A Behind The Scenes Look At Our Community
DECEMBER 2021
Holidays In The Community
It’s the season of joy and gift-giving! There is no greater way to celebrate this wonderful time than spending it with the people who matter.
Here at Ideal Salon Studio Suites we will be celebrating with the people who mean the most to our business…our Suite Owners.
We will have light snacks, drinks, music, and so much more in Courtyard C on December 16, 2021 from 12pm to 4pm.
Come join us and meet other community entrepreneurs.
We look forward to seeing you there!

HEALTH
Health Insurance
Healthcare has historically been a challenge in our industry and many salon operators lack access to affordable health insurance options.
Effective earlier this year the Covid Relief Plan was signed into law to help entrepreneurs like you to get quality health insurance from well known insurance providers like Blue Cross Blue Shield and Kaiser Permanente.
The process is simple. It’s basically the Affordable Care Act rebooted, where you can shop on a marketplace of several providers. Many plans offer low deductibles and low co-pays. There’s no pre-existing condition penalty and it only takes a few minutes to complete your sign up.
The program is based on your adjusted gross income (the amount your tax return shows AFTER all deductions).

WEALTH
Business Loans/Grants
Did you know that there’s money earmarked specifically for you within the city?
That’s correct.
Our location sits in an economic empowerment zone and qualifies for enhanced priority lending or grants.
These opportunities come through Invest Atlanta and there’s still funds available as of the publishing of this post.
There’s money specifically for women owned businesses and startups as well.
The one that looks really attractive is one that extends money to those in co-working spaces.
Those who are in our C-Suites qualify for those funds. The name of the program is the Atlanta Forward Loan Fund.

Podcasts To Check Out
We ran into this podcast and wanted to share it with our community. This podcast is a great resource when it comes to tips on how to run a successful salon business and hear opinions about the business from a different perspective.
The podcast is hosted by Nina, a former salon owner/stylist turned business coach and speaker along with co-host J, also a salon owner/stylist and educator.
They created this platform to allow you to dig deep, help you move past your insecurities, conquer your fears, and become the absolute best version of yourself.
The name of the podcast is NO STYLIST LEFT BEHIND
