About MY SALON Suite
MY SALON Suite is a franchisor of turn-key salon suite facilities that lease private, fully equipped studio spaces to independent beauty professionals. The concept provides salon owners and stylists with a professional environment, private suites, shared common areas, and business support services without the overhead of building and managing their own salon. As of year-end 2025 the system operated 371 total units, of which 320 were franchised.
Franchisees develop and operate multi-suite salon facilities, typically 5,000 to 8,000 square feet, that are sub-leased to licensed beauty professionals on a monthly-rental basis. The operator manages leasing, maintenance, common-area upkeep, and select shared services while the independent stylists run their own businesses inside the private suites. Revenue is generated primarily through suite rental income rather than direct service sales.
