3 6 9 Studios

369 Studios is a full-service salon and educational community space on Columbia Avenue in Minneapolis. The business describes itself as a non-profit that engages young people in the creative trades, and it offers classes, programs and camps for both professionals and youth.

The salon has four stations and a mix of part-time and full-time stylists. Full-time stations include online scheduling, shampoo bowls, a dispensary room, storage, a break room and access to the photo studio. Each full-time stylist sets their own menus, services and hours, and three full-time stations are currently in use with room for one more.

Stylists and creatives can also rent space. A daily station rental covers eight hours for $50 and can be booked online, and shampoo bowls are available with daily rentals. An alley studio with privacy and seating for guests is available with daily rentals, and a bridal trial dual hair and makeup station of two and a half hours can be booked online. A photo studio attached to the salon is open to creatives.

The salon also offers mobile services for special events, held at a location the client chooses.

The salon is education-first and community-minded, pairing everyday services with training for professionals and youth, and giving stylists flexible ways to rent space.

The salon describes its space as one of a kind, set up for collaboration and inspiration.
