Premier Salon Suite Franchise Receives Prestigious Recognition for Semi-Absentee Opportunity and Scalable Business Model

CARROLLTON, Texas — MY SALON Suite, a salon suite franchise focused on providing beauty, health and wellness professionals a personal space to build their business, has ranked #17 on Entrepreneur‘s second annual Top Brands for Multi-Unit Owners list. The recognition comes amid rapid franchise growth and major acquisitions by the brand, boosting the network to over 330 locations nationwide.

The ranking identifies the brands with the most appeal for prospective franchisees interested in multi-unit ownership, as well as existing franchisees looking to expand their portfolios. To determine the top brands for multi-unit ownership, Entrepreneur examined factors including available discounts to franchisees purchasing multiple units, the average number of units owned by each franchisee and the percentage of multi-unit franchisees in the brand’s network.

“Multi-unit franchising is a pathway to financial freedom, offering diversified revenue streams and reduced dependence on the performance of a single location,” said Mark Jameson, chief development officer of Propelled Brands. “Ranking amid the top 20 of such a prestigious ranking underscores the strength of the MY SALON Suite business model and the incredible growth potential of the brand. As we continue our nationwide expansion, we look forward to providing further opportunities for entrepreneurs to grow their portfolios and build their businesses.”

MY SALON Suite utilizes a semi-absentee model that is ideal for multi-unit and multi-brand franchise partners looking to diversify their portfolio without the need to oversee employees. Most owners only need to dedicate five to 10 hours a week, making the salon suite business model particularly appealing for entrepreneurs in high-demand industries, such as QSR, hospitality and storage. Approximately 80% of MY SALON Suite units are owned by multi-unit owners, and over 50% of franchisees own multiple units.

“I went into business to be able to build something that would positively impact the lives of others and build long-term financial stability for my family,” said Ray Harrigill, multi-unit and multi-brand franchisee with four open MY SALON Suite locations and six additional planned across Louisiana and Mississippi. “We were looking for a business that complemented and leveraged the skills of the team we had in place with our other businesses. We love to see our tenants and customers succeed, and we love to see our team thrive. We are excited about the growth and future of the brand.”

The initial investment for a MY SALON Suite franchise is approximately $984,999 – $1,577,236, including a $50,000 franchise fee. Ideal candidates have a net worth of $1.5 million, of which $500K is liquid. MY SALON Suite also offers special incentives for multi-unit signings, with a reduced $99,000 combined franchise fee when signing for three units or $150,000 for six units.

The Beauty of Giving Back: MY SALON Suite Raises More than $120,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® in Just One Month

2023-10-31T17:49:29-04:00October 31st, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Salon suite franchise surpasses 2023 fundraising goal, raising over $600,000 for cancer research in the last five years

CARROLLTON, Texas — MY SALON Suite, a salon suite franchise that focuses on providing stylists and beauticians a personal space to build their business and the beauty industry’s future, announced it has raised more than $120,000 this year for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through the brand’s Suite Relief Fund™, an annual fundraiser held in September in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. This marks the fifth year of the fundraiser, and the third consecutive year the brand has surpassed its goal to raise more than $120,000.

The long-standing partnership between St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and MY SALON Suite began with the launch of the Suite Relief Fund™ in 2018. Now, the Suite Relief Fund has raised over $600,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital since the partnership’s inception. Continued support through financial donations helps St. Jude provide treatment, travel, housing, and food to the more than 400,000 kids with cancer around the world each year, at no charge to their families.

“For the third consecutive year, the MY SALON Suite community rallied together to surpass our goal and raise over $120,000 for St. Jude,” said Stacy Eley, president of Suite Management Franchising. “The majority of donations this year were less than $50, the collective effort and generosity of so many of our Members and their clients adding up to a huge number. With MY SALON Suite’s ongoing growth and expanded efforts, we look forward to continuing our support of St. Jude’s life-saving mission and achieving an even greater impact in the years to come.”

MY SALON Suite surpassed its fundraising goal through generous donations from clients, members, franchise partners, vendors and the Suite Management Franchising team. Scott Neglia, owner of MY SALON Suite Port Jefferson, and Mike and Tonya Hilliard, owners of MY SALON Suite West Melbourne, were this year’s top fundraising locations. As part of the brand’s commitment to giving back, MY SALON Suite also recently honored multi-unit franchisee Randy Gunst with the B.I.G. (“Beauty in Giving”) Award during the brand’s annual convention, in recognition of his contributions to his community.

As the brand surpasses 300 locations, salon suite franchise acquires six Cirque Salon Studios

CARROLLTON, Texas — MY SALON Suite, a salon suite franchise that focuses on providing stylists and beauticians a personal space to build their business and the beauty industry’s future, announced today its acquisition of six Cirque Salon Studios in Charleston, South Carolina, continuing its aggressive new growth strategy as the brand surpasses 300 locations.

MY SALON Suite’s strategic purchase of the six Cirque Salon Studio Charleston locations marks the second major acquisition in less than two months for the brand following the recent acquisition of six salons in Reno, Nevada.

Founded in Charleston in 2008, Cirque Salon Studios is a salon suite franchise with locations across South CarolinaVirginia and Florida. The Charleston salons, which will rebrand as corporate MY SALON Suite locations, join two existing brand locations in the area to bring the MY SALON Suite footprint in the market to eight salons.

“MY SALON Suite’s acquisition of Cirque Salon Studio’s Charleston locations represents a significant opportunity for the advancement of our salons, both for our beauty professionals and their loyal customers,” said David Manzi, founder of Cirque Salon Studios. “Cirque Salon Studios has grown tremendously since our inception, and entrusting the future of these six locations to MY SALON Suite aligns perfectly with the salons’ continued development. I’m thrilled the MY SALON Suite team will implement its exceptional resources and expansive network to continue the success of the Charleston-area locations.”

As the brand surpasses 300 locations, MY SALON Suite is continuing an aggressive growth strategy with the acquisitions of 12 independent salons so far this year. In addition, the brand is on pace for a record year of franchise development with multi-unit agreements and conversions of independent salons. Through targeting acquisitions in strategic corporate markets and franchisee conversions, MY SALON Suite will continue its mission to dominate the salon industry and accelerate the growth of its footprint across the country.

“MY SALON Suite has seen tremendous franchise growth throughout 2023, and expanding our corporate presence is the logical next step in facilitating continued development,” said Mark Jameson, chief development officer of MY SALON Suite parent company, Propelled Brands. “The addition of these outstanding salons to our portfolio underscores the strength of our network and resources. Continued acquisitions and conversions will be instrumental for both franchise and corporate locations, with corporate development allowing us to build a blueprint of the process for franchisees to capitalize on, ultimately amplifying our growth potential.”

The initial investment for a MY SALON Suite franchise is approximately $823,344 – $2,241,800, including a $50,000 franchise fee. Investment is typically lower for independent salon suite operators wishing to convert and receive the brand benefits. Ideal candidates have a net worth of $1.5 million, of which $500K is liquid. Additionally, MY SALON Suite offers a special incentive for veterans and first responders, including paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers, sheriffs and firefighters, which includes a 50% reduction on the franchise fee – a savings of $25,000.
