What is a salon suite?

A salon suite, sometimes called a salon studio, is a private space where an independent beauty or wellness professional can operate their own business and serve clients.

Unlike working from a chair in a traditional shared salon, a private salon suite gives you your own dedicated space and greater control over your schedule, pricing, products, environment and client experience.

Opening a traditional salon can require locating commercial space, building out the property, purchasing equipment and managing many of the responsibilities associated with an entire salon facility.

A private salon studio provides another path to independence.
