July 09, 2025 // Franchising.com // TAMPA, Fla. – Phenix Salon Suites, the nation’s #1 salon suite franchise, is continuing to accelerate its worldwide expansion plans in 2025 through its latest agreement, this time with entrepreneur Michael Reale, to open two new facilities in the Tampa, FL region.
These two latest additions to Phenix’s footprint in the Tampa, FL market build on the brand’s first location that successfully opened earlier this year in March, expanding access for more Lifestyle Professionals to launch and grow their own businesses. With a strong presence in the region, Phenix is well-positioned to support the thriving wellness and beauty industries within the heart of Tampa.
“Phenix Salon Suites offers more than just space—it provides a platform that entrepreneurs in the beauty and wellness industries can utilize for real independence and success,” said Reale. “With the brand’s supportive network and family-driven culture, we’re proud to bring this concept to Tampa and create a hub where talented professionals can build their own futures.”
With a professional career spanning nearly three decades, Reale brings a wealth of business acumen and service-driven expertise to his newest venture with Phenix Salon Suites. As a pediatric dentist in private practice for over 30 years and a dental school professor for 17 years, he has honed his skills in cultivating meaningful relationships with clients and colleagues alike. His deep understanding of delivering high-quality, personalized service translates seamlessly into his latest venture, where empowering independent professionals and creating a welcoming, client-focused environment is key.
“Tampa is a city that’s filled with opportunity for expanding the Phenix Salon Suites network of locations,” said Brian Kelley, President & CEO of Phenix Salon Suites. “We’re excited to put our focus towards better serving health, wellness and beauty entrepreneurs in the Tampa market with an elevated footprint to support Lifestyle Professionals. We are committed to bringing unparalleled opportunities for Lifestyle Professionals to pursue their dreams in owning their own business.”
The two upcoming Tampa-area locations are scheduled to open by 2026. With the region’s strong population growth and untapped potential, Tampa presents an ideal opportunity for entrepreneurs to join the Phenix Salon Suites community and bring their business visions to life.
