Frequently Asked Questions
How many services does my salon need to break even?
Monthly fixed costs ÷ average contribution per service (price minus stylist pay and product). $12,000 of fixed costs at $38 contribution means 316 services a month — about 15 per open day.
What are typical salon fixed costs?
Rent (target under 10% of revenue), utilities, software, insurance, front desk wages, and base marketing. Small salons commonly carry $8,000–20,000 monthly before a single guest sits down.
How do no-shows affect break-even?
Every no-show adds its lost contribution to the mountain. A salon needing 316 services at a 10% no-show rate must book ~350 to land the number — deposits and reminder flows pay for themselves.
