bro barbing saloon is one of the best business you can venture into either u are monitoring or you are the one operating it. If you already have a shop,240k is enough to make it a standard one. Am currently starting my own also,just get a good location,preferably student environment .lets talk on Whatsapp so I can show u some pics on how you can design and put things in order. Don't give ur money to anybody,just seek advices and do away with the bad ones.saloon is a lucrative biz u can also make it a unisex,240k is still ok for unisex.nowadays, we use camera to monitor barbing saloon

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.

Bros, let me help u here. Barbing saloon is a lucrative business. I operate one and is fetching me income. But like any other business , management is always the problem because some of these barbers are not trustworthy, they keep telling u that there is no work while they make their cool money , my own is right in front of my house so is easier for monitoring. The standard of the saloon and the location determine how much u will invest, if it is where N150 or N200 will be charged per head ur N240000 is ok but in high brow area where u can collect N500 per head certainly no. Note that u need the following for an average saloon; a rented Shop paint to ur taste, 2 barbing chairs, 2 mirrors , 4 Waiting chairs can be plastics, 2 clippers, generator, 1 towel warmer, others are;after shave, powder, shampoo for hair treatment, cover cloths, fan, TV set, radio CD for music, u Know guys do like music. etc. U can employ barbers and ask them to be balancing weekly on average N2500 per barber and they are the one to be incuring minor expenses or employ cashier , here barbers are pay by comission or fixed salary. It is a good business if u have a good managers and good supervisions .

I run a barbing salon. My advise is: if you don't know how to barb, don't venture into it, and if you have to, save the money and go learn barbing first.
Barbers comes and go... once a barber leaves the customers to goes. But if you run it by urself it's good. More so, these boys are just looking for where to mke quick money, nobody wants to work for others among them.

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

Hi bro. Do not listen to those people saying you will not get any profit from a barbing saloon, it's a big lie and a means to stop you. I'm a cashier in a unisex salon here in Ilorin, and I must tell you there is a lot of gains in the business.
What you need to do before you start is to make enquiry about the location, if it is confirmed to make sales go on and start it.
