Before you buy a salon suites franchise, read this.

​​Math is the worst enemy of the salon suites franchisor. Salon suites facilities are a great investment, but paying for a salon suites franchise is an enormous waste of money.  We'll show you why, and how to save thousands. Click below for more information:
Why suites franchises are a bad idea
The salon suites concept represents the best known and most ubiquitous suites business, but Suites Consulting Group can also help with the development of co-working business suites, tattoo suites, pet grooming suites, etc.  Most non-salon options offer a lower development cost option...ask us how.   
Salon Suites 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.
