An important decision both for your salon's business plan and to precede any renovations on the salon space itself, is the design of the interior layout of the salon.

If you know your service time and the number of customers who enter per day, mathematical formulas exist to determine the wait times and number of customers waiting.

If it will be for children, should...more
