What is a salon suite rental?
Running a salon suite business is essentially like owning a mini salon within a salon. You get your own private space, complete with four walls, behind a door that you can close. Many professionals choose salon suites for lease because they give them the freedom to work alone. They pay rent to someone else but are their own boss.
Stated another way, picture in your mind a traditional beauty salon; now shrink that salon down to one room and one stylist. That is a salon suite rental. When you rent a salon suite, you are renting a room in a building which is owned by someone else, but the business your operate is your business with your name on the door.
It is the future of the beauty and wellness industry, simply because it is so affordable.
What is a salon booth rental?
A salon booth rental is a type of salon in which stylists rent out individual “chairs” or salon stations from a salon owner. The establishment may or may not be stocked with supplies—this varies by salon. But a hairstylist can expect at least a salon chair, a mirror, a hair-washing sink with running water, and basic workplace requirements (e.g., Wi-Fi, heat, and air conditioning).
With this scenario, most often you are an independent contractor, running your own business within a larger business. The payments you receive are yours to keep, but you will pay a rental fee for the booth.
What is a salon chair rental?
Salons typically operate in one of two ways. They either hire hairdressers as employees to work within the salon or rent out the salon chairs to hairdressers who operate as independent contractors.
If you decide on a salon chair rental, you’ll be asked to sign a rental agreement and will need to pay rent to the salon owner to use the space. Once you agree and sign the contract, you’ll run your business out of the rented space in the owner’s salon.
Looking at all of this a different way, the main difference between a salon suite, salon booth, and salon chair is one of scale and size. Salon suites are larger and autonomous; while booths and chairs are in a communal space among other stylists/independent contractors.
