When searching for a real estate investment franchise for salon suites that will bring in multi-unit rental income, look no further than Salons by JC.

Salons by JC is an integral part of the 46-billion-dollar salon industry and is on the forefront of the dynamic salon suite business. Salons by JC provides high-end salon suite space to licensed professionals including cosmetologists, nail technicians, massage therapists, aestheticians, and others in the beauty and wellness industry.

Why Franchise with Us

One common question asked is “Do I need salon industry experience?” – and the answer is no. The Salons by JC customer is the beauty and wellness professional and not the beauty consumer. As a franchisee, you will be in the business of identifying and attracting beauty professionals to lease and operate a fully independent business. Our Salons Fundamentals Course and the proprietary marketing and operations plans will assist you in managing the location with minimal staffing requirements.

The salon suite concept has evolved into a lucrative business by offering services and value to the attending salon professionals. The typical suite owner is well-established with usually more than 3 years of experience in their field. Commonly, each suite owner has a stable and regular list of clients that can approach 200 or more people. The suite owners and their guests value the Salons by JC atmosphere because it offers the following amenities and features.

Beauty and wellness professionals have the simplicity of moving into a salon suite that is equipped with everything they need to start a successful small business. Investing in a semi-absentee owner franchise for salons like Salons by JC will not only give entrepreneurs a passive income opportunity, it will also be a solution to opening your own business in the beauty and wellness industry.

The Brand Difference

The Salons by JC concept is simple and straightforward. Salons by JC secures between 6,000 and 10,000 square feet of A+ retail space in trade areas.

Each location is master planned to accommodate as many as 50 salon professionals in a setting that is both elegant and functional. Each stylist is provided with a turnkey furniture and fixture package along with essential business tools to manage and coordinate a full-service salon. Our salon model is distinguished from the competition by the presence of a trained salon concierge who provides service to both the suite owners and their guests. A second and equally distinctive feature is the ability for the suite owners to customize and individualize their suites in a way that reflects their personality and their business.

The interior construction and design are managed by a well-known national firm that reinforces brand standards while incorporating local market elements.

The overall layout of each facility has the ability to accent the individuality of each salon professional. High-level finish-out details and stylish interior design elements convey a sense of being in a luxury resort setting or a fashionable boulevard. Architectural features include expansive hallways, high ceilings, detailed trim work, and elegant lighting features. The overall effect creates an impression of openness while providing the sense of privacy demanded by the patrons.
