Arch Salon & Suites

Arch Salon & Suites is a collective of independent stylists and beauty professionals. Rather than working as employees, each provider rents a chair or suite and runs their own business within the salon as an independent contractor. The business aims to offer a high-end space where independent professionals can develop their craft and grow their businesses.

Hair services offered across the collective include color, styling, cuts and extensions. Skin and beauty services include fillers, toxins, facials, spray tans and lashes. The in-salon shop sells products from some top beauty lines.

Booking happens provider by provider. Some providers use the salon's booking software and others use their own systems, and each provider's booking link sits under their photo. Clients who are unsure whom to book can phone the salon, where a Salon Coordinator helps arrange general appointments. New and returning guests keep a credit card on file in the encrypted booking system, and a text confirmation arrives before each visit. Minnesota locations ask for at least 24 hours' notice for changes or cancellations, while Denver asks for 48 hours. Some independent stylists set their own cancellation terms, and those apply to their bookings. Changes made inside the notice period, and no-shows, are charged 100% of the scheduled service total.

Each location is staffed with full-time managers who support salon owners and their clients. Parking near the North Loop location includes the Second + Second Parking Garage at 128 N Second St and the Archive Parking Garage at 110 N First St. The business describes its space as focused on calm and luxury, with careful attention to design.
