Experience Salon Studios Wake Forest

Experience Salon Studios has three locations: one in Raleigh at 700 Exposition Place, and two in Wake Forest, at 1600 Heritage Commerce Court and on Rogers Road. According to the salon, it is a leading hair and nail salon serving Wake Forest and Raleigh, and it reports a team of 20 salon professionals across its locations.

Beyond the services it offers, the business is built around studio rentals. Each studio is run independently by its own professional business owner, who rents an individual private studio and has access to the salon around the clock, every day of the week. Weekly rent is described as comparable to a typical booth rental, and the lease covers all utilities with no up-front costs. Studios come equipped and furnished.

Each studio starts at 132 square feet and includes a shampoo station, a styling station, a mirror and chairs, a private phone extension with voicemail, a self-locking entrance with a passcard, and a credit card machine. Shared spaces include a laundry room with two washers and dryers, a kitchen and break area, and wireless internet.

Tenants also receive Professional Courtesy Services at no additional cost. These include stationery, an individual web page, a listing in the salon directory, and mailing templates for letting clients know about a move. Leasing questions go to the leasing office by phone, at 919-453-1020 (option 0) for Wake Forest or 919-825-1575 (option 0) for Raleigh.

The salon is set up as a shared space where each stylist runs an independent business from a private studio, with the salon providing the building, utilities, equipment and shared amenities.
