This space wasn’t built to be a traditional salon 🖤

It came from not fitting into those spaces in the first place.
From knowing that the usual environment doesn’t work for everyone; stylists or clients.

We kept hearing the same thing over and over.
Clients wanting somewhere they could actually feel comfortable.

Stylists burning out, wanting to do good work without the pressure, ego, or expectations that come with a lot of salon environments.

So we built something different.

A space that’s a little quieter, a little more grounded.
Community-minded, but still independent.

Where people can take pride in what they do, grow at their own pace, and not feel like they have to fit into something that doesn’t make sense for them.

We run community days, support local artists, and try to give back where we can.

It’s not perfect, but it’s intentional.

And the people here reflect that.

We’re not looking for just anyone.

We’re looking for the right fit.
Someone who’s self-driven, does solid work, and wants to be part of a space that actually means something.

A bit of a misfit, in the best way.

Not ready to rent a chair yet? That’s okay.

We’re open to commission stylists who already have a bit of a clientele and are looking for something outside of the traditional salon setup.

Less traditional, more intentional, but still rooted in strong work, accountability, and being part of the space.

A good fit for someone who wants support, but doesn’t need to be managed.
Someone who takes pride in what they do and respects the environment they’re in and the people they work with.

There’s also the option to grow into chair rental over time, if that’s something you want.
