going self-employed
With the current hardships placed on UK Salons it's unsurprising that many are choosing to adopt a "Rent-a-Chair" model.
No matter your position on this industry movement, we at Websites for Salons are here to support you with our Rent-a-Chair website package designed specifically for salon environments transitioning to this model.
FIRST A LITTLE ABOUT US
We've been in this industry for over 15 years; now more than ever we truly believe that every salon needs a strong digital presence - to compliment their business.
For as many years we have built Salon websites, software and currently help over 100 salons nationwide to fulfil there true potential - no one in the digital marketing field understands the salon industry like we do - our personalities, brand and salon vibe have to be injected into everything we do; including the marketing.
As salon owners we understand that and translate it into all of our work - so if you are in need of a website, marketing advice or digital consultancy; trust us to be sound advisors to you and your salon - you will not regret it! 😁
IF YOU ARE MOVING TO RENT-A-CHAIR YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS
You are not alone in this move, we manage over 100 UK salon websites, and are seeing an obvious shift happening across the salon industry, but that doesn't mean it's an simple change.
Transitioning to a rent-a-chair model in your salon may bring significant advantages especially considering the current financial pressures the UK salon industry is facing; however the UK Government underscores the importance of real working arrangements over mere contractual labels.
Every salon making this move, or even those who already have, need to ensure that they can prove the status of there chair renters!
HMRC:
"Just because you call someone self employed does not mean they are."
"Self-employed (Rent-a-Chair) stylist's services must be advertised through their own marketing channels, and all contact by their clients must be directly with them."
"The individual is more likely to be a worker if they do not tend to actively market their services as someone who regards themselves as self-employed to customers and clients"
gov.uk "Emplyment Status & Rights"
There are many steps to ensuring that your salon can unequivocally showcase a stylists self-employed status, however one which we can certainly help with, whilst alleviating some of the financial burden, is advertisement and contact via our Rent-a-Chair website package.
Here's how our Rent-a-Chair Website Package can help with Self-Employed status...
Exclusive Digital Presence
Each stylist can demonstrate their independence with a personalized website, reducing the risks associated with exclusivity that could otherwise hint at employee status. This package facilitates showcasing work with various salons or brands, supporting their ability to operate freely and openly in the competitive beauty industry.
Transparent Relationships
Clarity is key in defining professional relationships. Our Rent-a-Chair website package help stylists clearly outline the services they offer, independent of salon branding. This clarity is vital in reflecting the true nature of their professional engagement as dictated by official guidelines.
Legal Safeguards
Our Rent-a-Chair website package's serve as a portfolio and a business hub for stylists, which helps reinforce their status as independent contractors, protecting both them and salon owners from potential disputes over employment status.
