My Salon Suite, a salon suite franchise focused on providing beauty, health, and wellness professionals a personal space to build their business, shows up for pros with its Suite Relief Disaster Relief Program. In 2024, the program reached its most impactful year to date, distributing $143,870 in aid to over 330 Members affected by disasters across the country. As the 2025 hurricane season ramps up, here’s what you need to know.
What is the Suite Relief Disaster Relief Program?
Founded in 2020 in partnership with PBA Charities, the Suite Relief Disaster Relief Program was specifically designed to provide emergency financial support to My Salon Suite Members impacted by natural disasters.
What is Program’s Impact?
Since its inception, the program has provided more than $252,370 in relief to over 470 Members facing hardship from natural disasters. In 2024 alone, $143,870 was distributed to more than 330 Members nationwide — making it the program’s most impactful year to date. In comparison, 2023 saw $10,000 distributed to Members after devastating hurricanes hit parts of North Carolina and Florida.
Who Has Been Helped?
Among the recipients the Suite Relief Disaster Relief Program has supported is Elsa, a stylist from Largo, Florida, who lost her home, car, and pets in a 2023 hurricane. She used a $1,000 grant from the program to purchase a new vehicle and begin rebuilding. Her location owner, Becky Sajeski, also provided local support, helping her team recover by waiving rent, offering laundry access, and coordinating emergency housing. “It’s incredibly hard to describe the mental stress that happens,” said Sajeski. “Some people walked away from their homes and haven’t returned. I tried to do what I could — waived rent, helped with housing, opened the laundry to anyone without power. You just want people to know they’re supported.”
Why Are We Bringing This to Your Attention?
With the 2025 hurricane season entering its peak, My Salon Suite is reminding Members and Franchise Partners of the importance of proactive disaster planning, as well as the strength of community-driven support programs like the Suite Relief Disaster Relief Program.
