OWN Studios Lock your rate
Philadelphia · Private salon studios

A space of
your own.

We're opening a home for independent beauty professionals in Philadelphia — private, secure studios you run as your own business.

Founding rate Studios are expected to run $275–$325 a week. Join before we open and your rate is locked for your first term.

Takes about a minute. No deposit, no commitment, and we'll only follow up with real news.

The launch package

You leave with more than you arrived with.

Every studio comes with a brand and a website built for your business — not ours. It's the part most people put off for a year because it costs money they'd rather put into a chair.

  • A logo and visual identity — your name, your colors, done properly.
  • A booking-ready website that takes appointments, not just a link in a bio.
  • Business cards and social templates so your posts look like a business.

It's built by our in-house marketing agency — the same team that runs marketing for OWN Studios itself. Not outsourced, and not a template with your name dropped in.

Three we built, three completely different businesses — see the full brand kits, logo through to social.

And it's yours. If you outgrow us and open your own place down the street, all of it goes with you.

What's included

Not just four walls and a chair.

Most studio rentals hand you a room and a key. We're building the layer above that — the parts of running your own business that eat your evenings.

01

Your own private studio

Floor-to-ceiling walls, a door only you open, your name on it. Decorate it however you want — it's yours.

02

Built for real services

Proper ventilation for color and nail work, and plumbing that can take a wash bowl in the room rather than down the hall.

03

Booking software included

Scheduling, reminders and payments, set up for you and covered in your rent. No separate subscription.

04

Liability insurance

Professional coverage bundled in, so you're protected from day one without shopping for a policy.

05

24/7 secure access

Your own key. Take a 7am blowout or a 10pm color correction — your schedule, not a landlord's hours.

06

Everything else handled

Utilities, wifi, laundry, cleaning, product ordering and a stocked dispensary. One flat weekly rent.

A quiet corridor of private studio doors lit by warm sconces — design concept.
Own your craft. Own your schedule. Own your future.

Independence · Community · Opportunity

Who it's for

Built for people already doing the work.

Every kind of beauty professional — if you have the clients and the skill, what you're missing is a room that's yours.

  • Hairstylists and barbers tired of splitting every ticket with a salon that didn't book the client.
  • Braiders and natural hair specialists who need long appointment windows and real privacy.
  • Estheticians, lash and brow artists whose service needs a quiet, controlled room.
  • Nail techs who want proper ventilation and their own setup.
  • Anyone renting a booth and wondering why they're paying salon rent for a corner.
The waitlist

Tell us what you'd actually want.

We're building OWN Studios for independent beauty professionals in Philadelphia, and we'd rather design it around real answers than assumptions.

Tell us what you do, where you'd want to work, and which of it you'd genuinely use. It takes about a minute, and you'll hear from us before studios go public.

For everyone who joins before we open
  • A founding rate — expected $275–$325 a week. The range depends on studio size and layout, and final pricing is set when we sign the space. Everything on this page is included at that rate — utilities, insurance, booking software, and your brand and website. Join before we open and yours is locked for your first term. No deposit, no commitment now.
  • A studio built around you. Tell us how you actually work and we'll design your room to suit it — layout, storage and equipment settled before we build, not after.

The images and video on this page are design concepts, created to show the intended look and feel.
