There seems to be considerable confusion, still, about hair salon suites. Understandable, really, since the concept/business model of renting hair salon suites is only fifteen years old. Today we will cut through the confusion and give you a very basic primer on what a hair salon rental really is and how it can benefit you.
We are Salon & Spa Galleria, serving the Greater Fort Worth Metro area with twenty-three affordable salon suite leasing locations. Call us at 817-917-1416 for more information.
What are hair salon suites?
Unlike traditional salons, which typically feature a communal layout shared among multiple professionals, a salon suite is a private, self-contained workspace available for lease. Each suite is a standalone mini salon, providing beauty professionals an exclusive space to operate independently.
Stated another way, hair salon suites, or nail salon suites, or beauty salon suites, are mini salons. Take the traditional beauty salon, with multiple stylists and one owner, and shrink it down to one stylist/owner in a single room. It is still, in every way, an ownership opportunity. The only difference between this new business model and the traditional model is one of size.
Other names for salon suites.
A rose by any other name is still a rose. Hair salon suites are also called salon suite rentals, salon room rentals, salon chair rentals, spa rentals, etc. Again, the only difference is one of scale. A beauty salon operating out of one room (suite) is still a beauty salon. It is simply a smaller hair salon than the traditional salon with five, six, or even seven workstations.
The benefits should be obvious.
This is a situation where size does matter, specifically because the salon suite business model is much less expensive than the traditional model, which involved leasing a retail building for the salon.
Break it down to dollars and cents. Leasing a retail location for multiple workstations, one which is several thousand square feet in size, will cost you thousands per month in lease payment; add to that the cost of utilities, Wi-Fi, furnishings, signage, etc., and it is easy to see why only the financially well-endowed can afford to own a hair salon. However, with salon suite rentals, you are simply renting a single room, oftentimes for less than $500 per month, which is very affordable for practically any hair or beauty professional who dreams of owning a salon.
But there are more savings to discuss. Using our own Salon & Spa Galleria rentals for an example, included in the low rent are the following:
- Free utilities
- Free Wi-fi
- Free HDTV
- Free webpage
- Free laundry facilities
- Free business plan and marketing workshops
- Free press release
All of which means additional savings of several hundred dollars per month in overhead expenses you will not have to pay.
Is it any wonder, then, that hair salon suites are so popular? This is the opportunity talented beauticians have been waiting for, the chance to own a salon and control their own destiny going forward.
