The hottest trend in the beauty industry, renting a beauty salon suite, is one which is also very misunderstood, especially regarding the total cost of a salon suite rental. Hopefully, this article will help you to calculate the cost of a salon booth rental, or salon chair rental, so you can make an informed decision regarding whether it is right for you.
We are Salon & Spa Galleria, with seventeen salon suite rental locations in the Fort Worth Metro area. Call us at 972-691-7300 for more information about salon suites and to arrange for a tour of one of our facilities.
Now, let’s break down the costs of a beauty salon suite.
The up-front rental cost of a beauty salon suite
The weekly or monthly rental cost of a salon suite rental will vary from agency to agency, and will also vary depending on the size of the salon suite rental, so there is no set price to quote here. Prices begin at $75 per week at Salon & Spa Galleria, but that price will rise depending upon how large a salon suite or salon booth you rent.
Our suggestion: call around to various rental agencies in your city. You will quickly get a feel for what the industry standard is regarding rental costs.
Secondary costs to consider for a beauty salon suite
We can divide this category into two separate categories, initial secondary costs and ongoing secondary costs.
Initial secondary costs would include the following:
- Business license
- Business cards
- Website for your business
- Decorating costs for your salon suite
- Renting or purchasing furniture for your suite
Ongoing secondary costs will include:
- Utilities
- WiFi
- Bookkeeping
- Legal fees
- Taxes
- Insurance
All of these fees and monthly expenses are dependent upon the particular area you live. It is impossible for an article, written in Fort Worth, Texas, to accurately state what any of these expenses will cost in Des Moines, Iowa, or Sioux City, South Dakota, but one rule of thumb to consider is this: operating cost, not including the monthly rental fee, is approximately $1.10 per square foot per month.
Our rule of thumb and suggestion: predict high, be happy with lower than the prediction!
What Salon & Spa Galleria has to offer you
Shop around! We say that because rental agencies vary in the amount of amenities which are included in the rental fee. Salon & Spa Galleria included utilities in our rental fee. We include WiFi, laundry facilities, and a web page. We have furniture if needed, and 24/7 access and security monitoring. Please note, the amenities offered by Salon & Spa Galleria are on the high-end. You will not find such great value from every salon suite rental agency, but we do highly recommend that you do your due diligence and look for the best deal possible.
So, bottom line is this: the total cost of renting a beauty salon suite will vary from state to state and from agency to agency, but good opportunities like Salon & Spa Galleria are available if you look hard enough.
