SD Salon Studios

SD Salon Studios is a salon suite collective at 8640 Guilford Road in Columbia, Maryland. The business describes itself as a luxury salon suite collective and has 17 suites for independent beauty professionals, including hairstylists, estheticians, nail artists, and lash and brow artists.

Suites are fully private and move-in-ready, offered in a range of sizes, and equipped with professional-grade equipment suited to each tenant's services. Painting of the studio is covered by the suite lease, and tenants may personalize their décor within the building's guidelines. Studio suite leases run for 3, 6, 9, or 12 months, with rates starting at $265 per week according to the FAQ. Booth rental starts at $150 per week, with leases of 1, 3, 6, 9, or 12 months. Availability is limited and offered first come, first served, and prospective tenants can join a waitlist to be notified when a space opens.

Each tenant is solely responsible for their own services, clients, products, and activities within their suite. Tenants arrange their own licensing, sanitation, and recommended business liability insurance, and everyone is expected to behave respectfully toward others in the building.

The business also sells hair products and accessories, including bundle deals, bonnets, satin scarves, edge brushes, edge bands, heat resistant combs, and detangle brushes. The owners have plans to expand and franchise the SD Salon Studios concept across the country.

Tenants pay one set weekly rent rather than a commission, keep all of their earnings, and operate under their own brand as independent business owners.

Each suite is fully private and can be decorated by the tenant within guidelines.
