Salon Nordine & Spa Suites

Salon Nordine & Spa Suites rents private suites to independent beauty professionals in Northern Virginia. The business describes itself as the top luxury salon suite provider in the region. Its Fairfax location is in the Mosaic District shopping and dining complex, and it also has a Gainesville location.

The business was founded by Nordine Elabassi, who emigrated to the United States in 1982 and trained as a cosmetologist before getting licensed. He opened the first salon in Vienna, Virginia in 1987 and expanded to Fairfax in 1992 with a full service salon and day spa. A Gainesville salon followed in 2001, and a Mosaic District salon in Fairfax opened in 2013. Earlier salons at Reston Town Center (2003 to 2017) and Reston Station (opened 2017) are part of the company's history. Elabassi created the suite rental model to help beauty professionals start their own businesses.

Suites are rented on annual leases, and renters pay only for the space they need rather than a traditional property lease. The business says its suites are equipped with industry-leading equipment. Renters and their clients park for free, and the buildings are professionally secured and monitored around the clock.

Renters get support beyond the space itself. Each renter has a page on the business website to help new clients find them, and renters' work is shared on the website and social media. Renters can also buy products at a discounted rate, and tutorials and continued education are offered regularly at both the suite and salon locations.

The About page claims 30 years of experience, 32 brand partners and three successful entrepreneurs.

Built around supporting beauty entrepreneurs with private suites that carry the amenities and design of the company's salons.
