What is a beauty salon suite? We have all heard of a beauty salon, but is a beauty salon suite different?
Much so, and we will discuss that difference in this article by Hill Country Salon Suites, serving the Greater Georgetown area with our twenty-six luxury salon suites. Call us at 512-380-2500 for current pricing information and availability of our luxury salon suites.
Beauty salon suite vs beauty salon.
The difference is a matter of scale. A traditional beauty salon is a multi-person enterprise with an owner and multiple beauty stylists working at individual workstations. In addition, there is almost always a reception and a waiting room.
A beauty salon suite is a much smaller enterprise, usually the owner of the business serving as the hair stylist, or nail stylist, or massage professional, with no receptionist, one or two workstations, and perhaps no waiting area other than a chair off to the side.
Commission vs 100% of profits.
Traditionally, the worker bees at the multiple workstations, are independent contractors working for approximately 40% commission. The other 60% goes to the owner of the salon. In the new business model of salon suites, 100% of the profits go to the owner who is also the stylist. It is the difference between making sixty, seventy-thousand dollars in income as the worker bee, and making six figures as the owner, and the real great news is the affordability, making it very viable for people with practically no investment capital.
