Phenix Salon Suites Announces Three-Unit Development Agreement in the Northeast

The Nation’s Fastest Growing Salon Suite Franchise Continues Expansion in New York and New Jersey

April 07, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // New York, N.Y. – Phenix Salon Suites, the nation’s #1 salon suite franchise, announced its expansion in the Northeast with a newly signed development agreement with Filakan Holdings, LLC. The agreement will bring three Phenix Salon Suites locations to the New York and New Jersey markets, led by entrepreneurs Anthony and Sava Filacouris.

Through this agreement, the team will introduce the brand’s premium salon suite concept to beauty and wellness professionals across the region, providing fully equipped, customizable suites designed to support independent Lifestyle Professionals, including hairstylists, nail technicians, estheticians, massage therapists, and other wellness specialists who are looking to build and grow their own businesses.

The partners bring entrepreneurial experience from the retail wine and liquor industry, where they have built careers centered on sales, customer service and day-to-day business operations. As business owners in their local communities, the team was drawn to the Phenix Salon Suites model as an opportunity to diversify their portfolio while supporting independent Lifestyle Professionals seeking greater control over their careers.

“Phenix Salon Suites offers an environment where professionals can take ownership of their business while benefiting from a supportive community,” said Anthony Filacouris, a representative of Filakan Holdings, LLC. “The brand’s proven model and strong reputation in the salon suite industry made it a natural fit for us as operators. We’re happy to introduce this opportunity to beauty and wellness professionals across Long Island and the surrounding markets.”

The partners will focus their development efforts across the New York and New Jersey region, with an initial emphasis on Long Island, where they currently live and operate businesses. Site selection for their first location is already underway.

“Anthony and Sava bring strong entrepreneurial experience and a commitment to serving their local communities,” said Brian Kelley, President and CEO of Phenix Salon Suites. “The New York and New Jersey markets have always represented strong opportunities for Phenix, and we look forward to working alongside this team to introduce our model to more Lifestyle Professionals across the region.”

While no salon experience is necessary, the most successful Phenix Salon Suites franchisees have working knowledge of commercial real estate, general business experience, and are well-capitalized with the ability to invest $250,000 or more. Regardless of experience, Phenix offers support throughout the entire franchising process, including site selection, lease negotiation, construction and operations. Phenix recently cost-engineered the buildout for new locations, realizing up to a 20% reduction in construction costs. Declining interest rates and a reduction in construction costs have positioned Phenix for a strong year of growth ahead. Financing is available through our lending partners.
