How to Start a Salon Suite Business
Salon suites are an amazing way to make money while doing something you 
love. How can you start a salon suite business? And why would you want to 
start the business in the first place? In this article, we answer all your 
questions.
You will enjoy earning more than at a traditional salon or spa. You will have 
lower overhead costs since you won’t need expensive equipment or high-end 
facilities, just some basic tools and supplies.
One of the biggest benefits of being self-employed is choosing when and 
where you work each day. If this is important to you, starting your own salon 
suite business could give you that freedom every day. Hence, no one will tell 
you when it’s time for lunch or how long your break should be.
How to Start a Salon Suite Business
Here are tips to help you start your salon suite business.
Do Your Research
Before you dive into opening a salon suite, it’s important to do your research. 
First, check out local salons and spas to see what they charge for their 
services. Then, look at other businesses that provide similar services in your 
area. How much do they charge? What type of client base do they have? 
What kinds of advertising do they use?
Make a Business Plan
You don’t need a formal plan, but having one will help you stay organized 
and focused on your goals and provide direction for future growth. A good 
business plan should include your mission statement, goals, market research, 
and financial projections.
Find a Location
Once you understand what kind of business you want to open, it’s time 
to find a location for it. Try starting by looking at commercial spaces in 
shopping centers and strip malls where there is already an established 
customer base. Once you’ve found an ideal space, ensure it meets all the 
requirements for your business type. Hence, you won’t waste time or 
money trying to make changes later on down the road.
Choose Your Products and Services
Consider what types of services you want to offer and build your menu of 
services. It is always best to start with the services your clients know and 
love you for today, and branch out from there.
Decide on Pricing and Payment Options
Once you have decided on the services you want to offer, it is time to 
determine how much they will cost and how clients will pay for them. 
Determining these details upfront will save you time later  when 
marketing  your business.
Get a License
You must have a cosmetologist’s license to operate a salon suite. Most states 
require an apprenticeship or some other experience before you can take the 
exam. Your local cosmetology board can tell you what’s required in your state.
Advertise Your Salon Suite Business
Once everything is in order, it’s time to spread the word about your new 
business. Start by building out your social media presence on Instagram and 
Facebook. Word of mouth and referrals are another great way to build your 
business. Tell everyone you know about your new business, and ask your 
current clients for referrals. Even consider offering free or discounted services 
to clients who refer new clients to you.
