Salon Management
Chair rental vs employed, column optimisation, retail, stylists' pay and salon marketing.

Salon economics

Delivery
Six modules, four live sessions, one assignment per module and a final salon improvement plan. Members of the Salon Association of India receive a discount; graduates can join SalonsWorldwide.com and Salons.Directory programmes.
