Salary for the year: from $ 75 000

Your own beauty salon - the children's dream of many girls. In the US, this business can make good money if you are really willing to work. After all, almost every resident of America from 9 to 99 years "brings beauty" at least a couple of times a month.

There is an 3 option to start this business: open a salon from scratch, inventing a unique concept, buy a franchise business, receive a full guide to action from its owners, or purchase a valid salon. Of course, the first option is the most difficult, but also interesting at the same time. It took Inna Tsalkovic more than 20 years to complete the journey from assistant hairdresser to the highest level master and opening her own salon, which in 2015 was named the best in Manhattan.

Inna moved to New York in 1996, along with her husband and small child. She immediately took an educational loan and went to study at the beauty school. The course cost $ 10 000 and included hairdressing, cosmetology and manicure. During training, the girl worked in the salon as an assistant to the master, but very quickly began to go forward along the career ladder. She constantly improved her skills.

“I graduated from the world-famous Wella brand school and the Bumble and Bumble school, countless trainings and master classes. A self-respecting master cannot do otherwise, because self-education comes first in our work. You need to be aware of the latest trends and cosmetic products, fashion trends. Of course, I invested a lot in my training, but I also always had many satisfied clients. But making a person beautiful isn’t happiness?” shares Inna.

Having changed all 3 jobs in New York, after 20 years ambassador of the beginning of a career, Inna and her husband opened a salon in Manhattan in a popular district of Soho. The girl's husband was engaged in marketing and advertising, and Inna took up work with clients and practiced as a hairdresser. The girl remembers that since the salon opened, she began to sleep on 2 hours per day, because their business, like a small child, constantly demanded attention and complete immersion.

“Owning your own salon is a big responsibility and 24/7 work. I had no opportunity to rest or relax. During the day I cut and colored clients, and at night I figured out how we could promote the salon, who to collaborate with, how to become better and better. We worked with the Bloomingdale's clothing chain store and well-known modeling agencies. Among our clients were many artists and famous artists. We constantly held interesting “events”. I remember we even took part in the action and collected financial aid for women from Africa. In other words, we were living the full New York life. I had a goal - to become salon No. 1, and in 2015 we succeeded,” recalls Inna Tsalkovich.

Business justified itself and financially. According to the girl, the saloon turnover reached $ 250-300 thousand per year.

“Since I spent a lot of time with clients, the question “why is it so expensive?” set my teeth on edge. Clients constantly asked me why they should pay $2-3 for 200-300 hours of work. I agree, this is a considerable amount, but no one thinks about the fact that hairdressers and other salon workers work on commission, salons do not pay them for health insurance, vacation, etc. Masters constantly spend their hard-earned money on training and “invest” in their knowledge. Moreover, being a hairdresser is a physically demanding job, and after a day of work my back and legs hurt terribly,” shares Inna.

As the girl clarified, the owner of the salon works with their masters on a commission basis - the specialist receives 30-60% of the revenue he brought. The rest takes the salon. In some cases, the master simply rents a seat in the cabin, but this format is less common. In this case, the director of the salon pays all household expenses, buys cosmetics and is engaged in marketing.

Inna and her husband sold the salon after she had health problems and moved to Florida. Today, Inna practices in one of the Boca Raton salons.
