FAQ

What exactly is a salon suite?

 

Each salon suite (or studio salon) in J Suites is a separate, fully enclosed, customized room with a private locking entrance, furnished with everything you need to open for business as a salon. Each “mini salon” will have it’s own salon license from the New Jersey state board of cosmetology, which allows beauty professionals like you the opportunity to actually own your own salon without the risks and expenses that can come with a traditional salon buildout. Think of J Suites as a beauty mall – with stores throughout serving our clients.

 

A salon suite provides more freedom, more profits, and more privacy for stylists and estheticians. Your luxury studio salon at J Suites can be decorated however you like, so you can design the salon or spa space that you’ve always envisioned. You set your own hours, make your own rules, and use whatever product you like. Should you need anything at all, call us, and our professional team will take care of it. All you pay is rent and we take care of the rest!

 

Why is J Suites different from the other salon suites?

 

J Suites is truly different from any other salon suites business anywhere. Unlike the corporate or franchised suite businesses that make up the majority of studio salons, J Suites is a woman owned independent beauty collective established right here in South Jersey. Our founder, Sue Jacquette, was focused on three important things to create unrivaled value for new business owners joining our beauty collective:

  1. curating a culture of support

  2. offering the most luxury brand out there

  3. providing more amenities than anyone else

All this while helping our owners find a work-life balance.

 

Not only are our studio salons built to exude luxury, from the high end finishes to the larger sizes of our suites – but being woman owned means that our culture is one that supports not just you, but everything that is important to you.

How are salon suites the best option for owners AND our clients?

 

Your clients will love coming to see you at J Suites. Once they walk into our luxurious and gorgeous lobby, your receptionist will greet them, provide directions to your suite, and offer them a cup of coffee. Then, once in your suite, your client gets private one-on-one time with you. Most clients form even greater bonds with their stylist because of this! While visiting you in your studio, your client can book all of the other services they are looking for within our beauty collective too, whether that’s an eyebrow wax while they are processing, or getting a manicure after her blowout. Clients love the convenience of the one stop beauty shop at J Suites.

 

As an owner, you can expect to expand your client base in a luxurious environment. On average, our owners earn at least 60% more upon opening their studio salon, and many people earn even more! Talk with Sue about our income comparison spreadsheet, where we can compare your existing income with what your income would look like as a business owner.

 

That said, making more money is not the only thing you will love about being at J Suites, you’ll find a community of owners who support you, and the freedom of being your own boss means you can control your own schedule, create your own rules, charge the prices you want, carry the products you love, decorate your space to reflect your brand, and more!
