Multiple streams with item-level detail
Build a revenue mix that matches your salon.
The model separates haircuts, other services, and products. Enter an average service price or product gross profit per unit, an offering start month, and a monthly sales count for each forecast year.
10 haircut types
Set an average price and forecast monthly sales volumes for each haircut type, with separate volume assumptions for years 1 through 10.
13 other-service lines
Plan additional services such as waxing, manicures, and massage, with an average price, start month, and monthly sales count by year for each line.
13 product lines
Enter gross profit per unit and monthly unit sales by forecast year for retail products, including the template's shampoo, conditioner, skin care, and nail care examples.
Flexible launch timing
Start different offerings at different times. You can also switch off any of the three income streams from the central controls.
Low / Base / High scenario planning
Compare different operating expectations.
Each of the three income streams has its own Low / Base / High selector, adjustment magnitude, and On / Off control. Set the streams independently and review the changes in the forecast and investment outputs.
Use these controls to compare different combinations of haircuts, other services, and product sales from one place.
How product sales enter the forecast
Enter product gross profit per unit.
The product section uses the amount retained after the product's acquisition cost. That gross profit contribution feeds the model's revenue totals alongside service revenue. Keep this basis in mind when reviewing total revenue and the revenue-based exit valuation.
From startup spending to ongoing cash flow
Bring the cost and funding plan into the forecast.
Connect the operating plan with the costs of opening and running the salon, along with any business financing.
Fixed & variable operating costs
Set monthly running costs and their start months, including worker costs and overhead. Five variable-cost lines can be entered as percentages of the model's total revenue.
Startup investment
Enter initial costs such as construction, chairs, equipment, tools, and other setup expenses when evaluating the cash needed to get started.
Capital expenditures
Schedule capital spending by month, including equipment upgrades or other one-time investments, and follow its effect on cash flow.
Debt financing
Set the financing amount, rate, term, payments per year, and first-payment date on the Control tab. The debt schedule feeds the forecast summaries automatically.
Monthly, annual & executive reporting
Review the detail and the overall investment case.
Use the detailed reports to understand the operating mix, then use the executive summary to evaluate the resulting cash flow and returns. Included charts show revenue, expenses, EBITDA, revenue by stream, and monthly versus accumulated cash flow.
Monthly & annual P&L
Review individual revenue line items within each income stream, along with the more detailed expense and profitability forecast.
Before-tax cash flow summary
Follow revenue, expenses, EBITDA, capital expenditures, debt service, financing proceeds, loan repayment, exit value, and annual cash flow before tax.
IRR & ROI measures
The executive summary reports internal rate of return, ROI as a percentage, simple annualized ROI, and average annual net cash returns.
Break-even timing
Review the model's break-even month and year alongside the capital needed and cash returned over the forecast.
Discounted cash flow & NPV
The Annual P&L includes a discounted cash flow section with an input discount rate and a net present value output.
Debt service coverage & loan detail
Review DSCR alongside the forecast, and use the financing schedule to see interest, principal payments, and the remaining loan balance.
Choose your holding period
Model an exit before the full 10 years.
Select an exit month to evaluate a shorter period, such as three or five years. Enter an exit valuation based on a percentage of annual revenue.
If debt remains at exit, the model assumes that the outstanding loan balance is repaid in that month.
