✨ Thinking About Opening a Salon Suite Business? Come Ask Us HOW We Did It! ✨
If you’ve ever thought about becoming a salon suite owner, opening your own business, or simply taking the leap into entrepreneurship, this conversation is for YOU!
On September 8th, I’m excited to join Dene’t Radden and Bernishia Greene for a special R.I.S.E. Networking Group panel:
🏢 BEHIND THE SUITES: The Business of Salon Suite Ownership
We’re pulling back the curtain and having a REAL conversation about what it takes to go from an idea
➡️ finding the right space
➡️ funding it
➡️ opening the doors
➡️ finding tenants
➡️ actually running the business.
And the best part? We’ve all done it. 🙌🏽
We’ll be sharing our individual experiences, lessons learned, challenges, wins, and some of the things we wish someone had told us before we started.
We’ll talk about questions like:
🔑 How did you know it was time to start?
💰 How much money did it take to open?
🏦 How did you fund the business?
🏢 How did you find the right location?
💇🏽♀️ How do you attract salon professionals and fill your suites?
📈 What does it really take to operate and grow the business?
🚨 What mistakes would we avoid if we had to do it again?
Then we’re turning the conversation over to YOU for a LIVE Q&A! 🎤
So, bring your questions! This is your opportunity to sit in a room with three salon suite owners who have actually gone through the process and ask the things you’ve been Googling, researching, wondering about—or maybe even afraid to ask.
And you do NOT have to be in the beauty industry to attend. If you’re an entrepreneur, aspiring business owner, investor, or simply have an idea you've been sitting on, there will be plenty of gems in this conversation for you too.
