Running a Profitable Salon Business
A successful salon depends on getting the numbers right. Service pricing must cover product costs, stylist time, overheads (rent, utilities, insurance) and still leave a healthy profit margin. Industry benchmarks suggest product costs should be 8-15% of the service price, labour 40-50%, and overheads 20-30%, leaving a net profit of 10-20%.
Chair rental and commission are the two main employment models in UK salons. Chair rental typically ranges from £100-£400 per week depending on location and salon prestige. Commission-based stylists usually earn 35-50% of their service takings, with senior stylists commanding higher percentages. Our calculators help you model both approaches.
Client retention is one of the most important metrics for any salon. Retaining an existing client costs far less than acquiring a new one. A retention rate above 70% is good, above 80% is excellent. Even a 5% improvement in retention can increase profits by 25-95% according to industry research.
