Competition: there are a couple of salons on the side streets, but this salon is the only one that was able to secure a coveted 'use permit' for one of most desirable locations on the main street in the center of this town, which draws tourists from all over world.. To be clear, there currently are no other salons allowed on this busy main street. This is a huge competitive advantage. Some locals refer to this salon as the 'salon on broadway.'

Growth and expansion: for personal reasons the salon is currently closed on saturdays, the busiest day in the industry. To increase usage and revenues, the rooms could be rented out to various professionals, e.g. Esthetician, tanning, nail, neck massage, lashes, etc. More aggressive marketing to daily walk-ins for nails and hair could be done to monetize untapped potential. Further development of the salon's online marketing could do much to continue growth in profitability. Also, additional effort could be made to establish more referral relationships with businesses that serve a similar client-base but that do not offer the specific services provided by this salon.
