Making the Switch to Salon Suites Can More Than Double Your Income
Are you a talented stylist working on commission but dreaming of greater financial profits? The numbers don’t lie – according to ZipRecruiter’s 2025 data, salon suite owners in Atlanta are earning significantly more than their commission-based counterparts. While the average commission stylist earns around $42,150 annually ($3,512 monthly), salon owners are bringing in over $123,033 per year ($10,252 monthly). That’s a difference that could transform your future profits and lifestyle.
The Freedom to Control Your Revenue Streams
When you work in salon suites in the Atlanta area, you’re not just a stylist – you’re a business owner with complete control over your income potential. Here’s how suite ownership amplifies your earning power:
1. Keep 100% of Your Service Revenue
Unlike commission work where you share your earnings, every dollar you make from services stays in your pocket. This alone can double or triple your take-home pay from the same number of clients. Plus, you have the flexibility to adjust your service menu and pricing strategy as your business grows.
2. Build Your Retail Empire
Product sales become pure profit when you own your space. You choose what to sell and keep all the markup, rather than earning small commission percentages on products sold in someone else’s salon. This freedom allows you to curate a retail selection that perfectly matches your clients’ needs and your professional recommendations.
3. Set Your Own Rates
No more having your prices dictated by a salon owner. You can charge what your services are truly worth and adjust your rates as your expertise grows. Having control over your pricing structure means you can implement strategic increases and create premium service tiers that reflect your skill level.
