Phenix Salon Suites

Phenix Salon Suites is a suite-rental property in Flower Mound. It is run by a family of salon professionals who together report more than 85 years in the salon industry, and the business was founded by Gina Rivera. The company uses a boutique model, with smaller suite properties rather than one large floor.

Tenants rent a private room that is fully enclosed. Hair suites are fitted out with a basin for washing, a seat for styling, a mobile trolley for tools, a dryer, a chair for shampooing, and a storage unit. Spa suites have a spa basin and a storage unit instead. Every suite includes a professional stylist seat, a shampoo sink and storage. Tenants are free to paint and personalize their space.

Leases are month-to-month, with no long-term commitment. Rates are described as flat, with no hidden fees, and pricing varies by location and suite size, so current figures are given on request. Utilities are included except the tenant's phone, and professional liability insurance is part of the rental.

Tenants choose their own services, book their own appointments and set their own prices. They keep the markup on any retail products they sell. Shared facilities include on-site laundry with commercial washers and dryers, a break room, complimentary WiFi for tenants and their clients, and parking on site.

The business also offers free continuing education for tenants and suite management software for rent collection and tenant payments. Limited premium suites with extra room are available, and tenants may share their suite space at no additional cost. The company describes itself as the first boutique salon suite concept and reports being named to Entrepreneur's Top 500 Franchise List.

The business rents out independent suites and leaves service choices, scheduling and pricing to each tenant, with a boutique, smaller-property model.

The common areas have water features, lighting, an upscale interior and several seating areas.
