If I Asked You What Your Profit Margin Is… Would You Know?
Let’s cut straight to it.
If I walked into your salon today and asked,
“What’s your profit margin?”
Would you be able to tell me?
Would you know exactly how much of every dollar you bring in is actually yours to keep—after paying for product, supplies, rent, wages, and tax?
If your answer is “Umm…” — you’re not alone.
Most solo beauty business owners I speak to are killing it with their talent… but flying blind when it comes to their numbers.
So, what is your profit margin?
Your profit margin is the percentage of your income that’s actually profit after all expenses are paid. It’s the difference between running a business that looks busy on the outside… and one that’s quietly sinking behind the scenes.
You might be turning over $3,000 a week, but if $2,800 of that is going straight back out the door?
You’re not running a business—you’re running yourself into the ground.
Why does your profit margin matter?
Because:
📌 It tells you whether your pricing is actually sustainable
📌 It helps you plan for growth (without financial stress)
📌 It gives you the power to pay yourself properly
📌 It shows you if your time and energy are being invested in the right places
You wouldn’t take on a client without knowing the cost of your time, your products, and your setup…
So why run your whole business without knowing what you’re actually earning?
You don’t need to be a math genius.
You just need a simple system to track:
How much you’re making
What your expenses are
What’s left over (and what that percentage looks like)
And from there? You can make smart, informed decisions.
Want to invest in a course? Raise your prices? Take time off? You’ll know what you can afford—no guessing, no guilt.
Knowledge is power. Profit is peace.
You deserve a business that supports your life—not one that drains you dry.
At The Beauty Boss AU, I don’t just want to help you fill your calendar.
I want to help you keep more of what you earn—and build a business that gives back to you.
So, let me ask you again: Do you know your profit margin?
If not, it’s time to find out.
I wish you success, love and happiness in all that you do!
