The salon says chair rental avoids high lease costs and private suite overhead.

The Flex plan is a shared styling station booked as needed at $69 per day, with no recurring commitment. The Momentum plan is also a shared station, but on a set weekly schedule of two to six days; it starts at $98 per week, with individual days priced at $49. The Master plan is a dedicated station that is not shared, with 24/7 salon access and unlimited hours set by the renter, listed at $249 per week.

Each station comes with its own seat for the stylist, a mirror, a cabinet for storage, a tray, and a mat that reduces strain on the feet. Wash bowls and hair dryer spots are shared among stations. Towels and capes are supplied, and the salon handles laundry on site. Wi-Fi, utilities, and professional cleaning are also covered. Shared backbar products are provided and part of the rate on every plan. Secure product storage is on site, with flexible access hours.

Renters set their own prices, schedules and hours and keep 100% of their earnings. They receive a 20% retail commission on boutique products sold. Renters can use their own booking and checkout software or the salon's in-house system, which is optional. Prospective renters can book a 15-minute tour to see the space and meet the team.

Renters run their own business: they set prices, schedules and hours and keep their earnings, while the salon supplies the space and shared services.
