United States research

Help shape a pricing tool built for independent US salons.

Salon Business Tools is exploring a US edition of its established UK profit and service-pricing planners. We are speaking with salon owners before adapting the software.

Why we are asking first

A US edition should reflect how American salons actually operate.

The UK planners help salon owners examine service prices using their own operating expenses, employee costs, appointment time, capacity, owner compensation, and profit goals.

Those commercial principles travel well, but the language and assumptions do not transfer automatically. Sales tax, payroll costs, benefits, booth rental, commission structures, and business practices vary across the United States.

We are therefore listening to owners and professional advisors before deciding what belongs in a US edition.

What we are learning

The questions behind a useful US planner.

01

Service pricing

How owners currently connect service time, product use, operating expenses, and required profit.

02

Team costs

How employee wages, commission, payroll taxes, benefits, paid time off, and tips affect the salon.

03

Business models

Where employee salons, booth-rental businesses, and mixed models need different planning assumptions.

Our first state

The first detailed research program is in Texas.

We are beginning with independent, owner-managed hair salons in Fort Worth, Arlington, and the wider Tarrant County area. Focusing on one state lets us test terminology and business assumptions properly before expanding.
