The most important thing about coworking for beauty professionals

Professionals in the fast-paced beauty industry may find that having the ideal workspace makes all the difference. It is imperative for nail technicians, estheticians, and hair stylists to have a workspace that meets their needs and encourages creativity. This is the purpose of coworking spaces created especially for professionals in the beauty industry.

These coworking spaces offer more than just a place to work. They give you access to cutting-edge equipment, a community of like-minded people, and the freedom to set your own hours. Many see it as a means of eschewing the constraints of conventional salons and embracing a more dynamic style of work.

You can maximize this opportunity by learning what makes a coworking space perfect for professionals in the beauty industry. Knowing what to look for will guarantee that you can succeed in this community, from picking the ideal location to taking into account the amenities provided.

What is beauty coworking

Coworking spaces are places where people who have something in common can work together. These could be independent designers, programmers, or, as in today’s post, representatives of the cosmetics sector.

Professionals in the beauty industry, such as hairdressers, stylists, makeup artists, manicure artists, brow artists, and massage therapists, can work from one or more fully furnished rooms in a beauty coworking space. Every workplace simultaneously conforms to the standards and guidelines that are relevant to the work profile of a specific professional. In other words, spaces are designed with manicurists in mind.

In contrast to traditional rent, beauty coworking only rents a portion of the space—a workspace. Here, rent may be paid on an hourly, daily, or monthly basis.

Coworking spaces, sometimes known as coworking centers, are locations that offer space to renters. Moreover, coworking residents are a common term for tenants.

Beauty industry professionals can expand their businesses without the overhead of a traditional salon by using coworking spaces, which provide a flexible and collaborative environment for specialists like nail technicians, hair stylists, and estheticians to work in. These shared workspaces offer professionals a community of like-minded individuals in addition to the necessary equipment and workspace, which facilitates networking, knowledge sharing, and client attraction. Coworking provides the perfect answer for people who want to strike a balance between their independence and the assistance of a professional community.

How it works

1. You choose a coworking in your city;
2. You book a place and time, inform the client;
3. On the appointed day and time, you arrive, meet the client and start working;
4. After finishing work, you clean the place, pack your things and leave.

You can schedule the entire day or just set up a time to serve a single client.

The administrator at almost every coworking space for beauty is the same as the salon administrator. He greets customers, brings them tea, guides them, and helps them locate their master.

Who is it suitable for

• beginners. Without a crowd of grateful clients and sufficient financial reserves, renting a place in a beauty salon is expensive. Especially when you have 2 appointments a day, and the rent in the salon is 30,000;
• those who work from home. People turn to home masters less and less often – the level of trust in the processing of tools and the qualifications of the master is falling every year. People want to receive high-quality service and feel comfortable, and not go up to the 8th floor without an elevator and be afraid to ask to go to the restroom. This is sad for home craftsmen, but it is true;
• for those who do not want to commit themselves. When renting a place in a coworking center, you are responsible for yourself. Nobody is standing over your shoulder, telling you how to work.

Advantages

• benefit. It is more profitable to rent a workplace for a small number of clients within the framework of a beauty coworking. The rate depends on the city, but on average it is 100-200 rubles. per hour;
• equipped workplace. The equipment depends on the specific place, but always includes furniture, basic equipment – drying lamps, manicure vacuum cleaners, sometimes they include dry heat and disinfectant solutions, lamps for photographing the result and other pleasant additions;
• the presence of an administrator. A home craftsman cannot boast of this;
• you can work at any time within the framework of the site"s operating mode. You can arrive at lunchtime, or start early in the morning, you can book one client for the evening and do other things all day;
• increased loyalty. As already mentioned, professionals working in studios and salons, rather than at home, are trusted more;
• the possibility of increasing the price of a service. If you used to work from home, and now rent a place in a coworking space, you can easily increase the prices a little, because now it is a different level of service;
• and one of the most important advantages is socialization in the beauty industry. Beauty coworking allows professionals with common interests to communicate, share new products, discoveries and events in the beauty industry.

Disadvantages

• you only have your clients. You cannot count on a random client. No, this does happen, of course, but these are rare cases. Basically, you work with whoever you find;
• coming out of the shadows. You can work from home without an individual entrepreneur and self-employment, but to work in a coworking space, you will have to become a law-abiding entrepreneur and at least register as self-employed;
• all responsibility lies with you. The coworking administrator will not deal with a dissatisfied client, since he has nothing to do with your work. A case with a dissatisfied client happened to the owner of a beauty coworking in Yekaterinburg. A master who rented a work space from her did something wrong and when the client tried to sort it out, sent him to the management. The management was shocked by such behavior of the master and stopped working with him.
• You may be refused. This is a rare practice, but some owners do not provide space to all masters. One of the owners of the coworking admitted that they have a strict selection of tenants;
• lack of your own work space. When renting a space in a coworking center, you will not hang up your certificates, you will not create coziness, you will not buy a new pillow for the chair – this is simply economically unprofitable and impractical.

About beauty coworking and SanPiN

Another significant disadvantage is the unclear state of sanitary law compliance, at least from the master’s point of view when renting a workspace. The fact is that there is no explicit guidance on how to set up a sanitary regime because the Sanitary Rules’ phrasing does not include concepts like "beauty coworking" or "workspace."

It’s critical to realize that leasing space from a beauty coworking does not absolve you of the following obligations:

• Cleanliness of the workplace and the tools used;
• Expiration dates of products – either your own or purchased on the territory of the beauty space;
• Cleaning and processing schedule;
• Compliance with the disinfection regime.

In addition, starting in 2021, all parties—LLCs, solo proprietors, and individuals, including self-employed masters—must abide by the hygienic regulations outlined in SP 2.1.3678-20, if they were not previously burdened with them.

The contract should contain explicit clauses that clearly define who is responsible for what, rather than vague generalizations. Since the master is the one who performs the service, he assumes responsibility for the SP by default if there are no specifics in the contract.

A sensible separation of responsibilities between the office landlord and tenant is the best course of action when:

• The master is responsible for the cleanliness of the workplace and tools;
• The coworking space is responsible for laboratory testing of the equipment so that it is always in good working order and effective against microorganisms.

Regretfully, the agreement reached by the parties usually lacks details, so when inspections occur, a tug-of-war ensues that could leave the master losing. Read the final agreement carefully and don’t be afraid to ask the landlord to include details about the Sanitary Regime in order to avoid this from happening.

Differences from renting a place in a beauty salon

• binding to a place. If there are several beauty coworking spaces in your city, today you can work in one, and tomorrow in another. You have no obligations to the coworking center – you paid the rent, worked, and left. There is no mandatory time to come, no service standards;
• economy. It is more profitable to rent a workplace in a coworking center than a place in a salon. If you do not have a busy schedule every day, in the first case you just sit at home and do not pay anyone anything, in the second case, no one cares about your downtime – you pay a fixed rent;
• legal aspect. To work at a coworking space, you do not need to have an individual entrepreneur, while renting a workplace in a salon requires this. You can use a beauty coworking space without registering as an individual entrepreneur, you just need to be self-employed.

Using an example, let’s examine the differences between traditional salon rent and coworking space rent.

I came upon an internet advertisement for a manicurist’s Moscow office to rent.

Words:

• price: 350 rubles. per hour, 2000 rubles. per day or 25,000 per month, 15 shifts;
• the opportunity to work with salon clients 50/50;
• furniture and equipment: table, 2 chairs, cabinet, shelving, sterilization area without equipment;
• location – residential area, not far from the metro
• additional: own administrator, tea and coffee for clients, water cooler.

Conditions of the Moscow-based One coworking space:

• price: 200 rubles. per hour, 1,500 rubles. – per day. Monthly rent is not specified, but when recalculated for 15 shifts – 22,500;
• salon clients – no;
• furniture and equipment: lamp, dry heat, ultrasonic bath, disinfectant solution, manicure vacuum cleaner, table, two chairs;
• location: m. Shabolovskaya, not a residential area, but not the center either;
• additional: administrator, tea-coffee, cloakroom.

As you can see, even though rent in Moscow can be higher than in our example, renting a space on the coworking site is more advantageous financially. Furthermore, coworking comes at a higher price than simply renting a space in a salon.

And one more thing, too! Why it’s still possible to remove the coworking space by staying in person. Face. In what way is this even feasible? How is it possible for an individual to rent anything out for business purposes? so that I can purchase a salon on my own. Face.

Elena

And why does a beauty salon need to keep roasting and soaking logs. Why should a salon spend much more money for a master. A master must have a medical. A book and it must be only official because of the huge fine. And why don"t they look at books in a coworking space and therefore the salon is again in trouble and the masters in the coworking space do not have a medical book, do not keep logs on roasting, and why should the salon then pay for medical books and not in a coworking space. Why is the salon responsible, for example, for cutting the cuticle. Why do masters not pay taxes there and the salon does. Please put the legislation in order where coworking and salon should equally bear the same costs and why, observing all the rules, the salon is financially responsible for everything, but coworking is not. Then in the cabin introduce the rules and the same requirements for the salon and coworking where the masters do not answer for anything. Why do some work by law receive less money than a manicureist in coworking. Then the salon, too, let not answer for anything. And then, as always and working by law, the salon at a loss, and those who do not answer have a lot of profit without spending a dime on taxes, are not spent on frying magazines and are not responsible for inflammation after their intervention. You either introduce these norms for everyone, or let everyone not frure anything and do not care for anything @!@@.
