Franchisees manage the property, sublease suites, provide salon management and maintenance services, and operate from approved locations typically 4,753 to 8,720 square feet. The target market comprises hair stylists, massage therapists, estheticians, nail technicians, and other salon professionals seeking leasable space.

Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Data for 244 My Salon Suite Franchised Businesses that met Reporting Criteria in 2024.
* Average gross revenue, median gross revenue, and average EBITDA are taken directly from Table 1 ('All Centers'). Revenue for the top quartile is from Table 2 ('Top Quartile by Revenue' average gross revenue). Revenue for the bottom quartile is from Table 3 ('Bottom Quartile by Revenue' average gross revenue). EBITDA margin percentage is calculated as average_ebitda / average_gross_revenue (194,813 / 455,642 = 0.42755...). The best_guess_profit_low and best_guess_profit_high are derived from the 'Low' and 'High' EBITDA values respectively, as presented in Table 1 for all reporting centers, which represents the overall performance range.

Imagine handing the keys to a luxury salon suite complex to independent beauty pros hungry for their own space—My Salon Suites has built a thriving ecosystem around this model since 2012. Item 19 lays bare revenue performance across 304 franchised locations, while minimal terminations and steady expansion signal operational stability. But with EBITDA margins hovering at zero and a wide profit swing, does this property play deliver the passive income landlords dream of?
Delve into the FDD: Item 7 pegs initial investment at $675,106 to $1,682,095 for 4,753-8,720 sq ft properties, with a $50,000 franchise fee. Ongoing fees ramp up—2.75% royalty first six months, 5.5% thereafter (min $1,000), plus 2% brand fund ($200/mo min), $170/mo tech fee, and $50/mo suite relief. Item 19 shines: average gross revenue $455,642, median $439,608 from comparable units, but estimated profits range wildly from -$115,147 to $708,655, reflecting the leverage of subleasing 20-40 suites to stylists and estheticians. Eight SBA loans average $847,713 underscore financing feasibility for qualified buyers.
System vitality impresses: 304 franchised plus 51 corporate spots, up 11% from 275 in 2023, with 50 new units projected. Just one termination last year highlights franchisee retention under Propelled Brands. For semi-absentee operators eyeing beauty real estate, high-end gross sales potential offsets the hefty upfront and zero-margin reality—success hinges on location and occupancy rates above 80%. Scrutinize local demand for medi-spa suites and validate Item 19 comps against your market.
