A practical checklist for independent stylists opening a Knoxville suite: license, insurance, booking, and the room. Legal and money Current Tennessee license for the work you sell. Liability insurance in your name. A way to take cards that is not the old salon's terminal. A bank account for the business. A simple way to track rent, product, and payouts. You can refine the entity later. You cannot skip the license. The book A booking link you control. A client list you are allowed to take. A text or email you will send when the address changes. Policies in writing: cancel, no-show, deposit, late. Guests should see them before they sit down, not after they miss. The room A suite that matches the license: hair equipment or a spa layout. Product on the shelf. A listing on this site with a booking link once you lease. Elite Suites includes the chairs, bowls or tables, utilities, laundry, and a concierge. You bring the license, the insurance, and the book. Call (865) 684-5973 when the rest of the list is in motion. Elite Suites is a salon-suite building, not a traditional salon. Professionals are independent tenants, not employees. Monthly rent covers the private room, equipment, electric, water, Wi-Fi, laundry, climate control, and a front-desk concierge. There is no commission split and no house service menu — clients book the individual provider. Norvell spray tanning is offered at Farragut and West Town.
