Episode 223: Megan Comunale from My Salon Suite on Being Your Own Boss and Building a Business Under One Roof
Building Your Business with My Salon Suite
In Episode 223 of the Flock & Gather podcast, Allan Share, President of the Spa Industry Association, welcomes Megan Comunale, Marketing Manager at My Salon Suite. Together, they explore how salon suite leasing gives spa, salon, and beauty professionals a path to business ownership without having to go it alone.
With 385 locations, each home to 20 to 45 independent professionals, My Salon Suite brings together spa, salon, skin care, jewelry, and other beauty technicians under one roof. Megan explains how this model helps professionals build their own practice while staying connected to a supportive community.
The Benefits of Leasing a Salon Suite
Next, Allan and Megan discuss why more beauty and wellness professionals are choosing to lease their own space. Suite ownership gives professionals the freedom to set their own hours, create their own client experience, and run their business on their own terms.
For professionals who have been thinking about leaving a traditional salon or spa, a salon suite offers a practical next step toward independence, growth, and greater control over their income.
Support for Running a Successful Business
Then, the conversation turns to the business side of going independent. Megan shares how My Salon Suite helps its professionals succeed with guidance on running a business, from building a client base to managing day-to-day operations.
Rather than figuring everything out on their own, suite owners have access to resources and mentorship that help them grow with confidence.
Community, Mentorship, and Connection
In addition, Allan and Megan talk about one of the most valuable parts of the salon suite model: community. Working alongside dozens of other professionals creates opportunities to make new friends, share ideas, learn from experienced peers, and find mentors.
Megan explains how this sense of connection makes My Salon Suite a welcoming place to build a lasting practice.
Key Takeaways
Finally, Allan and Megan emphasize that independence and support can go hand in hand. By combining business ownership with community and mentorship, salon suite professionals can build successful, flexible practices that fit their goals and lifestyle.
