Is Seattle a good place to open up a salon/day spa?

There currently are several profitable spas in Seattle. The question of opening a spa up will be answered in your business plan. Have you defined who your target market is, what type of a spa you will have? Day Spa, Salon Spa, Medical Spa? Do you have a location in mind? Is it Residential? Tourist area? Business Area? As a Salon/Spa you will be needing more of a residential area, take a look at the area you are thinking of and see who the competition is, how are they advertising, where are their clients coming from. Do your homework first. Make sure you have adequate capital to start the business, equipment, training, advertising. The business plan will set you in the right direction and give you the correct choice for you.Is Seattle a good place to open up a salon/day spa?
It all depends on the location. I was in Seatle this past summer and I thuoght that place sucked not only were the people not personable they were just plain weird, and the city its self pretty much sucked too. I mean there were some good places, but most of the city was a dump I thought.Is Seattle a good place to open up a salon/day spa?
Ive lived in seattle my whole life.. i'd say it would if you were trying to get more upper class customers...
it could be. it rains 80% of the year, so you will either get a lot of business cuz of that, or because the weather is so bad no one will go out.
no


its not a good placu may not get enough buisness
im not from there im from NY but in my opinion, anywhere should be a good place to open one of those because there are ALWAYS women everywhere that need to be pampered once in a while. I think the KEY to having a sucessful one of those is to keep the prices low and keep the spirits high so people want to go there and feel good about it, and dont feel like theyre walking into a place where they spend all their money for little results and feel like they are being judged by an obnoxious staff..

What is the difference between a salon and a spa?

At a salon you can usually get your hair, nails, and waxing done if you want, but at a spa, you get a bit more pampered, because it is almost guarenteed that it includes waxing, nails, massage, hair, manicures/pedicures, etc.What is the difference between a salon and a spa?
Nothing, the term Spa came from France and is interchageable with Salon. The prevailing winds are blowing towards spa right now so most businesses assimilate accordingly. The descriptive term usually gives you some guideance, such as ???? Hair Salon or ???? Day Spa. Some companies are now using ???? Salon and Spa. The only way to really know what services are provided at any given operation is to visit the website or give them a call. Hope this helps. I know someone that just changed there name from Salon to Spa to keep up with the current trends of the industry.

My twin sister and I are opening up a salon called Jemini Salon & Day spa, what should our slogan be?

The Salon and Day Spa is more Upscale with a contemporary style. We are also trying to come up with ideas for a logo as well, any ideas are welcome? What do you think of the name?





Serious Answers ONLY!!!!My twin sister and I are opening up a salon called Jemini Salon %26amp; Day spa, what should our slogan be?
Maybe something like:





Twice as Nice as regular spas





Two times the pampering, two times the relaxation








And I like the name, just not the spelling, it's confusing. I'd stick with Gemini.My twin sister and I are opening up a salon called Jemini Salon %26amp; Day spa, what should our slogan be?
Jemini Salon and Day Spa


Second to none.
TWINSTER SALON %26amp; DAY SPA


will be fitting for you.

Should I buy a spa & salon business in this economy?

I have the opportunity to purchase a salon and spa. The owner inherited the business two years ago. It's not his core skill, and now he wants out, which he's selling at a great price. This business has all factors going for it: five star reviews on Citysearch, an established client base, a downtown location with core residents and tons of walk-by traffic. The business is fully built and successfully running now; I just walk in and take it over. The business itself is running financially at break-even. The business is 50% hair and 50% day spa, of beauty and massage.





Part of me is eager for this. Since the current owner has been only half involved, there's lot of opportunity for new services and new marketing to increase sales.





The other part of me say, ';What, this is nuts!'; Buying this sort of business in this economy, which will probably get worse in 2009, will most likely loose money. When unemployment goes up, ladies will hardly be in the mode to get manicures.





So, any thoughts on purchasing a Salon and Spa business?Should I buy a spa %26amp; salon business in this economy?
Couple of things strike me..


i)What is your current profession ie do you have any knowledge/ skills /contacts in this trade???


ii) In my experience in a recession the first things to go are luxury items such as Gym membership etc鈥?br>

iii) Will you be borrowing money to buy it


iv) Will you be giving up your current employment to go into this project full time





I think if you ask yourself these questions and answer them honestly you will get your decision

Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...





I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a ';name party'; %26amp; have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.





I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.





Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free %26amp; a great place to start, so I'd try them out first.





Comprehensive research consists of looking at marks that are similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning in the pending %26amp; registered Federal AND State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.





There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names %26amp; yellow pages, so simply do a search for ';free domain name search'; and ';national yellowpages'; and the appropriate links will pop up.





Hope that helps! I wish you much success %26amp; happiness in all your ventures!I am trying to come up with a name for a salon and spa. Something original, but not too cliche'.?

Things you might consider...where are you located? Does it lend a feeling of tranquility that you might want to consider in your name? Does your spa offer any unique treatments that others do not? What is the decor of your spa? European, asian? Is it modern, convervative, earthy? I have helped a couple of spas with names, logos and even their web sites. If you'd be interested in me helping you out, please check out my site www.tripleidesigns.com and contact me from there. We are aggressivley adding to our portfolio so we are offering really great rates on our services right now.





Hope that helps!
';Sally's Salon and Spa';





Or substitute some other name beginning with ';S';. It will make designing the sign more fun, make it easier to remember. Try to avoid puns, they only make it harder to interpret what it is you actually do.
use ';Curl up and Dye';





it will be like free advertising
