Your questions about aveda salon
Richard asks…
If you are a hairstylist in a nice salon, how much do you make a year?
I’m looking into going to the Aveda Fredrics Institute in Cincinnati to be a hair stylist. The paperwork Aveda gave me said that I would be making $30,000-$48,000 per year, probably less than that to start out with. However I just started looking at some websites and they say that the average income is 20,000-25,000. I live in Cincinnati and I want to work in high end salon like Identity or Mitchell’s. If YOU are a hairstylist or know someone who is, how much do you actually make?

Linda asks…
Color to add thickness to hair?
Help! I have REALLY thin, fine hair. I hate it. I have finally accepted that I can’t wear it long and now wear it just above my shoulders, with some layers and use mouse to try to thicken it.
For years, I’ve been having it highlighted with a high-lift color from an Aveda salon. I was told that the color would coat my hair and actually make it feel a little thicker. Since Nov, my hairdresser has been using bleach, I believe. This has made the highlights more vibrant, and I like the look of the color, but it feels like it’s thinner than ever! I’m wondering if using the bleach is damaging it and making it thinner? Would switching back to a high-lift color be better? (Can I even DO this now, over the bleached hair?)
admin answers:
Two colours are normally good for this, like brown and blonde. But try making you’re hair look more dry, that always makes it look thicker.
Mark asks…
How do I make my hair blond?
I want to go to Aveda or Haircolorxperts. My hair is pretty damaged, though I take care of it, every week with a deep re constructive treatment, anyhoo, it’s about a shade 5 now, and has been dying red before.. so there’s still that pigment in it, and brown.. and I want to go to about a 9- 10. Will they have safe bleach? Can I lighten it safetly at home before I go to the salon? Does anyobody know?
admin answers:
I use to be red but now I’m blond. I did it step by step and avoided damaging hair. First I colored my hair in dark brown and every 15 days I color it with ultra ash blond and now I have shiny natural blond hair and it’s not damaged. Every 2 month I cut my hair little bit.
Paul asks…
after highschool i want to own a salon, but what all will i need to learn besides cosmetology?
okay, so after graduating, i want to open my own salon, problem is i dont know what all i need to learn. do i need to go to college for business? and if so what would be a good school to go to, while doing cosmetology? plus, im trying to get into an amazing cosmetology school [Aveda] which is going to be a little pricy, so i really cant afford 2 expensive schools… to be honest, i just need information from anyone who may know something about opening a business. =]

My aunt owns her own salon and she just had to go to school for cosmetology, nothing else.

Aveda is a good school. Have you looked into Paul Mitchell? Also excellent. Unfortunately, the price of the school is directly related to the quality of haircut instruction you will receive. I do not think you need to go to business school however. There are other choices you can make to fill in your knowledge gap. First, the SBA (Small Business Administration) offers classes … I think they are free or extremely nominal fee, that will teach you how to apply for loans (goes into putting together a business plan etc.) other business obligations such as what type of entity are you and what do you need to file, etc. The second option is don’t open your own shop right away if you are asking this question. Learn your business at someone else’s business. Rent a chair at another business and figure out the overhead, what services are covered under your fee, etc. When you open your own salon, you will need to know how to price your booths if you plan on renting spare chairs out or is this a one person shop. And then there’s the books, payroll & sales & use tax and licensing. The good thing is that if you leave and you’ve built up a good clientele, they will follow you whever you go to next. The third option is to go head first and open a shop. It’s expensive (My niece put $100k into hers and she doesn’t even own the building) and after 3 years, it is just starting to show a profit. Now, my niece is fortunate because my sis is in the same line of business and if not for her experience and advice, my niece would have gone out of business 2 years ago.) . Can you sell? You gotta sell your business and if you can’t think of innovative marketing ideas, your salon will just be another place in the shopping center. other option, if your zoning allows, have the shop in your home.
