Salon Booth Rental Made Simple
Rent a booth, chair, or station — or list your empty chairs to independent pros ready to work.
Booth rental (also called chair rental or station rental) lets beauty professionals run their own business inside an established salon, barbershop, or studio. You pay a flat weekly or monthly rent instead of splitting commission, keep your own clients and schedule, and skip the overhead of opening your own shop. Stylist Connect connects independent stylists, barbers, nail techs, and estheticians with booth rentals near them — and helps shop owners fill empty chairs fast.

How much does booth rental cost?
Booth rent varies widely by city, salon, and what's included — many U.S. booth and chair rentals run roughly $150–$400 per week, with prime locations costing more. Because renters keep their full service revenue and tips (instead of giving up a commission split), many established pros come out ahead. Always confirm exact rent, deposit, and what's provided directly with the salon.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between booth rental, chair rental, and station rental?
They're largely the same thing — paying a flat fee to use a workspace inside someone else's salon. 'Chair rental' usually implies a single chair in a shared space, 'booth rental' a slightly larger or more private station, and 'station rental' refers to the work area itself. Stylist Connect lists all three under booth/station rentals.
Is booth rental better than working on commission?
It depends on your client base. Booth renters pay flat rent but keep 100% of their service revenue and tips, set their own hours, and run their own business (typically as a 1099 independent contractor). Commission roles trade a revenue split for a steadier setup with fewer overhead responsibilities. Renting tends to favor pros with an established clientele.
