T
he traditional salon model may soon be relegated to the past with the introduction
of innovative business practices that challenge the status quo and offer profession-
als in the health and beauty industry alternatives to their current work arrange-
ments. Ken Suddaby and Linda Lefebvre introduced the salon suite concept to Canada early
this year. The salon suite model began in the United States about a decade ago and is trans-
forming the salon industry.
Ken and Linda acquired the Canadian Master Franchise rights to My Salon Suite Canada in
2013. It is a franchise that is edging its way into the Canadian market, having proven its suc-
cess in the United States and which will no doubt receive the same warm response north of
the border. It is a true semi-absentee franchise that, once built and leased out, takes about
one day a week to manage.
