Advice On Setting Up A Barbing Salon by nani212(m): 9:49pm On Mar 26, 2016
Good evening nairalanders, I'm considering setting up a barbing salon in one of the south eastern states. I have 240000 to invest. The main reason I want to set it up is to create another source of income as I currently have a business I'm into. I wont be the one operating the barbing salon but I'll be visiting there to supervise every evening. I'm almost a novice in this field and I'll like people with experience to please advice and give me guidelines on steps to take.

Will 240000 be enough? What will be the right or appropriate salary to pay the barber I will employ? How profitable is the business? How much profit should I expect monthly? Waiting for your suggestions.

barbing saloon, no no no.

Which state are you, let me come to your state, and organize a show for you with that money. Atleast you will see return on investment.

The business has no gain, and who so ever you employ, will finish you.

Just my advice.....

since you base at Enugu state, and you have alot of friends there, bro, let me come and use your money to organize a show for you, atleast you will see the ROI. But barbing, even if you supervice it or not, you wont gain it, and probably run into big loss.

But with shows, you cant, and moreso, Enugu state love such thing, coupled with my strategies and experience about it, there wont be an slack moment.

Don't mind those people. Get a CCTV to do the monitoring, you don't have to be there.

Ok but i will advice you to place the barber on commission rather because that will make him more hardworking especially in this economic hardship where everybody is looking for a small opportunity to get access to money. Because if you place him on salary that will make him lazy believing that whether he works or not he will still earn his salaries after all. But placing him on commission for either a mean time it will make him to work harder knowing that the more he works the more money comes his hards. Goodluck and Wish you success!

Why the negative comments? Bro, I can assure you that it's a very profitable business if you have the right location. And I mean very very profitable. Just do the right packaging. You can open a mega saloon with that amount. About salaries of the Barber, you may have to make it on commission bases like say 20% + or - of total daily sales.

O.k let's do the maths if you have a big saloon with at least two barbers. And each barb at least 20 persons in a day. With the current rate of #200 to barb, the total daily income from the two barbers will be #8000 so let's say you pay each barber a thousand each daily, you are left with #6000. And let's even say you spend #3000 on daily estimates for rent, fuel, electricity bills, and miscellaneous. You are left with a profit of #3000 daily. Multiply that by 26 working days in a month. And you can expand the saloon with time to make it unisex. Don't listen to people who would want o discourage you.. plan well and go for it and don't PM or partner with anybody. Make your findings yourself .all the best

I remember starting up this biz as a nursing student in Amaigbo. The guy i put in charge chop the whole money sha. LOL cheesy

My advisory :
Set up and equip the place.
Get a manager, someone well versed in the business.
Agree on an amount he pays you monthly ie he manages, runs the place, pays you salary each month.

That's the only way you'd see penny from the business so long as you are not managing it yourself. Besides, 240K is a big money to invest in barbing business for a novice and starter unless that includes the shop rent itself. Just get basic things : 4 clippers, TV, Generator, chairs, mirror, DSTV or Gotv, sterilizer, powder, etc that should be like 150K max

Listen guy. The truth is most people quoting u are Fraudsters who are ready to steal your 240k. Do not contact any one. They are suggesting betshops and organizing shows as if u will make guaranteed millions once you invest. Every business is a risk. Do not listen to the sugar coated mouths. Go to few barbing salons around and ask questions from shop owners about the risks and gains of barbing business. You can also Google more information. Do not contact anyone on whatsapp or reply pm if u don't want to loose your 240k. Too many fraud going on here

. Good decision to go into a business venture. Why not consider starting a small scale gas business with the same amount of money? Gas business is becoming the in thing now. Give it a try and see what happen to your 240k in the next months.
