Cabas vs MY SALON Suite: Which Is Right for You?

MY SALON Suite is a franchise chain that leases private suites and emphasizes the community inside each franchise location. Cabas lets you book a private suite by the hour or day in any city the app serves, with a community of beauty pros that spans markets rather than living inside one building. The trade off is that you do not get the same daily coworkers, but you do not pay weekly rent either.

For most independent pros, yes. A $350 per week MY SALON suite is $16 per hour at 22 booked hours, but $35 per hour at 10 hours. Cabas at $18 per hour for 22 booked hours is $396, slightly more than the weekly rate but with zero idle cost. For pros who do not fill the week, Cabas saves real money. For pros who fill 30 plus hours, MY SALON's flat rate can be more cost effective.

It depends on how you define community. If community means seeing the same five neighbors in the hallway every morning, a franchise will give you that and Cabas will not. If community means access to thousands of working beauty pros, shared advice, and the ability to refer clients across cities, Cabas community lives in the app and in the city wide pro network around it.

Yes. Many pros transition from franchise leases to hourly booking once they realize how many of their suite hours sat empty. There is no application or credit check for Cabas. You verify your license once and start booking. If your MY SALON lease is ending or going month to month, you can layer Cabas in immediately without leaving your current suite until you are ready.

You can. Many Cabas pros pick a favorite suite in a favorite location and rebook it on a regular schedule. The difference is that you are not paying for the days you are not there. If your favorite suite is unavailable, you can book a different one in the same building or neighborhood. Your client experience stays consistent and your cost stays variable.
