Estimates for a small start in the US, not guarantees.
What it is
A small salon built around the Dominican style: shampoo and deep conditioning, a smooth round-brush blowout, roller sets under hooded dryers, and treatments such as keratin or hot oil. Most have 3 to 6 stations, a wash area and a friendly, busy atmosphere.
Your first three steps
- Check your state board of cosmetology for the license you need as a stylist and for a salon license
- Visit rental spaces in busy neighborhoods and price out stations, dryers and wash bowls
- Set up an LLC, get an EIN, and line up general liability insurance before signing a lease
Who pays
Women and girls looking for smooth, long-lasting straight styles, especially in neighborhoods with Dominican and Latino communities. Also anyone with curly or textured hair who wants a weekly or biweekly wash-and-set.
How it makes money
Fixed prices per service (blowout, roller set, treatment, trim, color), plus a share of the revenue from stylists renting chairs or working on commission. Regular weekly clients make income steady, and product sales add a little extra.
Skills that help
- Blowout and roller set technique with good heat control
- Customer service, often in Spanish and English
- Managing staff, bookings and a budget
Watch out for
- State cosmetology license for each stylist, plus a salon or shop license; rules vary by state
- General liability insurance, and workers' compensation once you hire employees
- Ventilation and chemical safety, especially for keratin and straightening products; check state and local rules
- Lease terms, plumbing and electrical capacity for dryers and wash bowls
- Chair-rental versus employee setups have different tax rules; check with the IRS or an accountant
