sixtus3606:A familiar stranger. If u get what i mean. Familiar in the sense that u know him & his roots (parents, permanent residence, home town etc) Stranger in the sense that u r not close enuf for him to take u for granted! Hence the fear of how far u would go to get him should he f*ckup! |

To run a profitable Barber's shop, you must have lots of customers. Reason being that men do not cut their hair all the time. I cut mine once in 2 weeks. So chances are your customer will not return until after 2-4 weeks. Laundry on the other can be profitably managed with a few but loyal customers. Emphasis on the word "loyal". Laundry business is not for everyone and that's why it takes less effort to manage. Some customers don't wear a clothe twice in a week. So chances are you will likely get between 5-10 clothes weekly from a customer (the average office worker). Note this: laundry equally gives you more and proper time for management. You can even decide to wash and iron at night. However, for a barber's shop, the attention of your barber should be available all the time, whether customers walk in or not. I'm afraid, you likely won't be able to get the best person to manage this. You should consider the human resource aspect of the business. It is easier, cheaper and faster to get a laundry person than a good barber. Nigerian men are very particular when it comes to good styling. If your employee gives them a good cut today, ensure you retain him/her. I personally don't like switching barbers. Now look at this, even if you end up getting a very loved and dedicated barber, be rest assured that he will someday turn against you, and probably 'steal' your customers. Nigerians are very crafty. My opinion is this; Grab the laundry business with both hands because it is easier for you. Sometimes when you're off work, walk into your shop and wash those clothes. Spend your Sundays and Saturdays washing and ironing. That way, you learn the art faster and you also get to improve your business/earnings. Don't leave an infant business completely in the hands of a stranger. If you can't give a good hair cut, then don't go into it. Your barber will someday confront you and ask for an increased pay or fck off. Why won't he say that when he knows you can't hold a clipper, and he knows very well that he's well loved by his customers? 4 Likes |

mccoy47: well, I quite agree with you. However, all the aforementioned details is also in cognizance with family and friends. As for the issue of bleeping up; anyone can exhibit that. stranger, family and friends. even those you show kindness and friendliness to. if you do good, some employee could take you for granted. if you are inconsiderate as a boss, theirs every tendency the employee would plan you bleep up. Remember, human wants are insatiable. it only takes the grace of God and your application of technical leadership strategies. happy Sunday ![]() |

fabby101: you will need one year shop rent, 1 big generator, 2systems, 1tv for a start. Call the company customer care or super agent to know if they have space for new agent in ur area. Bet9ja is best prefered but Accessbet, 1960bet, merrybet or any other with good english league virtual will serve in a good location and are much easier and cheaper to open account. |

As an experienced businessman in both businesses, I will advise you to go for laundry since you will not be physically available 24/7 for the business. As long as you can put on ground, a very good record management system, you can be sure of good accountability for your investment in laundry but for the salon, it will be difficult to manage your sales. I had to close down a salon as the guy I put there was just ripping me off and I kept paying bills but for the laundry, am very okay, even when I travel outside the country for months. so, if you have the passion and the resources, float it my brother! |
