What size of retail space will need to be leased to operate this type of business?

The ideal store for an 8 bed salon would be approximately 1200-1600 sq ft, for a 12 bed salon you would need approximately 1600-2000 sq. ft, and for a 16 bed salon you will need approximately 2000-2400 sq ft. Though, it would make sense to take on a bigger space if the demographics, traffic count, and linear sq. footage were appealing. Prime real estate is a key ingredient to success. LOCATION, LOCATION.
