What MY SALON Suite does

MY SALON Suite, legally Suite Management Franchising, Inc., is a privately held salon suite franchise company founded in 2009 with two stores in Louisiana and headquartered in Kenner, Louisiana, operating as a subsidiary of Propelled Brands (which also owns FASTSIGNS and Camp Bow Wow). The company licenses entrepreneurs to own and operate salon suite locations housing multiple private, fully-equipped rental studios (six suite types: Premier, Double, Standard, Value, Suite Share, and Spa Suite) leased to independent beauty, health, and wellness professionals — hairstylists, barbers, estheticians, nail artists, massage therapists, makeup artists, and other appointment-based providers — who retain 100% of their earnings with no commission splits.

The underlying platform combines physical real estate (24/7 secured, fully furnished suites with utilities and Wi-Fi) with member-facing technology including a mobile app for rent payment and maintenance, Client Connect (powered by Mya) for online booking and discovery, and Square-integrated payment processing with preferred pricing. The franchise model requires franchisees to have minimum $1.5M net worth and $500K liquid capital.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring suite/membership rental income collected by franchisees (with royalties paid to the franchisor), one-time franchise fees from new unit signings (200+ units in development pipeline), and ongoing franchise royalties from the existing 370+ unit network across 35 US states and Canada. The company is actively expanding through franchise signings, salon conversions, and targeted acquisitions (Mera Salon Suites in 2024, Utah conversions in 2026), supported by a community ecosystem that includes the Suite Relief Program (over $946K raised for St. Jude since 2018) and a Professional Beauty Association partnership.

Direct peers

• Salon Lofts: Established salon suite rental franchise with a similar two-sided GTM — renting private suites to independent stylists while selling franchise rights to investors. Directly comparable business model and target member profile to MY SALON Suite.
• Sola Salon Studios: Major salon suite rental franchise and founding competitor in the private-suite category. Competes with MY SALON Suite for both beauty professional tenants and prospective franchisees, with comparable suite rental economics and member value propositions.
• Phenix Salon Suites: Largest direct competitor in the salon suite rental franchise category; operates the same private-suite landlord model targeting beauty professionals and high-net-worth franchisees. Currently owned by Regis Corporation, making it the primary head-to-head rival for both suite-renting members and franchisee recruitment.

Broad incumbents

• FASTSIGNS: Sister brand within Propelled Brands and an established signage franchise system. Useful peer for benchmarking franchise operational scale, unit economics, and parent-portfolio synergies rather than a direct competitor in salon services.
• Regis Corporation: Large publicly-traded salon operator and parent of Phenix Salon Suites. Represents the broader incumbent threat in the salon industry and indirect exposure through its ownership of the largest direct suite-rental competitor to MY SALON Suite.
• ULTA Beauty: Largest US specialty beauty retailer with in-store salon services. A broad industry incumbent that competes indirectly for consumer beauty service spend and stylist talent, even though its operating model differs from franchise suite rental.
• Great Clips: Largest US hair salon franchise chain with thousands of corporate-owned and franchised units. Represents an established alternative franchise format for stylists and an indirect competitor for both salon professionals and end-consumer service share.
• Camp Bow Wow: Another Propelled Brands portfolio company running a multi-unit pet care franchise model. Comparable from a franchise-system operations perspective (multi-unit franchising, real estate footprint, member/user model) rather than beauty services.
• Sport Clips: Established men's and family hair salon franchise system. Competes for stylist talent and consumer share-of-wallet in beauty services even though it does not operate a private-suite rental model.

Others

• SalonCentric: L'Oréal-owned professional beauty products distributor and existing MY SALON Suite ecosystem partner. Comparable as an adjacent industry participant that supplies and supports independent beauty professionals — the same customer base MSS serves — rather than as a direct competitor.
