If you’re looking to rent a salon suite in cities such as Denver, St Louis, Raleigh, Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Ft Lauderdale, Pittsburgh, Newark, Columbus, or Cincinnati, rates might vary anywhere from $295 to $550 or more per week.

So, what else can affect the cost of a salon suite?

Location is a big factor. If you’re in a prime spot with lots of foot traffic or in a popular shopping center, you can expect to pay a bit more for rent. Similarly, if you’re in a city with a high cost of living, the rental rates might be higher.

Size also matters when it comes to salon suite rentals. A larger suite will be more expensive than a smaller one, but it can be a more cost-effective option to rent a larger suite if you plan on sharing the space with other professionals. 

And don’t forget about amenities! At IMAGE Studios you get the most amenities for your money compared to Sola, My Salon Suite, Phenix Salon Suites, or Salons by JC.
