What does salon suites rental even mean?

A rose by any other name is still a rose, to borrow from The Bard. Salon suites rental is known by many other names i.e. salon suites, salons for rent, salon studio, salon space, but they all mean the same thing and they all refer to the hottest trend in the beauty and wellness industry.

A salon suite is basically a mini salon that lets beauty professionals from all types of industries (MUAs, stylists, estheticians, etc.) rent their own small salon, spa, or shop without the risks, overhead, and expenses that come with owning an entire building.

So, in other words, a salon suite is like a place that you’re renting from a landlord—the salon, spa, or shop that’s within that space is yours and you’re in charge of what happens in there. The room itself, well, that belongs to someone else, namely the landlord.  In our particular situation, we are the landlord at Hill Country Salon Suites, and everyone who rents a salon suite is the owner of that particular salon.

Recent industry date shows that 19% of beauty professionals are owners of a salon housed in a salon suite rental and that number is on the rise.  This is the hottest ticket in the industry and for good reason: it makes salon ownership affordable for the average beauty and wellness professional.

What is your career goal?

This, then, is the key question.  Have you ever dreamed of owning beauty salon, hair salon, spa, nail salon, or any other beauty/wellness business? If the answer is no, then a salon suite rental is not in your future.  If, however, and we suspect we are talking about a very large percentage of you, your dream was to one day be in charge of your professional future, then you really need to do the research, talk to those who are currently renting a salon suite, and see if you can make it happen for you.

Crunch the numbers.

The numbers do not lie.  Let’s say you are an independent contractor working in a beauty salon owned by someone else, and you are working for 40% commission.  Under that arrangement, if you are averaging $50 per customer, and you see ten customers each day, that means 40% of $500, or $200, per day in your pocket.

If you own the salon, in a salon suites rental, it means $500 per day in your pocket, minus operating expenses.

Which sounds better to you?

But, what about those operating expenses?

At most salon suite rental companies, most of the operating expenses are included in the rental fee, which can be as low as $100 per week. Those amenities include free utilities, free Wi-Fi, free laundry, free web page, and others, meaning that your operating expenses will consist, mainly, of the cost of products you plan on selling in your salon, insurance, and whatever marketing you plan on doing.

Crunch the numbers . . . $2500 per week, fifty-two weeks, $130,000 gross income.

Or $1000 per week, fifty-two weeks, $52,000.

Which sounds better to you?
