You can use this hair and beauty salon sample business plan as inspiration, but ultimately your business is unique so you'll want to be sure your business plan captures what makes you unique.

How do I write a financial plan for a salon?
When writing a financial plan for a salon, it's probably easiest to think about what your expenses might be. List out these expenses. Expenses you might consider are things like licenses and permits, equipment and maintenance, products, salaries and wages, utilities, etc.
Then think about how you'll make money. Create a list of these revenue streams. This could be things like hair care products, skin care products, makeup, rental income from station leasing, etc.
With this activity you'll now have your revenue streams and expenses listed. You can plug these values into a tool like LivePlan to get support in automatically calculating your financials - or you can use a spreadsheet to start putting your financial plan together using these categories as a starting point.
