Top 5 Reasons You as an Independent Stylist should choose Aspen and Ash Collective as your new salon home!

#1. Your clients are the reason you're here! Service should always be top tier. Allow your clients to indulge in a calm, friendly, luxury space designed for comfort. Welcome them to our snack and beverage bar and shampoo them in a full reclined chair to elevate their experience.

#2. At Aspen and Ash we believe that iron sharpens iron. There is value in working around like-minded, motivated stylists who desire inspiration and growth over competition.

#3. Feel free to grow your brand! Do you have your own product line or extension line, feel free to use your own brand name, after all you are still your own boss!

#4. The most beautiful part of being an Independent Stylist is that you get to keep your individuality. We all have our fave products that we know and love. We don't require every stylist to use the same products. Use what you love.

#5. Aspen and Ash Collective is all about community and growth! We want our stylists to develop. We offer access to the entire salon space if you would like to use it to teach a class, our salon is also equipped with a full projector screen, a bar to set up lunch or snacks, a private restroom and ample parking!
