Of all business please do not go into spa business unless you have few hundred thousand to spare.Lately you can see many spa and nail spa closed shop and left the customer stranded.

They closed down after they take so much of their customers' money.

I totally agree.....please think carefully before going into Spa Business. It's one thing to like going to Spa and another to operate it as business

Before I go into retail business I was operating a salon doing facial and body treatment service like a small spa.
For 3 years business does not grow even newpapers feature my services does not help my business because my salon was in a old shoppg centre.

Customers sign one package of 10 sections,got to give them 1 or 2 sectons free to entice them to sign package.
Most customer use their package of 12 sections for 2 years,tell me how to make money?

Thanks for the replies, appreciated it so much, i am really loving the idea, but i don't understand how come some spa operator (owners) keep on saying they r million dolars women successful just by being spa owner, how come they can earn so much.

Do we really nid alot of money to start this business? No chance is it?

thanks.

So should i still stick to my ideas of opening a clothing shop?

for the replies, appreciated it. but i don't understand how come so many spa owners declared they r successful spa owner earning millions of dollars. I thought of opening a jawanese spa with massage, selling some spa products...

just a small shop, do you think it cost so much?

or should i just stick to my idea of opening clothing shop/

thanks.
