A salon studio rental comes with a ton of benefits. Firstly, your commission is all your own. No hidden fees or royalties have to be paid to the host salon, unlike franchise owners.
The host salons almost always help you design your suite, or at the very least they provide a move-in ready suites that are decorated to a high standard. And to top it off, you are able to freely sell any products from your suit without penalty or charge, however this is not a requirement.
Once you find a salon studio to rent, the next steps are to continue your training by taking some professional online body waxing classes and invest in hard and soft waxes that deliver reliable and consistent results. Whether you are looking for bulk hard blue, pink, teal, or hypoallergenic wax beads, strip wax, warmers, accessories, and more, Bombshell Wax has all the waxing essentials you need to get your salon studio rental up and running!
