My Salon Suite announced it will be exhibiting at the upcoming 23rd annual Multi-Unit Franchising Conference at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas on April 25-28. The annual conference targets multi-unit franchisees in the food, hospitality, retail, and personal care service sectors such as hair, massage, and botox.
“As My Salon Suite targets nationwide expansion, the Multi-Unit conference is the ideal place to showcase our franchise opportunities and connect with established franchisees. My Salon Suite’s semi-absentee model, with no on-site employees, is ideal for multi-unit and multi-brand franchisees looking to diversify their portfolio. Following a year of record growth for the brand, we look forward to continuing to open in new markets across the country.”
— Mark Jameson, chief development officer, My Salon Suite.
My Salon Suite is currently seeking qualified franchisees with a focus on existing multi-unit franchisees. The semi-absentee model offers franchise owners the opportunity to expand and diversify while focusing their attention on other areas. My Salon Suite is continuing expansion following a record year for the brand, which opened 42 franchise locations in 2022 to reach a milestone of 265 locations, with plans to continue to grow the brand both domestically and internationally this year.
“When we were initially looking to diversify, we wanted something that was less employee driven but very impactful, and that’s why we loved the My Salon Suite model,” said Aaron Gillaspie, My Salon Suite franchisee with 17 locations in markets across the U.S. “At the end of the day, when you buy into a franchise, you’re buying into the people who are running it and the processes they have. The ambition and passion the My Salon Suite team has for helping people and growing this concept is unlike any other.”
The initial investment for a My Salon Suite franchise is approximately $664,738-$1,479,827, including a $50,000 franchise fee. Ideal candidates have a net worth of $1.5 million, of which $500K is liquid. Additionally, My Salon Suite offers a special incentive for veterans and first responders, including paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers, sheriffs, and firefighters, which includes a 50% reduction on the franchise fee — a savings of $25,000.
