Spa, Salon/Parlor, Massage Biz Thread

hi!

regarding compensation: it's best to read up on the labor code re basic pay requirements. basic + commission is usually the arrangement.

in hair salons, this is how they do it.

hi mga sis,may idea po ba kayo kung saan nakakabili ng mga products or yung mga ginagamit para sa nail art? i'm planning kasi to put up a small business like nail art.

thanks

how much salary ng masahista ngayon?

[Miss Minchin]

hi sis ^_^

there are several sellers in multiply, but if you wish to be a direct buyer, you will have to source it out. in 168 i saw a stall there and they are selling the things like konad stamping its( not the brand, it looks like it i didnt catch the brand) and fake nails. ive also tried in ebay, and there are some sellers. search around and youll find something ^_^

Share nyo sis how to start this one?

Ano mga kailangan bilhin na gamit at how much starting capital?


What are the disadvantages or mahirap na part sa business na toh?

[jamiecabascos]

For me, not all can afford Spa, I mean, sa SM naglalakad-lakad ako, looking for a reasonable price ng Spa (minsan nakakadepress magbabayad ka ng 500+ tapos wala din). Ang hirap pag wala kang pwesto. Not all equipments you need kayang abutin ng kamay mo. IMHO. Wala akong Spa pero this somewhat related kasi sa thesis ko. In short, pag home service pwedeng kulang gamit mo. pero ang pros, comfortable and convenient sa clients.

as for the capital, home service, i guess 15k?? depende sa supplier mo. i mean, hindi naman lahat ng supplier (high/low/so-so quality) have the same price. basa ka sa internet, madami.

(nakatulong kaya to? haha)

[me_love_havies]

ny mom usually does that but hindin naman para magtayo siya ng sariling spa nya hehe..

we usually have yung mga massage na home service. minsan aside from massage, nagpapa foot-spa etc na din siya. ang gagawin niya, "interview" nya yung nag-service para alam niya kung ano yung mga ginagamit nung mga nagseservice -- ang labas parang small talk lang. tas in the end, iuutos na niya sa maid namin haha 

may mga seminar ba para sa mga ganyang services? may background ka na ba sa pag-manage/operate ng spa? what you can do perhaps is to try to look for someone who has worked for this line of business and hire her - learn from her 

[jamiecabascos]

just a funny thought, hire her and learn from her then let go of her! haha (= no offense, this is just a joke. eto lang pumasok sa utak ko.

pero sabagay, ang kelangan mo lang naman sa foot spa: foot soak, foot scrub, pumice/yung para liha, foot blush, foot lotion, pag-isipan mo nalang kung pano mo didiskartehan yung parang "foot-tub", nasa 2k more or less isa nun sa watson's (=

pag body spa, oil/powder/lotion, body scrub

Hiya!

Was just talking to my husband about that over breakfast!!!  Our yaya just left and I'm having a problem finding a new one. 

I work at home. I'd love to have a decent, clean, reliable place where I can leave my son for a few hours.  That would solve the yaya issue.

Yup! It's so hard to schedule ME time! A salon right next to a day care center would be perfect.

Issues you need to consider:
1.  Age range you'd take in - how young will you start?
2.  Caretakers! (Grabe! Hirap nga maghanap ng 1 yaya eh! haha)
3.  Diaper changing station
4.  Mini library for older kids
5.  INSURANCE! Kids yan!
6.  Nurse on duty (?)
7.  LOCATION!
8.  Secure web cam so parents can check on their kids

Para ka na ring nag pre school. Set up in Little Jungle is quite nice. 

Hope this helps.

[cindy1211]

yes. nice idea yan sis..kasi ako pag lumalabas ako ng hauz bitbit ko mga kids. parang isang batallion..LOL joke tatlo lang anak. pero ok yan sa business idea.

[greyish]

nagpapa home service kami..actually not spa perse...

therapy...P500...maganda syang business actually kasi pag napenetrate ang isang pamilya or household, tiba tiba, isang puntahan lang

like kami, 3 kami. P1500 na yon then pinapakain pa namin...

[ms. independent]

pinagisipan ko 'to dati.. kase i love pampering myself.. foot spa, masage, mani/pedi.. i love them!! 

almost maconceptualize ko na nga. plan ko massage/reflexology, hand and foot care (spa, paraffin, massage, mani/pedi..), hot oil, hair spa.. di ko na maalala iba. to the point na naghanap na ko supplier. sa machines naman kase plan ko lang bilhin paraffin tub tsaka yung hair steamer. ang pinakaprob ko, yung staff. i've learned din na pwede sa tesda itrain yung staff for the reflexology/massage and yung sa spa. kaya lang prob ko pag kumuha ako staff, what if ako nagtrain, ako naginvest tpos pag marunong na, magstart na sarili niya spa. Oh my! ayun.. di ko na tinuloy.

[jamiecabascos]

hehe (= kaw talaga dear, ok lang naman to share your knowledge, malay mo, i-credit niya lahat sayo ng natutunan niya. make a contract na lang (teka, parang mas selfish pa to. haha!)

pero sa opinion ko, depende din sa rapport ng president and staffers, i think. hindi naman lahat ng tao ganun (=

Ano mga kailangan bilhin na gamit at how much starting capital?


What are the disadvantages or mahirap na part sa business na toh?

you can franchise sa celebrity nails & spa. i can't remember kung magkano capital that you need, probably 500k, 2 years ROI. sorry, i really can't remember.

[jamiecabascos]

500k? whoa! any cheaper than this? kawawa naman yung gustong magfranchise! madaming seller na nag-aaccept ng bulk/liters/kg na kaya mo lang bilhin lahat ng gamit in just 10k, more or less

[ms. independent]

sis jamiecabascos, eh kase meron akong long term na nagseservice sa'kin ng mani/pedi/foot spa, almost 10 years na. kaya lang siya mismo nagsabi na ang mangyayari dun malamang pag natrain na at may mga suki na, pwede niya na bulungan yung client na siya(staff)  na lang ang itext pag magpapaservice tapos mas mababa na yung singil. parang susulutin na ng staff yung mga clients. pupuntahan yung mga clients ng di ko alam. ayun. natakot naman ako. di ko na natuloy. kung tutuusin naman kase talaga, may sense naman. posible talaga gawin yun ng staff.

[jamiecabascos]

sabagay, iba na kasi panahon ngayon, for 100php pwede ka na ma-scam. babaw ng ganyang tao! tssk.

[ms. independent]

^ correct sis.. not unless meron talaga sila contract na pwede magkademandahan pag nanulot sila. hehe.. pero super complicated naman yun kung low capital and small investment lang naman.

clear ko lang mga sis and sa TS, when you say HOME SERVICE SPA ba you mean on-call ka lang sa client and ikaw ang pupunta sa kanila to service? yung wala ka talag space kung san sila pupunta? yun ba tipo almost thru text, call at emails lang ang mga appointments?
