Your Own Salon Suite in Decatur
Your chair, your hours, your brand. Move-in ready.
Ready to run your own salon?
Go independent without building out a storefront
You’re good at what you do, and your clients follow you, not the salon. The only thing standing between you and your own shop is the space.
Renting a chair at a busy salon means someone else’s rules, someone else’s hours, and a cut of everything you make. Building out your own storefront means a long lease, contractors, and a pile of money before you’ve washed a single head.
There’s a middle option. A private, licensed-ready salon suite that’s already set up, so you can go independent this month instead of next year.
That’s exactly what we do.
Set up for salon work from day one
Built for stylists, not just any tenant
You shouldn’t have to build a salon from scratch to run one. Our suites come ready for the work:
- Lay-back wash station. A backwash shampoo chair is already installed, so you can wash and condition right in your suite. No plumbing a sink yourself.
- Big styling mirror. A full styling station with a large mirror, so you and your client see the work clearly.
- Private, lockable suite. Your own walls and your own door. That’s exactly the setup Georgia allows for a licensed salon suite, and it means your space and your products stay yours.
- A professional waiting area. A clean, shared waiting space out front, so your clients have somewhere nice to sit before their appointment.
- Restroom on site. Restroom access in the building, which the state requires.
- A permanent commercial address. The licensed-ready location the state board needs on your lease to issue your salon license.
Quick note: state rules can change. We’ll always point you to the current Georgia requirements so your setup is up to date, but we make it our business to keep our suites salon-ready.

WHY STYLISTS CHOOSE THE EXCHANGE
We’re not a national chain or a faceless property manager. We’re a local Decatur operator who understands exactly what an independent stylist needs to go out on their own. The suite is already built out, the address is one the state board will accept, and there’s a real person to call when you need something.
You keep what you earn. You set your own hours. You build your own brand. We just give you a space your clients will love walking into.
FAQ
Salon Suites in Decatur: Common Questions
Do I need a license to rent a salon suite? You operate under your own Georgia cosmetology or barber license, same as anywhere. To run your own salon you also need a salon establishment license from the state board, and that requires a lease for a permanent commercial location. Renting a suite here is what gives you that.
Does Georgia actually allow salon suites? Yes. Georgia’s rules allow the suite model, with partition walls and a door that locks. Each stylist runs their own licensed space inside the building. Our suites are set up to fit that.
Is there a shampoo sink in the suite? Yes. A backwash shampoo chair is already installed in the suite, so you can wash and condition without plumbing in your own sink.
Is there a place for my clients to wait? Yes. There’s a clean, professional waiting area out front, so your clients have a comfortable place to sit before you’re ready for them.
Can I set my own hours and bring my own products? Yes. It’s your private suite. Use your own products, your own retail, set your own schedule, and make it look like your brand.
Is there parking for my clients? Yes. There’s ample on-site parking, so your clients aren’t circling the block before their appointment.
How much does it cost? Suites start at $350/month with flexible lease terms, so you’re not locked into a long, expensive commitment just to go independent.
