Commenting on the findings, Ronan Perceval, CEO of Phorest Salon Software, says:
“We hope this information helps would-be salon owners to see if they can afford to take the plunge and open a salon in their city, or current salon owners to find the right spot to expand. Of course revenue is only one side of profitability - you also need to take into account costs like rent and salaries in each county to make sure it works for you - but knowing the average revenue you can expect can help you work out the kind of rent and other overheads you can afford.”
He adds:
“While it may come as a surprise to some that a bigger city like Dublin or Cork didn't top the list, it just goes to show the importance of local salon businesses to their communities and the people who live there - something we see every day from our clients and their customers.”
