One of the biggest misconceptions about booth rental is that because you collect 100% of your sales, you keep more money. But revenue and profit aren’t the same thing. Between color, backbar, retail inventory, processing fees, software, marketing, taxes, insurance, education, and everything else that comes with owning your own business, many stylists are surprised to learn how little they’re actually taking home.
We’ve worked hard to build a different kind of commission salon—one that puts our stylists first.
When life happens, we want to be in your corner. Need maternity leave? You won’t be stressing about booth rent while you’re home with your baby. Want to take a vacation? We encourage it (and give you one week of paid time off). Need education? We invest in your growth. Want more clients? We’ll help fill your books.
You don’t have to carry the weight of running a business by yourself anymore.
If you’re looking for a place where you can build a successful career, earn a great living, and still have the freedom to enjoy your life outside the salon, we’d love to show you what’s possible.
Because success shouldn’t require sacrificing your free time or your family.
We know that most stylists dream of the independence that comes with working solo. However, we understand how fulfilling it can be to have a community of goal-driven stylists around you! That’s why we’ve shaken things up with our modern commission salon structure.
Come enjoy a positive team environment and take the weight off your back of not having to worry about ordering color, making appointments, or paying taxes.
With our unique approach to the commison structure, it allows us to provide our team freedom and flexibiltiy while also maintaining support and structure.
We want you to love the work you do, the schedule you have, and have work-life balance. That is why we are hiring for full time and part time stylist positions. We know balance looks different for everyone. Whether you’re a mom juggling life with the kiddos or just don’t want a “normal” stylist schedule , we work with our team to build a schedule that fits their life, not the other way around.

Built for experienced stylists.
Maybe you’ve been renting a booth or suite for years, and honestly, we get why. For a long time, it felt like the only way to have freedom AND make good money.

That’s what we do.
