What it is

Salon Business Loans, explained in plain English

Salon business loans cover the most common needs for salon, spa, and barbershop owners: build-out for a new location, equipment (chairs, dryers, treatment beds), inventory (retail product), and working capital for slow seasons or marketing pushes.

For Dallas-area salons we mix SBA (for acquisition and larger build-outs), equipment financing (for chairs and capital equipment), and short-term working-capital products (for cash-flow needs and marketing).

Compass Lenders is not a lender. We're a Dallas-based advisory firm that places your file with the lender most likely to fund it on the best terms, and we get paid only when your deal closes.

Costs vary widely by build-out scope and location. Typical full build-outs run $75K-$300K including equipment. Final rates and terms depend on the lender and the borrower's profile.
