Privé Salon Suites was founded in 2022 by Bill Fulkerson and Chinno Rivera, two accomplished leaders who joined forces to create a premier destination for beauty professionals. Combining Bill’s expertise in real estate and business development with Chinno’s extensive background in the salon industry, Privé Salon Suites provides a high-end, modern space where top beauty professionals can thrive and grow their businesses.

Bill Fulkerson is a seasoned businessman, investor, and visionary leader with decades of experience across industries. His extensive background in real estate, including the development and management of over 250,000 square feet of retail space, has been instrumental in shaping Privé’s upscale and functional design. With a proven track record of creating successful spaces for national tenants like Starbucks, Verizon Wireless, and Kay Jewelers, Bill brought his expertise to Privé to ensure it would offer beauty professionals not only prime locations but also an unparalleled environment for success.

Chinno Rivera brings over 23 years of experience in the beauty industry, making him a true expert and innovator in his field. As the founder of Chinno’s Barbershop, established in 2015, he built a reputation for excellence and leadership. Chinno is a licensed Barber, Cosmetologist, and Beauty Instructor, demonstrating his deep commitment to the craft and the education of beauty professionals. His accomplishments include serving as an International Educator with Johnny B Haircare, representing the USA and Canada, and teaching on some of the biggest stages in the industry, including the American Beauty Show (Orlando & Ohio), the International Beauty Show (Chicago), and the CosmoProf Hair Show (Nashville & Vegas).

Recognizing the need for an upscale, professional environment where beauty entrepreneurs could thrive, Bill and Chinno combined their strengths to create Privé Salon Suites. Their shared vision was to build more than just a salon suite business; they wanted to empower hairstylists, barbers, estheticians, and nail technicians by providing them with the tools and space they need to succeed. Privé’s luxurious, thoughtfully designed suites, combined with its supportive environment, reflect this mission.

Bill’s real estate expertise ensured that Privé Salon Suites would feature spacious, well-located properties, while Chinno’s deep industry knowledge influenced every detail of the suites, from their functionality to the professional development opportunities offered. Together, they designed Privé to not only be a home for beauty professionals but also a springboard for their careers.

Through their leadership, Bill and Chinno have created a space that goes beyond providing rental suites. Privé Salon Suites offers its tenants access to modern amenities, continuing education, and a supportive community, fostering independence and growth. Their shared passion for excellence and entrepreneurship has elevated the salon suite industry, setting a new standard for success and opportunity within the community. Privé Salon Suites is more than a business—it’s a legacy of empowerment for the beauty professionals who call it home.
