Growth in a salon is measured in chairs

When your stylists are booked three weeks out and you are turning away new clients, the business is telling you something. Expansion for a salon can mean knocking through to the unit next door, adding stations, building a treatment room for facials or lashes, or signing a lease on a second location across town.

Each of those costs money long before the new chairs bring in a dollar: buildout, plumbing for new shampoo bowls, furniture, signage, a deposit on the lease and payroll for new hires during their ramp-up.

What expansion funding often covers

Pairing products for a bigger project

Larger expansions often use more than one tool. Equipment such as chairs, pedicure spas or laser devices can be handled through equipment financing for salons, while the buildout and hiring come from working capital. A line of credit works well as a cushion for overruns, which buildouts tend to have. Your offer shows the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept anything.

How we evaluate an expansion request

We look at about three months of business bank statements. A salon with steady, growing deposits and manageable existing payments is in the strongest position. No tax returns are required, the application takes about five minutes, and we start with a soft credit pull. FICO 500+ is considered and sole proprietors can apply. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, and qualified salons can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

Check our salon qualification guide to see how funders read your statements.

Plan the ramp, not just the build

The most common expansion mistake is funding the construction and forgetting the months it takes new chairs to fill. Build that ramp into your request. For illustration, an owner adding four stations might budget buildout, equipment and a few months of new-hire pay together. When the numbers make sense, start your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use expansion funding to open a second salon?

Yes. Lease deposits, buildout, equipment, inventory and staffing for a second location are all common uses.

How much can a salon get to expand?

Funding runs from $25,000 to $5,000,000. The amount depends mainly on your current deposits and existing obligations rather than projections for the new space.

Do I need a business plan?

No business plan or tax returns are required. We work from about three months of bank statements. Having your own plan and contractor quotes still helps you size the request.

Should I use equipment financing or working capital?

Equipment financing fits chairs and devices. Working capital fits buildout, hiring and other costs that are not equipment. Many owners use both.

Can a sole proprietor salon owner apply?

Yes, sole proprietors can apply.

Station buildout $85,000.00
Second location $220,000.00
Spa room $60,000.00
New-hire ramp $48,000.00

How to improve your chances

A little preparation makes an expansion request easier to approve and safer to carry.

  • Collect contractor and equipment quotes before you apply
  • Budget for the months new chairs take to fill
  • Keep current-location deposits steady during the build
  • Pay down small existing balances where you can
