Its income runs on walk-ins and repeat appointments paid at the chair, which a partner reads from deposit history and the card processor's statements.
Barber shops run without paid employees numbered 197 in Galveston County, TX in 2024, with $5.2 million in receipts (Nonemployer Statistics, NAICS 812111).

Pedicure chairs or nail tables first? Sequencing a salon equipment loan in League City, TX
Self-contained pedicure chairs cost more per seat, while nail tables are cheaper and can be added one at a time. Each unit can be identified on a supplier quote; fixed plumbing and drains are excluded.
Illustration only, invented figures: six self-contained pedicure chairs at $3,900 each, $23,400, on a 36-month equipment loan at an annual rate of 10.5% cost about $761 a month and $3,980 in interest. Twelve hooded or portable dryers at $1,350 each, $16,200, on the same term at 10% come to about $523 a month. One vendor quote for both lets them sit on a single request.
What lenders ask a League City, TX salon about booth expansion
Adding booths raises the question of who will fill them and how they are paid. A salon renting booths to independent stylists collects weekly or monthly rent; one adding employed stylists takes on payroll and commission. Partners want to know which model the expansion uses and what the current chairs bring in.
- Current booth count, occupancy and rent per booth, or stylist payroll and commission records.
- Card processor statements and bank deposits for the past six to twelve months.
- For a salon in leased space, include the lease and any setup permission required by the landlord. Fixed construction is excluded.
- Quotes for stations, chairs and self-contained rinse units, with supplier setup; fixed plumbing and electrical work are excluded.
Beauty salons are the larger group: Galveston County, TX counted 67 with paid staff in 2023, 42 of them (62.7%) with fewer than five employees (County Business Patterns, NAICS 812112). Separately, Nonemployer Statistics listed 1,030 beauty salons with no paid employees in 2024.
Funding retail product and dryers for a Galveston County, TX salon
Retail shampoo, color and styling product sits on the shelf until a client buys it, and color stock for the back bar is used up appointment by appointment. Both are inventory, and a credit line drawn per supplier order fits them better than a fixed loan. Dryers, chairs and portable rinse units are equipment with years of use.
Movable furnishings for eight suites cost $84,000 in this illustration and are financed over 84 months at an annual rate of 10.75%, for about $1,427 a month, or $178 a suite. The supplier quote identifies each movable item; fixed walls, doors, plumbing and lighting are excluded.
A salon facing a slow stretch should also read the merchant cash advance page before choosing a product collected from card sales. The League City, TX page and the trade pages cover the other businesses on this site, including gyms and fitness studios.
