Why suites franchises are a bad idea
Be cautious when choosing a firm to help you through this process.  Click for a word about industry consultants.
Salon Suite industry growth - It has been estimated that roughly 30-35% of all cosmetology professionals are currently operating independent of a traditional salon facility, but if industry growth continues, that number is expected to increase to  75% within the next five years.  The majority of these operators are projected to be salon suites tenants, so the opportunity for suites developers is outstanding.

Salon suites facilities are relatively easy to operate, but  difficult to plan and execute. Often, the difference between a successful business and a disastrous failure is in the planning, design and initial implementation work that is done before ever opening your doors for business.

Suites Consulting Group has been developing salon suites facilities longer than any franchise, and longer than all other industry consultants combined. Our experience can help you too.
