Whether you are a professional who has been in the beauty business for years or someone who is relatively fresh talent with a go-getter attitude, this is the best work environment possible. Freedom to be as creative as you want. I have been here since we opened and will continue to be here for years to come.”

    • Benefits of salon ownership  

      • Why should I lease my own suite?
        Becoming an independent salon owner allows you to create your own business identity with your existing client base. It also enables you to increase your earning potential, set your own hours, and build stronger relationships with clients.
      • What is my earning potential as an independent salon owner?
        That is up to you. On average, independent salon owners make anywhere from 25 to 65 percent more than they did as employees in traditional salons.
      • Is leasing a suite at Salon Ventures the same thing as “booth rental”?
        Not at all. You’re not renting a chair in a common area. You actually have a key to your own private suite. 

    • Why Salon Ventures? 

      • Why should I lease my own suite at Salon Ventures?
        Salon Ventures is a concept designed for experienced beauty professionals who want to break out of the traditional salon environment. If you have the experience and client base to start your own business, Salon Ventures is for you.  When you lease a suite at Salon Ventures, you get to keep all of your commissions, set your own hours, sell your own products, and be your own boss.

    • How it works

      • How will Salon Ventures help me grow my business?
        You have probably already built your client base with repeat business and referrals. Salon Ventures also offers you a presence on SalonVentures.com. You may perform any other promotional or marketing activities at your discretion.
      • Do I pay a percentage of my sales to Salon Ventures?
        No. You charge your own prices for the services and products you offer and keep whatever you make.
      • What other costs (besides rent) are there to start my business?
        Other costs are minimal. You will need your state business license, which costs about $100. Each salon owner also needs liability insurance, which typically costs about $1/day. 

        In addition to the other benefits of owning your own business, it’s important to keep in mind that suppliers often have special offers and discounts when you purchase salon materials in bulk.  These special offers and discounts may help to offset startup costs.
