Salon City Suites

Salon City Suites is a booth rental complex where beauty and barber professionals lease their own furnished suite rather than a chair in a shared salon. The business describes itself as a newer concept in booth rental salons and aims for a clean, upscale and professional environment.

Each suite is a separate room with a private lockable entrance and nameplate. Every suite includes a styling station with a mirror, a styling chair, a wet station with chair, and a hooded dryer with chair. The complex also has a break room, laundry facilities and a waiting area. Access is through 24-hour keyless entry and a security-controlled system, and a call box at the entrance limits unexpected visitors.

Suites are leased on a one-year term, with rent payable weekly in advance from $160 per week and a security deposit of two weeks' rent. The landlord handles common areas, while each owner cleans their own suite. Owners choose their suite paint color at lease signing, and the landlord arranges painting before move-in. A suite is held for up to 30 days after an application is approved, and the lease must be signed within that window.

Owners set their own prices and schedules and keep their income. They are not required to carry any particular product line and keep the profit on whatever products they sell. The business is designed for professionals who already have an established client base rather than walk-in traffic. New owners are guided through the credentials needed to start, including a Georgia cosmetology, barbering or esthetics license, a Cobb County business license, a federal Tax Identification Number, a Georgia State Board of Cosmetology Salon License, and general and professional liability insurance.

The business leases independent suites so each owner runs their own practice, setting prices, hours and product choices while the landlord maintains the shared spaces.

The business aims for a clean, upscale and professional setting, with each suite a private room of its own.
