PHENIX SALON SUITES
Phenix Salon Suites franchises develop and manage luxury salon suite facilities, licensing fully equipped individual suites to independent salon professionals, hair stylists, and other beauty business operators under the Phenix Salon Suites brand. This business model allows professionals to operate independently without handling facility maintenance, maximizing their revenues in acoustically private, customizable spaces typically ranging from 105-200 square feet. Franchisees may also operate a Phenix Salon Store selling proprietary and private label beauty products, targeting salon professionals seeking ownership and income optimization in a competitive market.

Imagine owning a slice of the booming beauty industry without chasing rent from flaky stylists or scrubbing toilets: Phenix Salon Suites flips the script by leasing luxury, soundproof suites to independent pros who run their own shows. Franchising since 2010 from Las Vegas, this model taps into pros craving autonomy amid salon drama. Item 19 drops revenue stats that hint at solid cash flow potential, yet a quirky margin figure raises eyebrows—but does it signal steady passive income or hidden hurdles?
Financials from the 2025 FDD paint a high-entry picture: initial investment spans $721,109 to $2,425,469, kicked off by a $52,500 franchise fee, per Item 7. Ongoing fees bite at $0.34 per sq ft royalty plus $0.06 national brand, ~$200/mo for Gina’s Platform, and $50-$150/mo Suitest News. Item 19 shines with average gross revenue of $474,101 and median $425,946 across units, but that 0% EBITDA margin suggests many operate near breakeven after expenses—ideal for scaling multiple locations rather than quick flips. Only 3 SBA loans average $710,500 reflect cautious lender interest.
System vitality shows 367 franchise locations plus 32 corporate, up 3% from 356 in 2023, with 33 projected new units and just 3 transfers signaling stability over explosive growth. This semi-absentee play suits investors eyeing beauty's $500B+ market, where suite rentals (105-200 sq ft) plus optional Phenix Salon Stores boost recurring revenue from pros maximizing their take-home. Buyers chasing 20%+ ROI might pivot elsewhere, but for diversified portfolios, these numbers whisper reliable mid-six-figure topsides if occupancy hums at 90%+.
