5 /5 Sarah Cahill: My family and I are vacationing in the area; I was thrilled to have time to indulge in a little self-care while here. Having never been to a beauty suites establishment before, I was super intrigued to learn about what they are. Beauty suites are a collection of studios for beauty-based businesses all housed in one larger space. Each business owner has autonomy over their own room, and pays a low rent for the space, rather than renting a chair in a salon. Bathrooms, waiting areas, break area, and laundry facilities are all maintained by the owner of the studios. The low overhead makes it a great option for beauty professionals who still coordinate their own appointments and services. As a customer, it also means that there are several services available under the same roof, by professionals who are specialized in their field.
Agua Salon Studios is tasteful, serene, and immaculately clean. The owner was actually on site cleaning while I was there--she was even scrubbing the outdoor tiles in the common area! It is clear they take excellent care of their space.
I had my eyebrows shaped and tinted by Ruby, one of the several small business owners occupying space in the beauty suites. She did an AMAZING job (I wish I had a Ruby near me!), and she was such a joy to talk to. She also mentioned how much she loved her new work environment, and the autonomy she has found by branching out on her own.
I look forward to visiting again on future trips, and cant wait to see what other businesses move in!
