Good business operation requires that you have a simple and sufficient record system. So try to keep weekly records, daily records, purchase and inventory records, and service records. This will determine income, expense, profits, or loss.
Cost of services is generally established according to the location of the salon and the type of clientele you expect to serve. A price list should be posted in a place where it can be seen by all clients. You can also go to other salons and check out their price list. |
