Work-Life Balance for Beauty Professionals:
How a Salon Suite Can Help
“Work-life balance” is undeniably one of the latest buzzwords on social media, but it’s so much more than a trending phrase—it’s a goal for a fulfilling, happy, and successful life.
Did you know that owning a
salon suite can help you get there?
It’s true. Among plenty of other benefits to owning a salon suite, like endless interior customization options and handcrafted services and classes, one of the perks is obtaining a
work-life balance beyond your wildest dreams.
As a beauty professional, you know that “work-life balance” is a rarity. Many stylists find themselves strapped for time, spending countless hours on their feet and missing out on life. This article shows how owning a salon suite can change and revitalize your professional beauty career, putting an end to overworked, burnt-out stylists and paving the way to rejuvenated beautypreneurs with a new lease on life.
8 Ways Owning a Salon Suite Promotes Work-Life Balance for Beauty Professionals
Have you been dreaming of becoming your own boss but not quite ready to take the plunge? These six great ways owning a salon suite promotes work-life balance may be precisely what you need to hear to make the decision:
1. Balanced Schedule
When it comes to owning a salon suite, there’s no “schedule” to adhere to. Well, let’s be more precise: nobody
else is putting you on a schedule. You come up with your own schedule that suits your wants and needs.
Don’t want to work Fridays? Don’t schedule anyone on Friday.
Are you craving a four-day weekend (that you desperately deserve)? No problem - take the days off and enjoy. Being in complete charge of the schedule allows you to balance your preferences, leaving no room for the dreaded “burnout.”
2. Flexible Hours
Scheduling doesn’t just include days, though - it extends to your hours. Your salon suite is only open when you want it to be, providing incredible flexibility to suit your needs. For example, you might choose to come in late every Wednesday, or perhaps you need to leave early a few times per month to meet with friends.
Whatever the case may be, being a salon suite owner ensures flexible hours - so you never have to miss out or sacrifice on the things that matter most.
3. Complete Control Over Workload
Another way to ensure you’re engaging in adequate work-life balance? Being in control over your workload - which is possible when you’re the owner of your very own salon suite!
Beyond setting days and hours, you can also decide on your day-to-day workload. This may mean having two clients at a time at some point or choosing to have longer appointments for certain services, which you know take extra time.
Preventing overbooking allows you to enjoy a steady workflow without feeling overwhelmed. It will enable you to feel energized, happy, and ready for your next appointment. And believe us—clients can tell when you’re in a good mood and relaxed. It makes for a better experience for your clientele, which can lead to better repeat clients and client retention.
4. Prioritizing What Matters Most
As a beauty professional, you’ve likely missed out on a thing or two - and not just any ole stuff, but important and once-in-a-lifetime events, too. There’s no doubt you were upset, but for most stylists, work and bills come first.
Well, when you own a salon suite, you never have to worry about missing out on what matters most
ever again. Again, this is all thanks to being in charge of your daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly schedules down to the minute.
5. Less Stress with a Personalized Workspace
6. Vacation Days Whenever You Want
“I’d love to go, but I have to work.” Have you ever said that line? As a beauty professional, you likely have. But as a salon suite owner, you no longer have to worry about “not having any vacation days.”
In reality, as the boss, you can take as many vacation days as you’d like. Just ensure you’re booked enough to take care of your necessities and extras first. Good budgeting and money management can go a long way!
Most of us know the phrase, “If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.” If you’re truly doing something you enjoy, it won’t feel like work - right? Well, that’s the beauty of owning your own salon suite. You get to pick and choose which services you provide, so you never have to do the things you
don’t enjoy.
How is this beneficial to work-life balance? Pretty simple: work won’t feel like “work,” leaving you to feel more satisfied and fulfilled in your workplace. Aside from that, you’re bound to feel empowered and happy, too. And who wouldn’t want that?
8. Elimination of Distractions
If you’ve ever worked in a salon, whether it was a two-person or ten-plus-person establishment, you know the distractions can be
real. Whether it was workplace drama or just the hustle and bustle of a million hair tools going off at once, it can be challenging to stay on target.
All that changes when you have your own salon and are the owner.
Sure, you can still be distracted by things here and there, but it’s nothing compared to large salons where something always seems to be going down. And less distractions = more work getting done and more money in your pocket, which is sure to positively impact your work-life balance and mood.

One of the biggest challenges of owning a salon suite is

Our suites are referred to as “turnkey,” meaning they’re fully functional the moment you sign your lease. All you have to do is decide what decorations and extras to add to make it “yours.”

Rather than trying to figure out a hundred and one expenses to open a salon, we provide an all-inclusive price to get you started quickly and efficiently. We even offer specials, like referral programs and rent-free weeks upon signing, to help you get up and running without the headache.
