WHY INDEPENDENTS CHOOSE US

Everything a salon suite

gives you — without the

salon suite price.

Predictable, honest pricing

One flat rate covers your station, utilities, Wi-Fi, and cleaning. No commission splits, no surprise fees at month end.

Flexible terms

Day passes, part-time chairs, or full-time residency. Scale up or down as your book grows — never locked into a five-year lease.

A space clients remember

Designer interiors, warm lighting, and a staffed reception make every appointment feel like a premium experience.

Built for business growth

Booking tools, retail shelf space, and content-ready corners so you can market yourself like an established brand.

A professional community

Barbers, stylists, braiders, makeup artists, and estheticians under one roof — cross-referrals happen naturally.

Turnkey and fully equipped

Chair, mirror, station storage, shampoo access, sanitation, and towels ready on day one. Bring your kit and clients.

“I went from splitting 40% to

keeping all of it.”

FROM OUR RESIDENTS

Independence, in their

words.

I was paying $1,100 a month for a suite I barely used four days a week. Here I pay less than a third and my clients think I upgraded.

Devon R.

BARBER, 9 YEARS INDEPENDENT

The reception and the lounge do half the selling for me. People walk in and immediately treat the appointment like it's a premium service.

Alicia M.

STYLIST & BRAIDER

I started with day passes while I built my book, then moved full-time. Nobody made me sign a lease to prove myself.

Trey W.

BARBER, FULL-TIME RESIDENT

As a makeup artist I never fit in at a barbershop or a salon. The vanity suites here were built for how I actually work.

FAQ

The details,

up front.

Still unsure? Bring your questions to a walkthrough — we will show you the numbers side by side with your current booth rent.

What do I need to move in?

A valid license or certification for your service, liability insurance, and your own tools. Most residents are set up and taking clients within a week of their tour.

Am I locked into a long lease?

No. Day passes are pay-as-you-go and monthly residencies run month-to-month with 30 days notice to cancel or change plans.

Is the studio only for barbers?

No. We host barbers, hairstylists, braiders, loc technicians, makeup artists, estheticians, and grooming professionals, with both barber stations and vanity suites.

Do I need my own clients to start?

It helps, but it is not required. Residents get a profile in our studio directory and walk-in traffic from reception, plus cross-referrals from other pros on the floor.

Can I set my own prices and hours?

Yes. You are an independent professional. You set your menu, your pricing, your booking system, and your schedule within your plan's access hours.

What exactly is included in the rent?

Your station, chair, mirror, lighting, locked storage, backwash access, sanitation supplies, towels and laundry, Wi-Fi, utilities, nightly cleaning, and staffed reception. You bring your tools, products, and clients.

Do you take a commission on my services?

Never. You keep 100% of your service and retail revenue. We only charge the flat membership rate for your plan.

YOUR CHAIR IS WAITING

Book a tour. Keep more of

what you earn.

Fifteen minutes on the floor is usually all it takes. Walk the studio, meet the

residents, and leave with a rate you can actually plan around.

Premium, fully equipped workstations for independent barbers, stylists, and beauty professionals.
