with it which they turned out to be really good at the recommend education in that direction before even thinking about opening a salon
I just started a new business independent and thanks
davines - just one love!❤️
So will acuity app can the client choose multiple services when booking?
Thank you!
I'm having a hard time buying expensive equipment that I can't feel or touch before buying such as a mag light. I need the magnifier for waxing & such, but I also need a ring light for lighting and it gotta be on wheels! I want high quality & I'm willing to invest if I jus had a few more options. Amazon doesn't always work out & I don't have the patience or money to try it, buy it & return! Ugh, don't get me started on how Corona has made it even more difficult. We haven't had any Hair/Cosmo shows in like 2 yrs.
What is a sola salon? I’ve never heard of it?
I just signed a 2 year contract at solar in Georgia
I want to start a studio salon. I like the idea of being independent and using products that I stand by. The only thing that holds me back is the money it takes to start it up and keep it running and my lack of clientele. Dispite that my goal by the end of this year is to be an independent stylist with a booked schedule. It seems impossible right now...but I really want to be my own boss and not be at the mercy of someone else who could fire me for not being "productive" (I work in a corporate salon). It's hard when you move somewhere new and you're trying to build clientele and have management dangling your job in front of you with threats of letting you go because you don't have enough clients in your seat, yet they aren't giving you the hours to be more accommodating to clients. 😨😱
Karatsukino I totally understand your frustrations! When it becomes difficult to serve your clients because of the Salon’s limitations it is very frustrating. That is a great goal to have!
@@LaurenFrancesHair I love what I do and don't want to be limited by others. Some stylist give up for reasons like this and other reasons too. I'm determined to work hard ☺
Love that!!
You can do it! I have the same goal as you and currently work in a new city. We just need to persevere, make goals and strategize.
how has it gone?
How did you manage to pay your self and write that all off, when keeping your business account separate ?
I need help I want to move into a studio but I have lost so much business would it be a good idea ?
Should I have those licenses if I plan on starting a studio salon at home?
Hello and thank you for your work here! If so can you explain how you funded yourself at first? Without going into tons of personal detail. Did you have investors or a loan?
I saved while working a minimum wage job for about 2 years. 🙂
How Can I open a salon with having a cosmetologist degree or certification?
Can i open a studio salon based on only hair colouring ....pls answer me 🙏
The idea of working around a bunch of my competition sounds awful! 😭❤️ My boyfriend really wants to send me to beauty school after I just cut my hair this last time. Layers with a V in the back and some choppy face framing- I’ve been growing my hair out for 15 years and cutting/trimming it myself basically my entire life. One reason aside from the money that I’m afraid to go, is the pressure I already get from my peers to change my hair/let THEM do my hair. 😓
Most stylists I see have no hair themselves!!!! And a friend just did my bf’s mom’s hair and it came out.... (I can’t tell her but I know I really should) TERRIBLE. 😭😭💕 she still gave a huge tip.
Could you do a video about pricing???
Hey click the uploads tap and there are two videos about pricing 👍🏻
I'd love to know the difference between sole proprietor vs LLC in the studio salon world. I'm leasing a space to turn into a studio salon so I'm starting from the ground up. Also, do you have a separate business account or do you use your personal banking account? I don't want to pay unnecessary fees, but I like the idea of separateness. Thank you!
Sorry I didn’t see this one! In my opinion and llc isn’t necessary if it is just you. It basically separates your business assets from your personal. Llc is more paperwork and sometimes fees. What a limited liability does is protect your personal assets in the event of a lawsuit or creditors coming after you. The responsibility is on the business and not you the individual.
As far as your accounts go! I would definitely keep it separate so you can easily look at your earnings and spending. I actually like to use 1 credit card for all business spending and pay it off immediately (i never actually use credit or money i don’t have. I just use it to keep everything in one place and the rewards are a nice perk) with my business checking. ❤️
Do you need an inspection before you open?? How do I find this out bc I'm having a hard time
Yes from state board
Can you spell and link the brand you use for your retail and backbar? I cant figure out how to spell it. Thanks!
Davines ❤️
@@LaurenFrancesHair thank you!
How do you spell the name of the booking system you were saying you used? I'm not sure I'm hearing it correctly.
Ariel M good question! Acuity
@@LaurenFrancesHair Thank you so much! I'm loving your videos BTW! I'm in the process of becoming an independent stylist after doing hair for 9 years! But i'll working out of a friends small salon space, so everything is already set up but its still super scary! I have to basically start over because I'm going to a whole new city and don't feel that many will follow. I'm also in the Seattle area :)
Ariel M omg me too it’s been 7yrs for me I’m just now thinking about getting my own studio
How does a Sola work? Does Sola have a salon in your area and then you run it or how does it work?🙂
Yeah! They have large buildings and the lease little built out spaces!🙂
I just signed for sola! This helps so much thank you so much I love all your videos
Ps I’m also based in Seattle 💗
Hello, I'm currently doing research on Sola Studios. Can you give me details on what you had to do? I saw that they would help you with everything. What do I need to start up as far as money goes? Also, how much is the rent? I know that depends on location. Thank you in advance.
Southernsouldiva Hello, you would have to call you nearest sola you are interested in because they all have different rates and rules
Slay the hair Studio ok thank you so much for replying back.
Can I open a salon with no cosmetology license and renting the chairs to licensed individuals?
All you need is a solid business plan. And of course you can’t do hair but yup!
@@LaurenFrancesHair thank you much! My mother is working in getting her license! And I am excited for her. I am a business person so we fit great together.
In my state, the owner doesn’t have to be licensed, but the manager has to be licensed.
What is your booking app?
Thank you!
I use acuity scheduling! 😊acuityscheduling.com/?kw=YToxNTA0NjczMg%3D%3D
it would be more helpful if you say which basic colors you need to start with .
It doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be legal lol
Lauren.... it is Cosmetology School.... NOT Hair school!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Donna Miranda can’t believe they even let me out of there!
Seriously?😂
@@LaurenFrancesHair I say nail school! When talking about my schooling also
