Calling all beauty and wellness independents with scroll-stopping suites!
If your microbusiness is as polished, stylish, and detail-oriented as the transformations you deliver, we want to show it off.
American Salon and American Spa are accepting entries through June 19 for their 2026 Instagram contest, THE SUITE SPOT: The Most Instagrammable Salon or Spa Suite, celebrating next-level spaces run by beauty, barber, and wellness independents.
The contest is open to microbusinesses operated from a studio or suite — one room, one chair or treatment table, one standout professional delivering elite beauty, barber, or spa services.
Who's eligible? Independent barbers, estheticians, hairstylists, lash or brow artists, makeup artists, massage therapists, nail artists, and waxing specialists.
To enter, tag @american_salon or @americanspamag with the hashtag #suitespot2026 on an Instagram post that shows your entire suite through photos, video, or both. It doesn't have to be a new post, but it should show your suite as it looks now!
The most snatched suites will compete in a public vote from June 23-29 on American Salon and American Spa.
The winner gets a $500 gift card and free yearly membership to contest sponsor giveBeauty; a feature article in American Salon and American Spa, two VIP tickets to the Be+Well | Beauty and Wellness Show in Las Vegas, New York, or Florida, and more. The runner-up gets a $200 giveBeauty gift card.
Run to Instagram by Friday, June 19 and start tagging those sweet suites!
