"Growth Comes to an Extensions-Only Salon"
by Roseanne Ullman, January 25, 2022
Building the Numbers
"By the time 2021 came to a close, Crown Extension Studio had grown 50%. Bowden was able to step away from working behind the chair, concentrating on marketing and management instead. Another major was change was becoming a gratuity-free salon.
Comparing the first half of 2021 with the second half, Bowden calculates her before-and-after financial picture:
- Revenue grew 26%, from $231K in the first six months to $292K in the second six months. “This was despite rebuilding a team entirely from scratch and retiring myself from behind the chair,” Bowden says.
- The number of returning guests doubled from 231 returning guests to 483.
- Bowden was able to increase payroll by 76%, she says, “to provide a better life to my ‘extensionistas’ and assist in recruitment and retention. I am able to do this comfortably while keeping my payroll cost at a healthy 35%. My stylists are paid a salary between $53,000 and $65,000 and receive paid vacation and holidays. This is even after we stopped accepting tips. We are a team-based-pay salon.”
- Extension membership revenue increased by 51%, from $53K to $81K. The average member pays $330/month"
