You've built a loyal chair. Now you want your own door, your own prices and your own schedule. Our private hair stylist suites give independent stylists and colorists a closed-door space to run their business their way, without commission splits or salon politics.
Why hairstylists choose a private suite
In a commission salon, the salon sets your prices, your products and often your hours. In a suite, those decisions are yours. You keep what you earn after one predictable lease, you choose the color line and backbar you trust, and you book the clients you want, when you want.
Clients notice the difference too. A private suite means no blow-dryers roaring at the next station, no waiting-room crowd, and your full attention from consultation to final style. For color and extension clients who sit with you for hours, that calm is a big part of why they rebook.
What to look for in a hair stylist suite
Hair services put more demands on a space than most specialties. When you tour any suite, including ours, ask about:
- Plumbing: whether a shampoo bowl is in the suite or shared, and how hot water is handled on busy days
- Electrical: enough outlets and capacity for dryers, hot tools and a steamer running together
- Lighting: bright, even light for accurate color, ideally near your station and mirror
- Ventilation: good airflow for color, lightener and chemical services
- Storage: room for color inventory, towels and retail without cluttering your client's view
- Laundry: on-site laundry saves hours a week on towels and capes
Is your clientele ready for the move?
Most stylists who succeed in a suite have a steady book before they leave. If you're not sure, our guide to going from salon employee to suite owner walks through the numbers and timeline, and how to price your services helps you set rates that cover your suite with room to grow.
Frequently asked questions
Can I bring my own products and color line?
Yes. In a private suite you choose your own products, color line and retail. That's one of the biggest reasons stylists make the switch.
Do I need my own license to rent a suite?
Yes. Suite renters are independent business owners, so you'll need your own active Florida license. Check the current requirements with the Florida DBPR.
Can I set my own hours?
Yes. Suites at Elegance come with 24-hour keyless entry, so you can serve early-morning, evening and weekend clients.
