“How to Start a Beauty Supply Store”
Comment Page 2

Miami Florida, I am tired of bedside care. I am talented with using my hand, I want to open a afirican/american beauty supply store where I can use my hands to fix lace wigs, weaves, extensions and other type of hairs no perm would be involved. Please advice me on how much capital I need, reasonable manufacturers and most probably a good strategy of success since I am going to quite my job in this hard economic time.

I am opening a beauty supply store in Al. I have been trying to find out where to buy hair and other products. I am close to Atlanta area. Will someone please help me!

I am planning on opening a small store for all kinds of hair products like weave-on, wig, and braiding attachment and other accessories including hair care products like hair treatments, hair creams, shampoos, hair conditionals and relaxers in Nigeria. I will also like to know how much it will cost me to investment in this business. I would be very grateful if you can be of help.

I am 27 years old and I own a beauty supply store in Austin, TX. I am in my second year. It is very difficult to find the suppliers of the name brand hair and to buy directly from the companies, you have to put up at least a $5,000 for your first order. This may not sound like much but when you do the math, that is only one brand and you have to allot your money to buy other brands and other products. I started small and am gradually building up. I rent a space for fairly cheap in an area that isn't surrounded by any closer beauty supply stores so the competition doesn't hurt as much. The customers shop with me more for convenience. I do not have nearly the selection of most stores, but I have a little bit of everything. There are wholesale suppliers that sell all except hair and that's where I started. You have to get a taxpayer identification number first! This is free to apply for online and you can print out your tax id and shop the same day. Then you register your business name. Once you have a tax id, you can buy wholesale. I got shampoos, relaxers, jewelry, clippers, nail polish, hair dye etc. I splurged a little and got an account with a NYX cosmetics supplier because I preferred to have a good quality of cosmetics especially since I knew it was going to be a while before I got hair. The wholesale strip where I shop has a store that has some hair and some lace wigs. They aren't name brand, but they sell because they are inexpensive and like I said, my store isn't a far drive for my customers. To divert from what my store lacks, I focused on my surroundings and maximized my earning potential by adding an exotic wear boutique in the back of my store. I am surrounded by at least 5 gentleman's clubs and though that wasn't my initial endeavor, it brings in more clientele. And strippers need hair, makeup, shampoo, jewelry, etc. So to start, tax id. Register your name. Find a space you can afford right now. Not what you think your store will pay for. It is going to take time to make a profit. You will come out of pocket for rent, utilities, etc for most of the first year or more. Buy store fixtures used. Fixtures will eat up your investment faster than inventory. It doesn't matter if stuff doesn't match. Spray paint it! I started with a little over $20,000. But my first batch of inventory wasn't wholesale priced and I started with new fixtures. I quickly learned from my mistakes. Find out where wholesale suppliers are in your area or closest to you. (3 hours away for me.) When you shop, only get a few of everything. To this day I only have 3 or 4 of each product at a time. That way you see what sells best and you know you should buy extra the next time. And what you don't have, ask your customers what they want and write it down. Most people appreciate that you will make the effort to get exactly what they want and that's how you get faithful regulars. Good luck.

No one is going to give you their supplier/distributor names to purchase your weaves, wigs and other stuff. That information is considered sacred and costs money! If you are really interested and serious about opening a store, do your research and stop looking for a handout! Spend the time and the money and DO IT!!

I already have a beauty saloon in Abuja. But I need a dealer and supplier in weavons that is nearer to Abuja or Onitsha and Lagos

Smartgirl is absolutely correct on advise. If you want to start any business. Do your research. This is a great website, but the internet will help you much if used correctly. I have gotten pretty much of all my answers from research. If you would like advise on how to start read this website with all the key points it will give. It will answer all your questions. Then research. If you need money to start, banks are tight. Ask friends, relatives, business people you know. That is your best bet. You will be surprised how many people will invest if you have a great plan. Done your homework on a business plan. Even if you don't have to seek money from a bank. Always to a business plan or it will never work. You can not just fly it off the ground without a business plan. Seek UW colleges for business classes. They are very helpful, and talk to someone in your area thru the SCORE Program. It is a great FREE advise.
