Why L’Abri Exists — and What We’re Seeing in the Industry

January 16, 2026

Independence looks different these days — and we’re here for it.

The beauty and wellness industry is evolving, and it’s an exciting time to be an independent professional.


More people are choosing to work for themselves, move into suites, and build businesses on their own terms. With that shift has come a new focus on where and how we work — not just the services we provide.


What’s trending isn’t just salon suites — it’s intentional spaces. Professionals are looking for environments that feel professional, welcoming, and connected, while still allowing full independence.


We’re seeing more emphasis on:

  • Owning your business while staying connected
  • Shared environments that spark inspiration
  • Education around pricing, profitability, and sustainability
  • Workspaces that support balance and longevity


L’Abri was created in response to this shift — bringing together private suites, shared spaces, and access to resources that support both independence and growth.

This blog will share insight into the business of beauty and wellness, industry trends, and life inside L’Abri — with an educational, practical, and approachable perspective.
