The Benefits of Renting a Salon Chair for Hairstylists
The hair salon market in the U.S. was worth around $52.2 billion in 2023. While that’s a pretty significant number, it’s not surprising considering that we all need haircuts and treatments from time to time. Most people visit their favorite hairstylist every five to eight weeks, depending on the type of service needed. That’s pretty impressive repeat business.
But the salon business can be pretty grueling. It's a lot to manage, from managing your suite to booking clients to taking care of building or salon maintenance. That’s why so many stylists choose to work for an established salon or rent a chair with a luxury, full-service salon. And for this latter option, the benefits are nearly endless.
Reasons You Will Benefit from Renting a Salon Chair
If you love to help your clients look amazing, then going into the hairstyling business might be a great choice. But you might not want all the business management that comes with it. That’s why we highly recommend you consider renting a chair instead of going solo. Here’s why we think it’s a great option.
Marketing and Advertising
While you will want to do some marketing and advertising on your own, you’ll also benefit from the mass advertising done by the salon owner. And let’s face it—marketing and advertising costs can add up. When you rent a chair at a reputable salon, you benefit from the street advertising, community events, and more.
Be Your Own Boss
Renting a chair allows you to plan your own hours, determine the services you will offer, and set your own prices. All you need to do is pay the salon owner's rent on time every month. Sure, you’ll need to manage your inventory and ensure you have supplies on hand, but you won’t have to worry about building maintenance, repairs, or anything else.
Run Your Own Promotions
Remember how we mentioned above that you could benefit from mass advertising or community events for the salon as a whole? Yep, that’s true. But you can also run your own promotions, special offers, and more. Think of it like a business within a business, letting you benefit from the best of both worlds.
Choose Where You Want to Work
If you’re a great stylist, you want to work at a great salon with an equally great reputation. So, as a chair renter, you get to decide where you want to work. And if a chair is open at a salon you love, the world can become your oyster.
Benefit from Walk-Ins
While most stylists who rent a chair book a pretty full schedule, there will inevitably be gaps. And it's a given that customers will walk into the salon looking for a service that wasn’t scheduled in advance. If you’re available, that client can become yours. This creates a great avenue for continued growth for your salon.
