Trying to work out kinks in my new business and could use some help. I have 2 booth rental stylist who up until now have been sharing walkins on first come first serve basis. I recently hired a commision stylist who opens and closes and now take first dibs on walkins. I think this is fair since part of the money she makes gets sunk back into the business and this is how it was when  I started out. I am receiving backlash from other employees who don't think its fair and stylist who are not listening and putting every callin or walkin down with themselves.

I know once I hire a receptionist I will be able to eliminate part of the problem but until I fill up and can afford that I have to rely on everyone to be honest and fair, which is not happening. Help!

I am in the process of opening a salon.  Im booked all day 5 days a week and have a few how will come with me.  DO you think you got a better deal on the lease with the economy?  Im hoping to take advantage while I can and once things rebound...I'll sit back and make more green.  

Could I ask the amount your monthly lease is?   Im looking into two salons right now that have closed due to lack of magnt. One is 3500.00 for 1050 sf.  Altough its Location, Location, Location.  Just curious what others are paying now.

THanks so much.  I've decided to only have employees.  I really have a vision and dont want to lose my professionalism.  THanks for posted about the BR.........that really opens my eyes.  Good luck to you.
