Why Booth Renting in a Salon is a Dead End Business Decision

By February 15, 2023Salon Spa Blog
Booth renting in a salon, the traditional for beauticians, is a dead end business decision which only benefits the salon owner.

We see no reason to beat around the bush in this matter: booth renting in a salon is, in our opinion, a dead-end business decision which gives you very little opportunity towards financial freedom.

How’s that for blunt?

We are Salon & Spa Galleria, and we are the leaders in salon booth rental opportunities in the Fort Worth area.  Don’t mistake what we do with booth renting in a salon owned by someone else.  We are talking about apples and oranges here, folks, and we will now explain. Call us at 817-917-1416 for more information and to arrange for a tour of one of our twenty-two Fort Worth area locations.

Booth renting in a salon.

The key to this section, and to the title of this article, is booth renting in a SALON owned by someone else. This has been the traditional business model for hair stylists, nail specialists, massage therapists, and microblading experts since time began. Traditional beauty shops have a number of “stations,” and each station is “rented” by a professional beauty expert i.e. hair stylist.  That stylist is actually working for commissions, usually in the 40% range, and the bulk of the profits, about 60%, are going to the owner of the salon.

It’s a safe gig for the stylists, but they will never get rich doing it.  And, it’s a great deal for the salon owner, always has been, always will be.

Booth renting in a salon suite rental agency

Contrast that traditional approach with booth renting in a salon suite rental agency, like Salon & Spa Galleria.  With our business model, you rent a salon suite, for as little as $75 per week, but you are the owner of the mini, one-person business, and you keep all of the profits.

But, what about all of the overhead expenses, if you are the owner of the business?  With our business model, 90% of your overhead is included in that $75 per week rental fee.

Read that sentence again.

With our business model, we include the cost of utilities, the cost of WiFi, the cost of your own web page, the cost of security monitoring, the cost of just about everything other than the cost of your business license, the cost of any product you plan on selling, and the cost of decorating your salon suite rental.

Ownership vs being an employee/independent contractor

With the traditional approach, you are basically an employee in the salon you work, and you will always be an employee, working for commissions.

In our approach, you are the owner of the business, and you will always be the owner, reaping the rewards of your hard work, and keeping 100% of the profits.

Which sounds better to you?
