Thinking about your next big move in the beauty industry? Leasing a salon suite or building out a commercial storefront—what’s the better choice? Owning your space sounds great, but let’s talk numbers before you dive in.
The Real Cost of a Storefront
A commercial storefront means big upfront costs and ongoing expenses.
Build-Out Costs: Expect $18,000–$45,000 just to get started.
Flooring, walls, plumbing, electrical: $12,000–$30,000
Salon chairs, stations, reception setup: $4,500–$8,500
Permits, signage, HVAC updates: $3,600–$6,500
Annual Rent: Around $15,000 per year.
Utilities & Maintenance: Another $5,100–$9,000 annually.
Total First-Year Cost: $38,100–$69,000 before you even turn a profit.
Ongoing Costs: $20,100–$24,000+ per year, plus unexpected repairs.
