For long Black hair salons have provided the black community with professional services. Running black hair care salons have turned out to be a  lucrative business for many multi-ethnic salon franchises, such as Hair Cuttery and Hair Studio, and department store chains, such as J.C. Penney and Saks Fifth Avenue. The total of the health and beauty aid industry  including hair, skin and cosmetic products and services is worth $2.8 billion.
Running a hair salon is a great  business opportunity. But running a hair salon successfully requires proper planning and management.
The cost of starting a hair salon is anywhere between $30,000 to $50,000. It includes equipment, insurance, licenses, maintenance and repairs. In many states, salon owners are liable for the taxes of booth renters (stylists who rent space). According to an Industry analysts  roughly one-third of the  black hair salons are booth renters. These independent contractors keep payments made by their clients, and pay the owner a weekly fee. In contrast, employees are paid by commission or salary.

 Most hair salon owners start out as stylists. Whereas a top stylist may have a $30,000 salary, a hair salon owner can eventually earn up to $100,000 or more.
Often when stylists become owners of hair salons , they forget that they are running a business. The stylist need to  adjust to the changes and accept greater responsibility. They should also adjust to a change in the flow of funds. It  includes designating duties to employees, staying abreast of new products and developing vendor relationships.
