Most
people are now turning their hands into self employment activities and the
business of saloon is one that is high in target for many in Kenya. However it
doesn't matter how many people go into the idea, the fact remains that saloon
business will never lack market since almost 99percent of women all over the
world give extreme regard to hair beauty. Every lady wants to look extra
beautiful thus creating more and more jobs in the beauty industry.
The
top secrete behind creating self employment is identifying the need in a market
and finding ways to provide solutions to that need. For instance, lately I was
astonished to discover that most women complain that there are very few good
saloons, and thus they just keep up with the situation. Imagine this being the
case and it is happening in Kenya where everybody is crying about the high
levels of unemployment?
So what makes saloon
business more unique and promising?
The
answer is as direct as broad day light! You even don't need to have a masters degrees
to get this clear, just go over the below points;
1. Requires easily achievable
formal qualifications
You
don't need to have a college degree to venture into this niche of beauty; in
fact, simple hairdressing training can do you marvelous. However, it is
necessary that you concentrate on giving quality service so as to outstand
competition
2. The great need in the
market
There
is very great need for good salons in the market today. In fact women are ever
on the run looking for a better person who can do their hair wholeheartedly.
The idea is, try to meet each of your client’s needs separately and in special
case. Women like to be taken special and so you should take them special while
giving the services and they’ll take you special in return.
3. Easy to start
The
items and equipment required to set-up this business are both cheap and
readily available. In fact to some extents you just need a good venue and you
can begin by weaving using your hands as you slowly grow into having dries and
blowers.
4. Cheap to start
On
the same note of “easy to start”, the money value for saloon equipment's is very
reasonable and you can begin your business with little cash. You can get a room
to rent for as little as 3000/=, a blow dry for 2000/= and a good dries at
6000/=. So you roughly need 20000/= to set up the business and begin to enjoy
the benefits of self employment.
5. Legal documentations
When
it comes to dealings on registration and legal involvements, this business kind
will not stress you up. In fact you can decide to be paying the daily license
of relatively ksh20/= to the tax collectors, then after your business attains
stability you be “cutting” a yearly license.
6. Has high chances of
growing
As
long as you pick a reasonable location, there are high chances that your
business will surface. In fact to withhold this kind of business, just give the
best shorts when providing the services and you’ll see wonders. Your business
will begin to boom within the shortest time possible.
7. Self Advertisement
Simple,
ensure that your salon business is one of which provides the latest styles in
town. This is also very achievable since you just need to know what’s up in the
industry of style and fashion. Get the most up-to-date and high ranking
hairstyle photos together with the manpower and you’ll see clients flocking. Confidence
is all you need to create self employment and become your own boss in Kenya.
