Young entrepreneur opens Fadezone – Barber Style in Güssing!

A new hairdressing salon opened its doors in Güssing on August 27, 2025. Antonio Solinas, who is only 20 years old, has founded “Fadezone”, a barber and hairdressing salon that appeals not only to men but also to women. After training and numerous further training courses, including institutions such as the Prebio hairdressing school and the Schwarzkopf Academy, Antonio dares to take the step into self-employment. “The craft is in my blood,” he said at the opening, which was celebrated by a large number of friends and prominent guests, including local politicians Michael Gmeindl and Vinzenz Knor. Support also comes from Silvia Weber, an experienced master hairdresser who has over 30 years in the industry.

But what does it actually take to open a hair salon? According to selbststaendigkeit.de, a sound business concept, sufficient equity capital and a good location are crucial. In Austria, a master's certificate is traditionally required to run a salon. Alternatively, founders can also work with an exemption or an authorization to practice in accordance with Section 7b of the Crafts Code. Particularly noteworthy is the need for a thorough market analysis and a solid customer approach in order to address the appropriate target groups and thus position yourself in the competitive environment.

The path to independence

Antonio has carefully considered the questions that every new business start-up should have. With the “Fadezone” concept, he not only promises quality and individual advice, but also tailors the salon to the wishes of his customers. Not only classic haircuts are offered, but also additional services that offer modern customers a high level of flexibility. Expanded offerings, such as cosmetics or manicure, could also be used as a competitive advantage, as firma.de notes.

The challenges of starting a business are diverse and require good organizational skills and physical resilience. While the legal requirements must be observed when setting up a business, it is also important to choose the right legal form. Antonio has decided to start a sole proprietorship and is guided by the experiences of his mother, who runs a coffee house in the city. Your advice is invaluable, especially during the first steps into self-employment.

Opening times and future prospects

“Fadezone” is open from Tuesday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is already enjoying widespread demand. The young entrepreneurs bring a breath of fresh air to the region and show that self-employment is possible even at a young age. With a monthly net salary of between 1,500 and 3,500 euros for self-employed master hairdressers, the potential for good business is there, especially in a city like Güssing, where the community supports each other.

The commitment and vision of Antonio Solinas are clear signs that a well-thought-out plan and solid training provide the best conditions for the success of a hair salon. With the opening of “Fadezone”, he proved that young entrepreneurs in the region are not only brave, but can also implement good ideas.
