How My Salon Suite® Supports Beauty, Health, and Wellness Pros Impacted by Natural Disasters

Record 2024 Disaster Relief Sets the Stage for Continued Support as 2025 Hurricane Season Advances

CARROLLTON, Texas — My Salon Suite®, a salon suite franchise focused on providing beauty, health, and wellness professionals a personal space to build their business, is spotlighting the power of community support through its Suite Relief Disaster Relief Program. In 2024, the program reached its most impactful year to date, distributing $143,870 in aid to over 330 Members affected by disasters across the country. As the 2025 hurricane season ramps up, the brand answers key questions about the program, the stories behind it, and how the community can continue to help.

What is the Suite Relief Disaster Relief Program?
Founded in 2020 in partnership with PBA Charities, the Suite Relief Disaster Relief Program was specifically designed to provide emergency financial support to My Salon Suite Members impacted by natural disasters.

What is the impact of the program?
Since its inception, the program has provided more than $252,370 in relief to over 470 Members facing hardship from natural disasters. In 2024 alone, $143,870 was distributed to more than 330 Members nationwide–making it the program’s most impactful year to date. In comparison, 2023 saw $10,000 distributed to Members after devastating hurricanes hit parts of North Carolina and Florida.

Who has been helped?
Among the recipients the Suite Relief Disaster Relief Program has supported is Elsa, a stylist from Largo, Florida, who lost her home, car, and pets in a 2023 hurricane. She used a $1,000 grant from the program to purchase a new vehicle and begin rebuilding. Her location owner, Becky Sajeski, also provided local support, helping her team recover by waiving rent, offering laundry access, and coordinating emergency housing.

“It’s incredibly hard to describe the mental stress that happens”, said Sajeski. “Some people walked away from their homes and haven’t returned. I tried to do what I could—waived rent, helped with housing, opened the laundry to anyone without power. You just want people to know they’re supported.”

Why talk about this now?
With the 2025 hurricane season entering its peak, My Salon Suite is reminding Members and Franchise Partners of the importance of proactive disaster planning, as well as the strength of community-driven support programs like the Suite Relief Disaster Relief Program.

How can others contribute or get involved?
The Suite Relief Program is ongoing, and donations help ensure support for professionals in future emergencies. Learn more or contribute at https://www.mysalonsuite.com/about-us/suite-relief-fund/

MY SALON Suite® Turns Salon Suite Takeovers Into Rapid Franchise Growth

2025-06-15T21:34:30-04:00June 15th, 2025|Tags: , , , |

From Indiana to the Carolinas, multi-unit franchisees transform independent salons into thriving MY SALON Suite locations

CARROLLTON, Texas — MY SALON Suite®, a salon suite franchise focused on providing beauty, health, and wellness professionals a personal space to build their business, continues to expand its national footprint with acquisitions and conversions proving to be powerful catalysts for growth. From veteran franchise leaders to first-time small business owners, franchisees are finding success by converting independent locations into thriving, community-driven businesses.

Wes Snyder, a seasoned multi-brand franchisee, recently expanded his MY SALON Suite portfolio through the acquisition of two independent salon suite businesses in Indianapolis, Indiana. The newly acquired locations in West Carmel and downtown Indianapolis will now operate under the MY SALON Suite name, bringing elevated support, upgraded facilities, and increased visibility to beauty, health and wellness professionals in the area. These locations join Snyder’s existing MY SALON Suite group and complement his ownership of seven FASTSIGNS® centers, both brands under parent company Propelled Brands®.

“Acquisitions are more than just real estate plays—they’re about unlocking potential,” said Snyder. “Bringing these independent suites into the MY SALON Suite family means we can offer elevated resources, recognizable branding, and a stronger support network that empowers professionals to grow their businesses faster and more confidently.”

In Charlotte, North Carolina, multi-unit franchisees Melanie and John Ludden are scaling strategically across the region. The couple currently owns five MY SALON Suite locations in the area, with a sixth under construction. As part of their growth strategy, they recently converted an existing independent salon suite business into a MY SALON Suite at Concord Mills, leveraging the brand’s tools and support to streamline the transition. They’ve also expanded in Columbia, South Carolina, with two locations open and a third underway.

“Our first conversion was a game-changer,” said Melanie Ludden. “By taking over an existing salon and bringing it to life under the MY SALON Suite name, we’ve quickly scaled our portfolio and created more value for our Members and customers alike.”

Snyder and the Luddens’ approach to scaling their business portfolios aligns with MY SALON Suite’s broader expansion strategy, showcasing the viability of converting independent businesses into high-performing franchises. The model not only drives market share, but also opens doors for professionals ready to scale their own success stories.

“Conversions and acquisitions are a fast track to success in this industry, and Wes, Melanie, and John are proof of what’s possible,” said Mark Jameson, chief development officer of Propelled Brands. “Expanding into new markets through strategic takeovers like these demonstrates the scalability of the MY SALON Suite model and its appeal to multi-unit owners looking to diversify their portfolios with a high-growth, semi-absentee opportunity. Independent salon suite owners who are considering selling or converting can reach out to us to learn more about how we can support their next chapter.”

Building on its momentum, MY SALON Suite has continued expanding through multi-unit deals, most recently signing two 3-pack agreements in Florida. As more independent suite owners seek an exit or a growth partner, MY SALON Suite offers a proven framework for conversion, equipping new and existing franchisees with everything from operational playbooks to national marketing support. The brand is actively seeking qualified franchisees with a focus on existing multi-unit owners to join its over 175 Franchisee Groups and more than 360 locations. The attractive semi-absentee model offers small business owners the opportunity to expand and diversify while focusing their attention on other areas.

Independent Survey Shows Female Franchise Owners Are Highly Satisfied with MY SALON Suite’s Performance

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 been recognized by Franchise Business Review as a 2025 Top Franchise for Women. Only 100 brands were named to the annual list of award winners.

“Women play an essential role in the success of the MY SALON Suite network, and it’s inspiring to see them recognized in such a meaningful way, especially as this honor is driven by franchisee feedback,” said Mark Jameson, chief development officer of Propelled Brands. “With women owning over 30% of franchises across the industry, MY SALON Suite is committed to supporting and championing female entrepreneurs as they build successful businesses.”

Franchise Business Review, a research firm that conducts independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only ratings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes its rankings of top franchises semi-annually in its Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as industry reports throughout the year that highlight research on the top franchises in specific sectors.

MY SALON Suite was among 350 franchise brands, representing nearly 9,000 female franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research on the Top Franchises for Women. MY SALON Suite’s franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training & support, financial opportunity and work/life balance.

“Franchising is a fantastic option for women seeking business ownership on a full or part-time basis,” said Michelle Rowan, president and COO of Franchise Business Review. “With so many franchise opportunities to choose from, it’s critical to do in-depth research to understand how satisfied current female franchise owners are with the training and support, work/life balance, financial opportunity, culture and leadership of any brand they’re considering before making an investment. When you look at the brands on this year’s list of the Top Franchises for Women, 88% of women said they enjoy being part of their franchise organizations and 3 out of 4 said they would recommend their franchise to others—powerful feedback for women considering the transition to business ownership.”

MY SALON Suite’s survey data showed the following:

  • 97% of franchisees agree that their fellow franchisees are supportive of each other;
  • 90% of franchisees agree that they are supported by the brand;
  • 91% of franchisees agree that they enjoy being a part of this organization.

“After over two decades owning an insurance agency, I wanted to expand my business portfolio. I searched for a business model that fit my lifestyle and budget, and through my discovery, I felt at home and welcomed by MY SALON Suite,” said Ruby Massey, MY SALON Suite multi-unit franchisee in Memphis, Tennessee. “Overall, MY SALON Suite offers the best product at a comparable price, and I’m excited to have just opened my second location with the support and resources of the brand behind me.”

Recognition highlights founder Vee Vargas’s commitment to promoting self-care through personalized experiences, community empowerment and sustainability 

CARROLLTON, Texas — MY SALON Suite®, a salon suite franchise focused on providing beauty, health and wellness professionals a personal space to build their business, announced today Be Here salon, a luxury, inclusive salon experience founded by industry veteran Vee Vargas, has been named a finalist for the prestigious “2025 Most Inspiring Salon” award by the North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA).  This recognition highlights Be Here’s commitment to the level of care and service that MY SALON Suite® champions for professionals.

A seasoned hairstylist of 13 years, Vargas joined the MY SALON Suite network when she founded Be Here in Oakland, California, launching her dream to create a suite space that offers a tranquil, customized salon experience that prioritizes relaxation and personalization. Beyond hairstyling, Vargas has dedicated her career to fostering inclusivity and accessibility within the beauty industry. In 2022, she launched Be Infinite, a non-profit cosmetology apprenticeship program designed to provide marginalized communities with pathways to economic empowerment and creative expression. The program integrates trauma-informed teaching and an inclusive curriculum, ensuring the next generation of beauty professionals is equipped with both technical skills and emotional intelligence. Donations to the cause can be made at https://givebutter.com/c/beinfinite333.

“Creating a salon environment where patrons can take a step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life has been extremely rewarding for me, and MY SALON Suite has given me the freedom to build a business that truly reflects my vision of self-care and inclusivity,” said Vargas. “Beyond the service experience we provide, I’m deeply grateful to have a platform that allows me to extend my impact beyond hairstyling and support my community through Be Infinite. This recognition from NAHA reinforces the importance of community involvement and investing in future industry leaders and it is a tremendous honor to be a finalist.”

Outside of Be Infinite, Vargas is committed to social responsibility through Be Here’s status as a Certified Sustainable Salon, operating under the mission of “Keeping People and the Planet Beautiful.” The salon is dedicated to diverting over 95% of its waste from landfills. In 2024 alone, Be Here successfully prevented more than 45 pounds of beauty waste from ending up in landfills.

“Vee has gone above and beyond to build a salon that prioritizes wellness and community impact,” said Susan Boresow, president of MY SALON Suite. “I’m proud that NAHA has recognized Vee and Be Here for their impact beyond providing beauty services and look forward to how she will continue to grow in her mission.”

For over three decades, NAHA has honored the visionaries shaping the future of beauty and wellness. As the industry’s most prestigious competition, NAHA celebrates the artistry, skill and innovation of North America’s top hair professionals. Be Here is among five finalists selected for the “Most Inspiring Salon” category. Hosted by the Professional Beauty Association (PBA), winners will be announced on June 1, 2025, at the awards ceremony at Chapin Theater in the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
