The Growing Popularity Of Salon Suites

The popularity of salon suites has grown significantly among beauty professionals, especially in the last decade. This innovative coworking model allows hairstylists, barbers, estheticians, nail artists, lash artists and other beauty professionals to rent their own private suite within a larger salon complex which gives them with the independence and flexibility to manage their businesses safely, easily, and affordably.

One of the biggest advantages of the salon suite business model is the freedom it offers to the beauty professional. It gives them full control over their schedule, pricing, and services. They can grow their client base and can establish their own unique brand and identity, rather than relying on a salon owner to do it for them. This level of autonomy empowers them to create a much more personalized experience for their clientele.

Additionally, the salon suite model fosters an environment that encourages creative expression and individuality. In traditional salon settings, professionals are often limited to the aesthetic design choices dictated by the salon owner. One of the biggest opportunities salon suites provide beauty professionals with is the opportunity to personalize their own suite in a way that reflects their professional and personal brand. It also gives their clients a much more intimate, one-on-one experience at each and every appointment they have. Professionals know their clients best, and tailoring the business environment to meet their needs can lead to more sustainable and successful business ventures.

The salon suite business model has gained immense popularity among beauty professionals due to the freedom, cost savings, and specialization it offers. If you are a stylist or beauty professional seeking to take control of your career, a salon suite may be the ideal solution for you. It provides an avenue to thrive and flourish in the beauty industry while enjoying the benefits of self-reliance and personalization. If you are an investor, entrepreneur, or someone who is simply tired of working for someone else, opening an IMAGE Studios salon suite franchise is a great way to help other succeed while also building a business that is simple, stable, and scalable.

Salon Suite Industry 10 Year Growth Projections 2023-2033

The salon suite industry has been around for many years and continues to grow at a rapid pace. A decade ago (around 2013 at the time of this blog post) there were around 300 salon suite locations across the country. Fast forward ten years to 2023 and there are now over 3,000 locations (a 900% growth rate!) of franchise and independent salon suite locations in operation.

So, where does the salon suite industry go from here? How many beauty professionals are currently in a salon suite? How much development opportunity is still out there? And what does the next ten years have in store for salon suites?

It’s tough to predict future growth and performance of any industry but in order to do that we look at past growth and forecast out into the future to best predict what will happen next in this burgeoning industry.

Let’s take a look at the past: in 2013 there were approximately 300 salon suite locations in operation. On average, a salon suite is 4,500 – 7,000 square feet or more and houses anywhere from 24 to 40 or more individual salon “suites” or “studios” that are leased back to beauty professionals. That equates to around ~11,000 beauty professionals who were working in a salon suite. The total addressable market, or “TAM”, of beauty professionals in 2013 was around 1,100,000 professionals which means only ~1% or so of the industry was operating out of a salon suite.

As of 2023 there are 3,000 salon suites in operation, housing approximately ~95,000 professionals (or 6.7%) of the 1,400,000 beauty professionals in the US. The beauty industry is growing at a healthy 12-13% annually and is an 88 billion dollar industry.

It is estimated that over the next ten years the salon suite industry will continue to grow at a healthy pace with an additional 6,000 locations opened by 2033 (bringing the total number of salon suites in operation to 9,000 or more) with ~272,000 beauty professionals running their own business out of a salon suite. It’s projected that in 2033 the beauty industry will have 2,000,000 or more professionals, which means approximately 13.6% of all beauty professionals working in the industry will be operating out of a salon suite.

IMAGE Studios is poised to take advantage of the tremendous growth that is ahead by opening flagship stores in major markets across the country. We are always looking for confident, capable people who want to realize their dream of becoming an entrepreneur while helping others succeed by opening their own business.
