Becoming an independent salon owner allows you to create your own business identity with your existing client base. It also enables you to increase your earning potential, set your own hours, and build stronger relationships with clients.

That is up to you. On average, independent salon owners make anywhere from 25 to 65 percent more than they did as employees in traditional salons.

Not at all. You’re not renting a chair in a common area. You actually have a key to your own private studio. No one but you has access to your studio, your supplies, or your equipment.

Salon Ventures is a new concept designed for experienced beauty professionals who want to break out of the traditional salon environment. If you have the experience and client base to start your own business, Salon Ventures is for you.  When you lease a studio at Salon Ventures, you get to keep all of your commissions, set your own hours, sell your own products, and be your own boss.

When you lease a studio from Salon Ventures, all you have to do is pay your weekly rent.  We provide all of the equipment, furnishings, maintenance, and amenities to help ensure that your business is successful.

Salon Ventures does more than just lease studio space. We also help our salon owners register with the state, obtain their tax IDs and insurance, and establish themselves on the internet.

You have probably already built your client base with repeat business and referrals. Salon Ventures also offers you a presence on SalonVentures.com. You may perform any other promotional or marketing activities at your discretion.

No. You charge your own prices for the services and products you offer and keep whatever you make.

Other costs are minimal. You will need your state business license, which costs about $100. Each salon owner also needs liability insurance, which typically costs about $1/day. 

In addition to the other benefits of owning your own business, it’s important to keep in mind that suppliers often have special offers and discounts when you purchase salon materials in bulk.  These special offers and discounts may help to offset startup costs.

Salon Ventures offers both single and double studios. Single studios range from 90-120 square feet, and double studios range from 150-180 square feet. Double studios may be leased by an individual beauty professional or by two professionals who wish to go into business together.

Single studios lease in the mid to high $100s per week. Single studios with a window lease in the low to mid $200s per week.  Double studios lease in the mid to high $300s per week.  Double studios may be leased by an individual beauty professional or by two professionals who wish to go into business together.  Prices are negotiable.
