NEW ORLEANS, April 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Eleven beauty salon owners from across the nation have been selected as part of MY SALON Suite's 2021 Suite Elite Featured Member program. This year's theme, Make It Yours: Next Level, will celebrate the winners' accomplishments and unique styles with personalized rewards and promotions, and will also position them for continued success through once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to elevate their businesses.
The chosen stylists are members of MY SALON Suite, a co-working style space where salon professionals provide beauty services to their clients in private, fully equipped, custom suites. There are more than 200 franchised MY SALON Suite locations across the U.S. and Canada with more than 5,000 beauty professional members, collectively called the Suite Elite.
This past October, more than 600 suite members sought consideration for the 2021 Featured Member campaign. More than 60 candidates then completed an application asking them to share their personal journeys with MY SALON Suite, how they've worked to achieve success, and what improvements they would make if given the opportunity to renovate their suites. A panel of judges next narrowed down the winners to 11 extraordinary business owners who represent a wide range of specialties, personalities, and geographies.
"Every year, we are amazed by the determination, enthusiasm, and sheer talent of our Featured Members but this year has made their accomplishments even more astounding as they worked day in and out to exceed their clients' expectations in a safe, welcoming environment," said Ken McAllister, MY SALON Suite's CEO and President. "Among 5,000 of their Suite Elite peers, these beauty pros are in a class all their own and have earned this distinction through creativity and dedication. I can't wait to help them grow their businesses even more – with MY SALON Suite, the sky is the limit!"
The 11 winners will enjoy luxury experiences and rewards, including a high-end personalized gift for each, throughout the year. Following professional photography and videography shoots, they will be featured throughout the coming year in national marketing campaigns, on social media, and on the company's website. MY SALON Suite will also secure opportunities for each Featured Member to promote their business locally and receive recognition for this honor in their communities.
In addition, aligning with this year's theme of Make It Yours: Next Level, the Featured Members will participate in a virtual session with a team of national design consultants who will offer expert advice and practical recommendations to make their visions for their suite and branding a reality. A donation in each winner's name will also be made to MY SALON Suite's philanthropic partner, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
