Chapter 728 Hair Salon
"Bang bang bang!"
The door of Qin Yao's house was banged wildly.
There was just a glimmer of light in the sky and the curfew was lifted. Qin Yao was still preparing to take a nap, but now she couldn't sleep.
She sat up from the bed and heard the sound of Yin Le and Dalang opening the door while they were doing morning exercises in the front yard. She was still thinking suspiciously in her heart: Who would openly come to my mother to kill someone so early in the morning?
A surprised "uncle" came from the front yard.
Qin Yao was stunned for a moment, it turned out that he didn't come to kill me.
It's all her fault that the old man Gong Liangliao asked Liu Ji to tell her "Don't contact Sikong Jian or Black Cavalry people before the case of Prince Feng is decided", which made her think that a third party would come to find her.
Qin Yao had just gotten out of bed after putting on her clothes, when Liu Fei's excited voice came from the door of her room.
"Third sister-in-law! I've thought about it. I want to open a shampoo shop, the one you mentioned before. It specializes in washing people's hair, cleansing their faces, and buns. I have already thought about it. There are two separate rooms for men and women, and each one has its own salon. Guys and guys" bala bala.
Liu Fei said a lot without breathing, and then took a sharp breath and stopped, which showed that he was really excited.
Qin Yao washed up, opened the door, and faced the young man's face that was flushed with excitement. She saw the bloodshot eyes in his eyes and asked in surprise:
"You won't stay up all night and wait until the curfew is lifted to come over and share this good news with me, right?"
Liu Fei's eyes lit up, with an expression like "How do you know?" He nodded.
Then he asked expectantly: "Third sister-in-law, what do you think?"
"What's going on?" Liu Ji, wearing a thin coat and cloth shoes, appeared in front of Liu Fei with a dejected look. He grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back three meters. He warned dangerously: "There are differences between men and women. ”
Just keep talking, and people will get in his wife’s face, how unbecoming it is!
Only then did Liu Fei realize that his behavior was inappropriate, and he apologized and cupped his hands at Qin Yao.
The next second, he continued to ask expectantly: "Sister-in-law, what do you think of me opening a shampoo salon?"
Qin Yao leaned against the door and asked: "Have you investigated it? Is there a market? There has never been a restaurant like this before. Are you sure people can accept this change?"
Liu Fei nodded, "As long as men and women are separated and the price is affordable, many people should be able to accept it."
In fact, after the third sister-in-law told him about hair washing that day, the more he thought about it when he went back, the more he realized that it would be profitable.
I didn't come to my sister-in-law's house for a meal these two days, just to inspect various places in the city.
I never noticed it before and didn't think there was anything special about shampooing my hair.
Anyway, people say bathing and bathing, and when washing your body, you also wash your hair.
But this time he looked carefully and discovered that many people only washed their hair but not their bodies for the sake of convenience.
Especially now that the summer is scorching hot, you can break out into a sweat every time you move, and you can wipe it off your body, but your hair is hard to clean.
Both men and women in the Sheng Kingdom liked complicated and gorgeous updos, which were popular among the nobles and common people also imitated them.
Making a bun is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If you take it off and wash it just because you are a little hot and sweaty, it is not cost-effective.
Therefore, most people only take off their complicated buns and wash their hair once every ten and a half months.
Washing and grooming requires both washing and combing. There are many women in the market who specialize in doing people's hair. If they are from a better family, they will go to the mother-in-law to have their hair done. By the way, they will also buy one or two pieces of hair from the mother-in-law's stall. accessories.
Moreover, if the family conditions are better, the mother-in-law will be invited to the house twice a month and paid monthly, which is much more cost-effective than buying a maid who can do buns or the like.
Liu Fei said that he had taken a notebook and recorded all the famous women in the city in the past two days. He could clearly see how many customers they received every day and how much money each customer spent.
It’s not like I don’t know, it’s just a shock.
Liu Fei took out the small notebook hidden in his arms, ignored his third brother who was blocking him and refused to study, came to Qin Yao, pointed at the notebook and said with excitement:
"Third sister-in-law, you see, this is the most famous woman in Nan City. She opened a shop in the backyard of her home by herself, and she even hung a sign. She can receive five or six customers every day, and each person takes about an hour, and the fee is 100 yuan. If you write between 200 and 200 yuan, you will also be given a few wooden hairpins as a gift."
Assuming that there are five people per day and each person spends 150 taels of cash, that is 750 taels of cash per day and 22 taels per month!
Of course, this is the woman with the best business and the biggest reputation.
There are also various ones that are less famous and have cheaper fees.
These nuns can receive more than a dozen people a day, and charge 20 to 50 yuan per person. They do not give away hairpins, but they will give guests free appliqués, dyed lips, etc. They follow the path of small profits but quick turnover. , business is also very good.
Calculated in this way, assuming that there are ten guests a day, each guest spends an average of thirty cash, which is three hundred cash per day and ninety taels of silver per month.
The cost is almost nothing. You only need to prepare some rouge, gouache, hair oil, and wig cushion bags.
They are all things you buy once and can be used for a long time, so the daily cost is very low when spread out evenly.
Liu Fei concluded: "These women only care about dressing up and not washing hair, so I think if we open a one-stop service from shampooing to hairdressing to makeup, it will be like the one-stop service you mentioned before, Sister-in-law." , and sell some rouge gouache and hairpin silk flowers, maybe it will be very profitable!"
Liu Fei turned the small notebook upside down again, pointed to the draft he had written on it after staying up all night, and said:
"Third sister-in-law, look, this is the price list I set. It only costs 30 yuan for basic grooming and a simple bun. If you want to make a complicated bun, there are three other levels, and an additional 20 yuan and 5 yuan will be added respectively. Ten articles, one hundred articles"
While Liu Fei was talking, Qin Yao looked at the basic plans written in his notebook.
Apart from anything else, everyone knows how to make a plan for inspecting the market. It seems that he has indeed learned a lot of real skills from being with the shopkeeper of Fulong Trading Company.
She hadn't written a letter to Qiu Yan, the owner of the trading company, for so long since she arrived in the capital. Qin Yao decided to give him a gift the next time she sent a letter to express her gratitude to the shop owner for nurturing his children.
Liu Fei's plan was very detailed, so detailed that he even wrote half a page on how to make wet drying faster.
For example, in winter, you can use a highly absorbent fur veil to absorb a large amount of water, then burn the hair in a charcoal oven and shake the hair manually to ensure that it dries faster.
If you are not afraid of the cold in summer, you can set up a large hand-cranked fan, and four or five people can use artificial wind to blow your hair at the same time.
The young man has already implemented his plan to this point, and Qin Yao feels that it is unreasonable for him not to support it.
Moreover, she looked at these rough planning data and felt that it was very feasible. If it was completed, it would indeed be a profitable business.
Qin Yao closed the small notebook and handed it back to Liu Fei, who was anxiously waiting for the results. Qin Yao waved her hand and said:
"My brother bought me two shops, one double-storey and one single-storey large apartment. Now the tenants of this large apartment think the rent is too high and don't want to renew the lease. I will hand you the deed of the store in a while. You can Go over and talk to the tenant."
"The rest is up to you." (End of chapter)
