Bella Salon Suites Sunrise

Bella Salon Suites is a suite-rental business. Rather than employing staff, it leases private suites to independent beauty professionals, who run their own businesses from them. The business has more than 20 suites across three locations: Sunrise (Sawgrass Mills), Coral Springs (Coral Landings III) and Boca Raton (Boca Valley Plaza).

Every suite is fitted out for the trade it houses. Hair suites come with a shampoo basin, a styling chair, a floor-length mirror, a wheeled tool trolley, a dryer with a hood and made-to-order cabinetry. Nail suites are equipped with a pedicure chair that offers massage, a manicure station with seating, a wheeled nail trolley, a basin, a mirror and cabinets. Esthetician suites include a hydraulic skin or spa bed, a mirror, a basin and made-to-order cabinetry. Tenants are free to paint and decorate their suite in whatever style suits them.

Leases run month to month with no annual contract. The security deposit is two weeks of rent, refundable when the tenant leaves, and no credit check is required. Tenants keep all of their earnings and set their own prices, hours and products.

Suites are accessible around the clock. The main doors are unlocked to the public seven days a week until 9:00pm, and a call box handles entry after that. Shared spaces include hallway and common-area surveillance, seated common areas, a tenant break room with a fridge, microwave and sink, and a large on-site laundry that tenants may use free of charge. Clients can park on site, and an on-site property manager is available Monday through Friday. After hours, emergencies can be reported by phone or text to the property manager at the 24/7 numbers listed for each county.

The business describes its concept as built for established professionals. According to the business, tenants can open a salon or spa in a matter of days without a large startup budget or overhead, and it describes its sites as high-traffic locations in shopping centers with anchor stores, restaurants and ample parking. As a further claim, the business says a stylist earning $6,000 a month would take home about $4,000 after suite rent, compared with about $3,025 at a traditional salon.

The business is built for independent professionals who want to run their own salon or spa, with tenants setting their own prices, hours and products.
