What is a good revenue per chair figure?

In the UK, a good revenue per chair is £500-£800 per week for a mid-range salon. Premium salons in city centres may achieve £1,000+ per chair per week. If a chair is generating less than £400 per week, it may not be covering its share of overheads.

How do I increase revenue per chair?

Increase average transaction value through upselling services and retail products. Reduce gaps between appointments with efficient booking. Offer higher-value services like colour and extensions. Ensure stylists are rebooking clients before they leave.

Should I include retail sales in revenue per chair?

Yes, include all revenue generated from each chair position — services and any retail sales made by the stylist at that chair. This gives a true picture of each station productivity.
