Launching first in Guildford.
WHY INDEPENDENT
You’ve spent years building your skills, reputation and clientele.
But traditional salon models can still mean fitting around someone else’s diary, commission structure, rules and decisions, while much of the value you create goes into building somebody else’s business.
You’ve grown. Your clientele has grown. The way you work may not have.
01
YOUR TIME.
Set your own diary. Work when it works for you.
02 YOUR EARNINGS. Set your own prices and keep more of what you earn.
03 YOUR BUSINESS. Build your own clientele, reputation and name.
04 YOUR WAY. Choose your products, your working style and the experience you create.
YOUR SPACE
A space designed around the way independent stylists actually want to work.
Your own semi-private workspace gives you room to create the experience you want for your clients, while still being around other independent stylists.

WHAT INDEPENDENCE LOOKS LIKE
YOUR TIME. YOUR EARNINGS. YOUR DIRECTION.
You’ve already built the skills and the clientele. Independence gives you more say over what you build with them.
Don’t stay stuck in a way of working you’ve outgrown.
