Phenix Salon Suites Expands SoCal Footprint with Multi-Unit Deal

The dynamic duo joins Phenix Salon Suites at a momentous time, following an impressive start to the year with 43 signed agreements. The Ganos are looking to develop their first location in the Los Angeles area, which is expected to open this winter. Armed with decades of experience, Christina is currently the Chief Operations Officer for a large multi-state Homeowners’ Association Management company, and Jack is a seasoned real estate agent. The entrepreneurial couple is excited to tie together their expertise in sales, operations and customer service, to help expand Phenix Salon Suites.

“After 20 years of helping others run their businesses, I’m excited for our next venture into entrepreneurship with Phenix Salon Suites,” said Christina Gano. “Phenix offers an opportunity to balance being a small business owner, while keeping our day jobs with its semi-absentee model. When looking into ownership opportunities, we knew we needed a system that offered the right amount of support so we could successfully run an additional business - and Phenix was the perfect fit.

I look forward to working alongside the Phenix leadership team and our lifestyle professionals to offer the community a salon experience that will keep them coming back for more.”

Phenix Salon Suites is pushing forward on a positive growth trajectory, both domestically and globally. Most recently, the brand announced its plans for potential growth in Australia and New Zealand, following the successful grand opening of its first U.K. location. Solidifying its stellar reputation as one of Entrepreneur’s Fastest Growing Franchises for the eighth year in a row, the brand is exceeding growth expectations already in 2022 with a goal to sign another 40 franchise agreements before the end of the year.

“Christina and Jack’s previous business experience and their strong understanding of successful operations, make them the perfect addition to our growing franchise family,” said Gina Rivera, founder of Phenix Salon Suites. “The duo will be developing their locations in a market our model has proven to be successful in. I’m looking forward to seeing Christina and Jack continue to strengthen our brand’s presence in Southern California with their two new locations.”

Phenix Salon Suites was one of the first salon suite concepts to offer luxurious, spacious suites for independent salon and lifestyle professionals to rent on a month-to-month basis and become their own boss. The suites are equipped with upscale amenities including a styling chair, shampoo chair, two cabinets, a hair dryer and a shampoo bowl that hooks directly onto the sink. The salon essentials are designed to meet each professional’s basic needs while providing them the opportunity to customize their suites, set their own hours, and operate their businesses as sole proprietors.

In the United States, Phenix Salon Suites has its sights set on expanding in Houston, Chicago, Columbus, Detroit, Boston and Upstate New York. Phenix also has room to grow in Washington, Oregon, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Northern California.

While no salon experience is necessary, the most successful franchisees have working knowledge of commercial real estate, general business experience, and are well-capitalized with the ability to invest $300,000 or more. Financing is available through our lending partners.

The California-based salon suite franchise is a salon suite rental concept that offers an opportunity for salon and lifestyle professionals to operate their own business in a private salon suite within a larger, well-located salon. Phenix Salon Suites does not sell haircuts. The brand licenses individualized suites so professionals can service their clients in a safe and secure environment.

Founded in 2007 by beauty expert and celebrity hairstylist Gina Rivera, who has family roots in the industry dating back to 1929, the Phenix suites concept has reinvented the salon industry. The company began franchising in 2012 and today has more than 330 salons across 33 states with continued plans to expand internationally. Recognized 8 years in a row on Entrepreneur’s Franchise Top 500 list, Phenix Salon Suites is acknowledged as an industry leader with franchise opportunities available in a number of key markets throughout the United States.

Phenix Salon Suites is awarding our scalable, semi-absentee opportunity to motivated entrepreneurs. With no salon experience required, franchisees earn reliable revenue from leasing customizable suites to salon and lifestyle professionals.
