Texas salon owner research
Could your service prices cover the real cost of running your salon?
Salon Business Tools is working with a small group of independent Texas salon owners before developing its first US profit and service-pricing planner.

Who we would like to meet
Independent owners who understand the pressures behind the chair.
Our initial research is focused on one-location hair salons with approximately three to ten working stylists. We are particularly interested in employee, commission-based, and mixed salon teams.
You do not need to be a financial expert. We want to learn how salon owners make pricing decisions in practice, which figures are difficult to obtain, and where existing advice falls short.
Solo stylists, booth renters, and larger salon groups may still register. Their needs will help shape later research.
What the conversation covers
Practical questions, not an accounting examination.
What the salon pays
How wages, commission, payroll taxes, benefits, paid time off, card fees, and other operating expenses are understood.
What would help
Which results, explanations, and comparisons would make a pricing planner genuinely useful to a Texas owner.
Why Salon Business Tools
Built from salon experience, then checked locally.
Salon Business Tools was created in the United Kingdom by Harry, a former salon owner with 35 years of experience in hairdressing, salon ownership, and business management.
The UK planners are already available. We are not assuming that British wording or business conventions belong in a US edition. Texas owners and professional advisors will help identify what must change before the software is offered for sale.
What participants receive
Early access in return for honest feedback.
- A short introductory Zoom conversation
- An opportunity to test the proposed Essential US edition
- A complimentary copy of the completed Essential US edition if it proceeds to release
- No purchase, promotion, or endorsement requirement
