Founded in 2017 by Traci Hawkins in Huntington Beach, California, Beauty Bungalows offers luxury salon suites tailored for beauty professionals seeking independence without the overhead of traditional salon ownership.

The company is headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, and has grown by providing high-end, customizable workspaces that cater to hairstylists, estheticians, makeup artists, and other beauty service providers.

Beauty Bungalows began franchising in 2021, offering entrepreneurs a semi-absentee, real estate-based business model. Franchisees operate premium salon suite facilities that are leased to individual beauty professionals.

These spaces offer 24/7 access, upscale amenities, and a supportive environment that allows each professional to manage their own business while benefiting from a sense of community.

What sets Beauty Bungalows apart is its dedication to creating a luxurious and empowering experience for both franchise owners and suite renters. The brand emphasizes quality, customization, and service, aiming to elevate the professional image of its tenants.
