Do I need salon experience?
Not necessarily. The right level of industry experience depends on the concept, operating structure and how involved you plan to be in daily operations. We can discuss your background and goals during an introductory conversation.
Do I have to use the Salon Express name?
No. Qualified operators may explore a Salon Express branded opportunity, while other clients may choose white-label salon development or independent launch consulting.
Can you help me find a location?
Location-search assistance and site evaluation can be included in the scope of a project. We can help you consider visibility, access, parking, competition, demographics and the needs of your concept.
Can you help with the salon interior?
Yes. Support can include space planning, customer flow, furniture and equipment selection, design coordination, signage and buildout planning.
Can you set up our POS and booking system?
Technology planning may include POS, payments, appointment booking, customer management, reporting, business phone and related systems.
Can you build our website and handle marketing?
Branding, website development, local search, social media, advertising, promotions and launch campaigns can be included depending on the project. Ongoing marketing support may also be available.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
Investment and timelines vary by market, space, lease, construction, equipment, licensing, staffing and concept. After learning about your project, we can help organize the likely cost categories and build a practical project plan.
