iStudio Salon

iStudio Salons is an independent operator of salon suites, founded in 2010 in Orlando, Florida. The company began with a mission to provide beauty professionals—such as stylists and estheticians—with private, fully equipped studios, allowing them to run their own businesses in a professional setting. Over the past fifteen years, iStudio Salons has grown from a single location to a network of 18 stores as of November 2025, spanning Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. Its footprint is concentrated in metropolitan areas like Orlando, Atlanta, and Charlotte, with ongoing expansion into high-growth suburban and urban markets, particularly in the Southeast.

A notable milestone in the company’s history is its steady growth during a period when demand for flexible, independent salon spaces has surged. In recent years, iStudio Salons has responded to demographic trends and the rising popularity of personal care services by prioritizing sites with strong visibility and high traffic, often in retail centers near complementary tenants. The company’s approach centers on providing modern amenities and 24/7 access, which appeals to professionals seeking autonomy without the financial burden of traditional salon ownership.

For landlords, brokers, and developers, iStudio Salons stands out as a stable, service-oriented tenant with a proven multi-unit format and consistent lease-up performance in competitive retail environments. The company’s leadership team brings experience in both real estate and operations, and maintains active relationships with industry partners to identify new locations. iStudio Salons remains privately owned, with no parent company or acquisition activity reported as of November 2025. Its expansion strategy is focused on markets such as Orlando, Atlanta, Charlotte, Tampa, and Raleigh, where population growth and consumer demand for personal care services are strong. The company employs approximately 35 people across its corporate and field operations, and its annual revenue is estimated at $7-10 million based on industry benchmarks for salon suite operators of similar scale.
