My Salon Suite® Recognized as Top Franchise for Veterans
My Salon Suite®, a distinguished salon suite franchise, has proudly secured the 31st position in the 2025 edition of Entrepreneur magazine's Top Franchise for Veterans list. This recognition marks the third consecutive year that the brand has been honored for its commitment to supporting veterans wishing to transition into civilian life through entrepreneurship.
This franchise is dedicated to providing beauty, health, and wellness professionals with personal, individual spaces to build and grow their businesses. In an effort to facilitate the transition for military service members and first responders, My Salon Suite offers a remarkable incentive: a 50% reduction in the franchise fee, amounting to a substantial $25,000 savings. Mark Jameson, Chief Development Officer at Propelled Brands, emphasized the brand's pride in supporting veterans: “Our servicemembers embody the qualities of dedicated entrepreneurs, exhibiting discipline and leadership that translates into business success.”
The connection between military service and franchise ownership is particularly noteworthy. According to VetFran, veterans constitute around 14% of all franchise owners, significantly higher than their representation in the general U.S. population, which stands at about 7%. This correlation underlines the effectiveness of military experience in fostering successful business leaders.
Each year, Entrepreneur conducts a comprehensive survey of franchise companies to evaluate the incentives provided to veterans. The publication ranks the top 150 franchises based on factors like the effectiveness of veteran support, franchisee attraction strategies, and performance in prior Franchise 500 rankings. In 2025, My Salon Suite elevated its status by achieving the 119th overall ranking for outstanding financial stability, brand strength, and rapid unit growth.
Franchisee Mike Hilliard, an Air Force veteran, shared his motivation to join My Salon Suite, stating, “The semi-absentee model appealed to me immensely, as it presents an opportunity to help others establish their own businesses.” He noted how his military background provided valuable discipline and focus, enabling him to thrive in his entrepreneurial journey. Coupled with corporate experience and the operational support from My Salon Suite, his transition to business ownership has been reported as smooth and fruitful.
Currently, My Salon Suite is actively seeking qualified candidates for franchise opportunities, with a strategic interest in securing multi-unit owners for continued nationwide growth. The franchise model's semi-absentee approach is particularly well-suited for partners looking to diversify their investments while benefiting from the brand's established reputation.
