Are you ready to take the next step in your career with a salon suite rental? You’re not alone! More and more beauty professionals are opting to lease a salon studio because of all the incredible benefits that come with it. Not only do you get the privacy of your own space, but you also get to be your own boss, set your own schedule, and have complete creative freedom.
Before you take the leap, you’ll need to find the best salon suite for your business needs. That’s where a salon suite tour comes into play.
Here’s everything you need to know about setting up a salon suite tour.
How to Find Salon Suites for Lease
Ask Fellow Beauty Pros
One of the best ways to find a salon suite for lease is to talk with other beauty professionals and ask them if they know of any salon studios in the area. You can also reach out to established independent professionals in your industry on social media platforms. Learning about their experiences firsthand can help you find the best space for your beauty business needs.
Online Search
The quickest way to find salon suite rentals in your area is through an online search. You’ll be able to see what locations are available as well as what amenities they offer. Most will have the option to book a tour directly on their website or a phone number to call and schedule one.
Preparing for a Salon Suite Tour
After researching potential salon suites for lease, narrow your list and contact the salon suite provider to book a tour.
Before visiting the space, come up with a list of questions to ask while you’re there. Prepare a checklist of everything you want and need beforehand to remember during the tour.
What to Expect on a Salon Suite Tour
While every salon suite tour will be unique, you can expect the following structure at most places:
- A welcoming and informative person to answer all of your questions
- A detailed walkthrough of the location and available salon suites
- A discussion of the general lease terms and conditions
- An outline of the amenities and additional services offered
- A possible meeting with other salon professionals in the building (and/or a look at other styled spaces already up and running)
Questions to Ask During a Salon Suite Tour
Having a list of questions for your tour guide will help ensure you get all the information you need during your visit. Here are five essential questions to ask.
- What are the terms and the length of the lease? Before signing a lease, make sure you have all the details nailed down, like the length of the lease term, if there is a security deposit, and what happens if you need to break the lease.
- What’s included in the price? Check if utilities, Wi-Fi, and maintenance are included in the rent. Many salon suites also include essential equipment like a styling chair and shampoo bowl/chair (or sink).
- Can I customize the salon suite? Some salon suites have pre-built cabinetry and shelving, while others allow you complete customization to create your own vibe.
- What other perks do you offer? Some salon suite rentals provide the space, and that’s it. Others, like Salon Republic, include supportive business amenities, such as free technical and business education, an on-site salon manager, complimentary towel service, and an in-salon beauty supply store.
- What hours is the salon suite available? Ask if the space is only available during specific hours or if you’ll have 24/7 access to your salon studio to create your own schedule and come in whenever you want.
Making a Decision
Once you’ve toured various salon suites, it’s time to evaluate your options. When deciding on a space, consider the answers to your questions, along with the location, pricing, and lease terms. Compare the supportive amenities that each space provides to determine how much of your time can be spent focusing on your clients.
