WANT TO RENT AT THE COLOUR ROOM?

We currently have a booth available for rent.

New to booth rental? Don’t worry! We can help make the transition smooth.

It is my personal Mission to guide stylists to change the way they see themselves as business owners, so they can feel confident in their ability to run their business,  make great money, plan and save for their future, and enjoy those days off. I do this by offering constant sources of support and education, evolving based on my renter’s feedback,  and renting booths to positive, goal oriented stylists, so that their business is respected as professional and valuable.

I am a stylist myself and I know how challenging it can be to find the right salon home. THat’s why I am constantly taking education to learn to be the best leader, owner and stylist that i can be, and why I will allow only the right renter into our space. 

Thank you for considering our space for your business .

Nicole , Owner since 2016.

First and foremost, I believe in pricing transparency. 

Full time is considered 4 days a week or more and that starts at $850.

Why? Because when you are your own boss, the time you spend behind the chair doing hair is only a fraction of the time you spend on your business and it’s very easy to work 40 hours a week in a 4 day work week. 

Part time is $700 a month.

I use a set monthly model so my booth renters can predict how much their rent will be every month, vs a daily or weekly model, which would change every month.

For reference, that is about half of what a renter would pay to have a one chair suite. Plus the perk of working part time, which isn’t an option at a lot of salons or suite rentals.

Leases are yearly.

There is a $300 non-refundable cleaning fee .

I am SO PROUD to say that our salon team has been renting for many years at The Colour Room. Many for 10 years + and the few that have left have gone on to great success opening their own businesses and we are so proud to have been part of their journey! We know that we are a great fit for the right stylist, since we have retained talent for many years.

The stylists are all motivated, positive and talented.  They love education, collaboration and being their own boss. Everyone values the relaxed atmosphere, but maintains professionalism, as it effects the whole team if those standards slip. We want someone who is going to align with these values. 

Being your own boss and renting a booth is for you if:

-You have a clientele built already that come to your salon for YOU.
-You know what products you love using and what services you like to do.
-You like working in an environment where you are NOT micromanaged.
-You want to set your own hours, prices and schedule.

Leaving commission can seem stressful, but we have all made the jump and are happier for it.

Thinking about renting a studio space vs a booth?

Did you know in most studio spaces;

– The starting rent (which normally is a room without a window) is over double our monthly rent. Ever try doing hair or taking a pic for social media without daylight? Hard to do your job.
-You have to provide EVERYTHING ( think drinks for clients, your own bowls, towels, etc., your own website.)
-You have to take your towels and capes home to wash or spend $ on a laundry service.
– Building a clientele is harder because a new business takes time to grow online, on google and yelp.
-You are alone, so if you run out of a product like color, you can’t borrow any in a pinch. Plus, you are alone so you don’t have anyone to bounce formula ideas off of, or help if you need to get a client in and you have to take a day off.

But not as a booth renter at our salon 🙂

Included in your rent we have:
-Bottled water/ pop/ coffee for your clients.
-High speed Wi-Fi.
-We feature each stylist and their work on our social media and Yelp.
-Your own page on our website so your clients can see your work, pricing, hours and contact info.
-Storage space for your products.
-Retail space available if you like to sell retail.
-Shared use of tools if you don’t have your own yet ( color bowls, brushes, combs, robes, etc)

Our salon also has :
-Excellent ratings on Yelp , so you will be able to get new clients quickly.
-Lots of paid street parking on Lincoln Ave. for clients .
-Parking behind the salon ( if available) at no charge.
-Parking passes during cubs season.
-Conveniently located between the Addison and Paulina Brown Line stops.
-Shared laundry duty so no having to buy your own towels, and no having to wash them at home.
-Options for full or part time.
-Your own key and security code so you can come and go on your own schedule.
– A week vacation after a year.

So if you have questions , please reach out and we are happy to meet you, give you a tour and help you start your transition into booth renting today.
