1. Start Your Own Hair Salon and Day Spa: Your Step-By-Step Guide to Success
2014 by Eileen Figure Sandlin, Entrepreneur Press,



Opening a hair salon or day spa might seem like a dream—creating a haven of relaxation, beauty and soothing music—but Start Your Own Hair Salon and Day Spa is here to gently remind you that, behind the aromatherapy candles and cucumber-infused water, there’s a business to run. This guide takes you step by step through the delicate process of turning your vision into a thriving reality, covering everything from securing funding (which, sadly, does not grow on trees like eucalyptus leaves) to hiring the right staff (preferably ones who can wield scissors without alarming the customers). Packed with advice from seasoned salon and spa owners who have survived the chaos of launch day, awkward first clients and the occasional questionable hair dye disaster, this book ensures you’re equipped to handle everything from pricing your services to making sure your grand opening doesn’t accidentally resemble a shampoo explosion. Whether you’re a beauty enthusiast, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone who just really enjoys the scent of lavender, this is the definitive guide to keeping your salon dreams from turning into a tangled mess.

2. Hair Salon and Day Spa: Step-by-Step Startup Guide
2014 by The Staff of Entrepreneur Media



Running a hair salon or day spa may sound like a blissful dream of cucumber facials and artfully tousled locks, but Hair Salon and Day Spa: Step-by-Step Startup Guide is here to remind you that behind every moment of tranquil pampering lurks the thrilling, mildly terrifying reality of business. This two-part guide from Entrepreneur Media walks you through the fine art of making money while making people look fabulous—because, let’s be honest, both are equally important. The first half reveals the secrets of profiting in the beauty industry (hint: it’s not just about having an endless supply of towels), while the second half dives into the nitty-gritty of launching a business—everything from choosing a structure (preferably one that won’t collapse), securing funding (good luck) and managing staff (who will, inevitably, have strong opinions on everything). Packed with interviews, practical tools, checklists and even a Startup Resource Kit bursting with customizable letters and sample documents, this book is essentially a survival manual for anyone brave enough to turn their salon dreams into reality—without drowning in a sea of appointment cancellations and mysteriously disappearing hairpins.

3. Business Management for Hairdressers and Therapists
2003 by Susan Cressy



Running a salon might seem like a delightful world of perfectly styled hair, soothing spa treatments and the gentle hum of relaxation—but Business Management for Hairdressers and Therapists is here to remind you that, behind the blissful aroma of eucalyptus oils and the gentle snip of scissors, lurks the ever-present reality of business management (which is significantly less glamorous but absolutely necessary if you’d like to avoid financial ruin). This comprehensive guide walks you through the essential but often overlooked aspects of running a successful salon—like making sure your employees are happy, your clients keep coming back and your financial records don’t resemble a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Covering everything from creating a safe working environment (because hot wax and sharp scissors require some level of responsibility) to offering the perfect balance of services, this book ensures that your dream salon doesn’t turn into a chaotic, towel-covered nightmare. Whether you’re a hairdresser, therapist, or just someone who wants to make a living without constantly battling appointment scheduling disasters, this guide is your trusted roadmap to keeping both your clients and your bank account happy.
