Its amazing how making money is very easy and the solution lies with you. Hair is one thing that gents will always do away with or trim to acceptable levels and when it comes to the ladies, don't under estimate the number of days an average woman will frequent a hair salon just to get her hair done.
What you need!
This depends on a number of things but most importantly the location will play a strong bearing on this type of business idea. Supposing the nearest hair salon is miles away and the cost of traveling to that salon is way past the cost of a hair salon, then it will make a lot of sense in setting up one however lousy, you will have a customer or two stopping by and before you know it, that will be a few shillings dropping by you.
In this situation, even the modest type will do because it will be enjoying a monopoly power of sorts. A few mirrors by the walls, hair cutting machines, warm water plus a few clean towels will do the trick. In this era though you need a sterilizer to ensure that your machines have a reduced rate of infection. No worries if you do not have it in your first month of operation but it should be a number one item in the things you must procure if you notice that you have some funds.
In the competitive section of this business, you need a prime location, air conditioning system, well decorated mirrors all over coupled with comfortable leather seats. The nice interior of a hair salon is a swift avenue to charging reasonable amounts.
More Rewarding if it's for people from all walks of life.
The business is even more rewarding if it caters for everyone. Customers of Asian origin will look out for hair salons that are designed to cater for their needs as opposed to a salon with barbers who can cater for African hair only, so if you are from a salon on Kampala road and you can cut hair for an Indian or Asian, that is a plus and if you do not know, try learning that as well.
