Is there someone who specializes in getting a hair salon license? My shop is in panaque, If anyone can contact me and quote me a price via telegram @BrianNguyen15 ; or text me 09391351608
Very detailed article. I am planning to open a salon in my neighborhood and I am still in the research phase and this article has helped me in that. I’ll keep all these things in mind while creating my final plan.
There are different ways to establish yourself in the hair industry. You can open a franchise hair salon, wherein you pay money upfront for the license of opening the salon under an established brand name. You can purchase a well-established salon from someone who planning to retire from the business. Another option is to start a salon using your own money.

I thought it was interesting that you suggested to buy good used equipment for your hair salon. I can see how this is a good thing, though, because it will help you to save money and ensure that your salon is completely well equipped. That being said, I would think that it would be interesting to make sure that you are doing your research and making sure that the equipment has good reviews and will serve the purposes that you need them to. That being said, do you know if there are any review websites specifically for this to help this be easier? Thank you for sharing! http://www.wholesalesalonequipment.com/equipment/shampoo-bowls.html
Planning to put a kids hair salon, please help me find suppliers for the equipment and consumables.
Hi , from your experience is that true that the business permit will cost ranging from 100 – 200 thousand???
@aldenavila we had SEC permit.. Its corporation permit for 5 stockholders which costed more than 50k and we hired accountant to do it and we gave the money needed to her every week so im not sure with all in all total expense for the permit but it wasn't more than 100k.. if u get DTI permit i heard its cheaper.. there are many under the table bribery to make the permit procedure done faster and it also depends on the city..
We had a high end salon before. We only spent 500k-600k for 70sqm salon in hotel in makati. Unless you are planning to open a business in malls u don't need millions 🙂 We sold it since I'm busy with my job and I'm planning to open smaller one now
Kindly email me also where we can buy quality salon supplies.
