A salon studio means that you get your own private salon, available 24/7. The salon studios are move-in ready with your personalized logo on the front door, plus a fully equipped kitchen, premium flooring, a modern backwash unit, and professional lighting. Unlike traditional salon rentals, which often come with high upfront investment costs, long-term contracts with strict cancellation periods, and high monthly overheads, salon studios offer a flexible, hassle-free solution. Our flexible membership agreements allow cancellation with just 6-months’ notice, avoiding long-term commitments. This gives you the freedom to grow your business.
You have the freedom to offer any service you want, tailored to your expertise and your clients’ needs. Our studios are designed to accommodate a wide variety of treatments. In very rare cases, such as with some acrylic treatments, certain services might not be possible due to ventilation requirements, but these instances are extremely uncommon.
The space is highly customizable! You can design your studio to match your personal brand, from decor to layout. Add your logo, choose your color scheme, and create a space that feels uniquely yours.
You have complete freedom! Set your hours, choose the brands and products you work with, and manage your business your way. Our aim is to empower you to operate with independence while providing supportive infrastructure.
