Salon Lofts

Salon Lofts provides private salon suites for independent beauty professionals, including hairstylists, estheticians, nail technicians, and massage therapists. The company was founded in 2003 in Columbus, Ohio, where it introduced the salon suite concept to the Midwest, giving professionals the opportunity to run their own businesses in a supportive, community-focused setting. Over the years, Salon Lofts has grown steadily, reaching 220 locations across 20 states as of November 2025.

A significant milestone in the company’s history was its expansion into major metropolitan areas, with recent openings in Chicago, Dallas, and Tampa. Salon Lofts continues to actively select sites in both urban and suburban markets that show strong population growth and retail activity. The company maintains a corporate-owned model and does not operate franchises, which has helped it build a consistent brand experience and operational reliability.

In the past five years, Salon Lofts has accelerated its national growth, entering new markets and increasing its presence in established cities such as Atlanta, Charlotte, and Phoenix. This expansion reflects a strategy focused on retail centers that attract steady foot traffic and offer a mix of complementary tenants.

Salon Lofts is recognized for its modern, flexible suite formats, which appeal to a wide range of beauty professionals seeking autonomy and a professional environment. For landlords, brokers, and developers, the brand’s approach brings a stable, scalable tenant to retail properties, often enhancing overall traffic and activating retail corridors. With its reputation for innovation and operational excellence, Salon Lofts remains a sought-after partner for property owners looking to diversify their tenant mix and create vibrant retail destinations.
