Introduction
You have won the lottery and will have
the opportunity to open the salon/day spa you have always dreamed of. You have decided on owners and found your
location. The next step will be to
design your layout and select your furniture.
The Task
You will need to decide how much you
want to spend for this project. Look at
the quality of the items and think about the usefulness of the equipment you
are about to purchase. What about
warranties? Be very careful that are
all the parts you need are included in the cost; when looking at styling
chairs, sometimes you are paying for the chair and the base may not be
included. Think about the colors,
design or theme for your salon.
Remember when customers enter they will have a first impression.
The Process
1. Read and
review the State Board of Cosmetology Salon Application.
2. Determine the
equipment needed to operate your salon and show it’s location on the layout
provided in the salon application.
3. Draw the
company’s organizational structure.
(Illustrate an organizational structure, Skills USA VICA, PDP Level 4.5)
4.Check the
State Board of Cosmetology Rules & Regulation-Physical Requirements Of A
Beauty Shop, Section 7.71-7.79. Does
your salon meet all the requirements?
5. Use the
following list of distributors select equipment and list the prices for each piece
of equipment listed on the back of your diagram.

6.Total these prices
to determine how much it costs to purchase equipment for a salon.

Develop a 3-D salon based on the mock salon you have just designed. You may use a container
no smaller than a shoe box and no larger
than an empty soda carton. Use your imagination
to
create the furniture, decorate the walls
and design flooring.

Conclusion
We
hope this project has opened your eyes to costs associated with operating a
salon. You could use this as an entry for your School To Career Portfolio.
It
is also important for you to know there are distributors who have yearly
“scratched and dent” sales of the furniture they have on display. Used furniture can be purchased by looking
at ads in the newspaper or postings on bulletin boards at local beauty
supplies.
Many
of the distributors have credit plans available when purchasing new salon
furniture. This allows you to make
payments on a monthly basis.
Remember
you may want to look into purchasing equipment insurance (discussed in Chapter
1) that will cover the price of replacing your equipment should you have an
accident occur at your salon (i.e. fire, building damage, etc.).
