Xochitl Nails Finds Affordable Home at Hill Country Salon Suites in Georgetown

Georgetown, TX - In a move that highlights the changing landscape of beauty industry entrepreneurship, Lourdes Yanez has launched Xochitl Nails at Hill Country Salon Suites in Georgetown, Texas. This development underscores a growing trend of affordable salon suite rentals that are enabling beauty professionals to realize their dreams of business ownership.

Yanez, who was initially searching for an affordable location for her planned nail salon, discovered Hill Country Salon Suites by chance. "I was looking for an affordable location for my planned nail salon," Yanez explained. "By chance, I stopped in at Hill Country Salon Suites. I talked to the owners, liked what they said, loved the support they give each of their tenants, and found the entire operation to be first-class. I couldn't be happier."

Xochitl Nails currently offers a range of services including acrylics, gel extensions, structured manicures, and basic gel manicures. The salon operates by appointment only, typically between 9 am to 6 pm from Thursday to Monday. To attract new clients, Xochitl Nails is offering a $10 discount for first-time customers and a "Bestie & Me" special, where friends can get their nails done together for $130.

Hill Country Salon Suites, co-owned by Richard Spradley and Melanie Scharton, represents more than just a business venture. Scharton emphasized their dual purpose: "Sure, it was an investment, but it is much more than that. It is our way of sharing our expertise to help new entrepreneurs to gain a foothold as business owners, to start their journey on solid ground. We love watching new owners flourish."

The business model at Hill Country Salon Suites addresses many of the challenges faced by aspiring salon owners. They offer affordable salon suite rentals with an amenities package that significantly reduces overhead costs. This approach allows beauty professionals to keep 100% of their profits and retail revenue, set their own hours and prices, and operate their businesses with considerable autonomy.

The suite rental includes utilities, free Wi-Fi, a complimentary web page, on-site laundry facilities, and the flexibility to share the suite with other professionals at no extra charge. "This is not a franchise business model. You rent the retail unit and operate your business from that nail salon suite," Scharton added, emphasizing the independence offered to tenants.

Hill Country Salon Suites currently houses twenty-six salon suite rentals in Georgetown, TX. The facility caters to a diverse range of beauty and wellness professionals, including hair stylists, barbers, estheticians, med spa operators, nail technicians, lash artists, and even physical therapists.

This innovative approach to salon ownership is reshaping the beauty industry landscape, making entrepreneurship more accessible to talented professionals who may have previously found the cost of leasing a traditional retail location prohibitive. As Scharton noted, "For all of those talented professionals who once believed they could not afford to own a salon, Hill Country Salon Suites is proof that it is possible."

The success of Xochitl Nails and the Hill Country Salon Suites model may signal a shift in how beauty professionals approach business ownership, potentially leading to a more diverse and vibrant beauty industry landscape in Georgetown and beyond.
