Salon Suite / Booth Rental Model
What is Salon Suite / Booth Rental Model in franchising?
A franchise model in which the franchisee operates as a real estate landlord for independent beauty professionals, including stylists, estheticians, and nail technicians, who rent private suite space within the franchisee's facility. The franchisee does not operate a salon; they operate a building full of individual micro-salons. Revenue comes from suite rental income. Brands like IMAGE Studios, Sola Salons, and MY SALON Suite operate this model. It is a semi-passive, recurring revenue business with a fundamentally different operational profile from a traditional beauty service franchise.
