Free Salon Business Health Check
Is your salon profitable, or simply busy?
Start with a five-minute review of pricing, occupancy, staffing, financial control and owner reward. The result appears immediately and no financial documents or email address are required.
The Health Check identifies the figures that deserve attention and gives you three practical priorities.
Why Salon Business Tools
Your prices should reflect your business, not simply the salon down the road.
Salon Business Tools is based on more than 35 years of practical experience in the hair and beauty industry. It turns real industry knowledge into straightforward tools for owner-managed salons.
Busy does not always mean profitable. The planners help you examine the commercial effect of costs, staffing, appointment time, capacity, pricing and the income the owner needs from the business.
These are planning aids rather than accounting, tax, legal or financial advice. The quality of every result depends on the figures and assumptions entered.
Built for different stages of salon ownership
Start with the level of planning you need today.
One-salon planning
Plan several services together and compare Current, Revised and Target positions.
Growing business
Bring detailed team, resource, scenario and multi-location planning into one process.
Price from the reality of your business
Recover the costs of running the salon, reward the owner and pay the team fairly.
Each edition explains how the figures work, helping you make informed decisions instead of producing a price with no commercial context.

Low prices, irregular reviews and constant discounting can increase activity while reducing the money available to reward the owner, retain the team and reinvest in the business.
- Review costs before setting prices
- Measure profit per service and per hour
- Price for the team you need to retain
- Build confidence around regular increases
