Salon Studios Edinburgh

With the world of business changing dramatically for people in the beauty sector, it is gratifying to know that there are options out there and with the Salon Studios Edinburgh offering a boutique and multi-discipline space, if you’re going back into the business or entering the field of beauty this has become a much more viable, cost-efficient option.

Space can be designed to suit your needs and tailored around your brand giving it a more personal touch which in the world of renting a chair or working for someone else’s salon is not always an option the Salon Studios has become known for its flexible and custom experience. Ideally suited to the needs of beauty therapists, hairdressers, barbers, nail technicians or anyone in the beauty sector who wants to have a solid base for their customers as well as themselves.

*Bridal studios and hair/makeup artists will be able to control their space much more effectively and create flexible hours to suit themselves and their clients for trials or on the day prep.

The dynamic of the Salon Studios is built around development, not just a space to work there is support for all facets of your business and development from payment control and accounting too booking. Studios are priced based on location and amenities.  Joining up is incentivized with one week for free to move in and get up and running in your new space.  After that it's a fixed cost every week - budgeting couldn’t be easier. For one rate, they include:

• Water costs.

• Electricity costs.

• PPL Music Licence.

• Health & Safety Assessment.

• Fire management program.

• Rubbish Collection.

• Fast Wi-Fi.

• Public area cleaning.

• CCTV security.

• Individual Salon access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Founded by Roz Colhart who discovered the concept of “the salon suite” in the USA, from this she has taken her near 30 years in the hospitality industry and created a business model for salon Studios: a hub for creative talent that is both business-minded and nurturing, this is a space to grow, develop and build your beauty business safe in the knowledge that you are part of a community of like-minded artisans.

Currently based in Edinburgh, there are plans for a second location in Scotland and talks across the UK to open more Salon Studio locations which in the current climate of change makes this a hugely welcome concept that will change the face of salon life and offer a new level of business security and freshen up the industry.

Searching For a Studio

We are currently on the lookout for a natural light studio to book so we can do what will be a 2-day shoot focusing on the areas of work we will be focused on in the long term.

• Portrait and beauty.

• Character and out of the box FX for film and TV.

Our goals are simple, we want to create inhouse, a series of still images that will be portfolio based for the models and ourselves to showcase not just the skill set of the team but the potential of what we are doing.

With a series of long term plans and targets for 2020, it is really interesting to get to be able to see our hard work behind the scenes coming together, we are constantly dealing with brands and opening up new avenues that will include product placement and video of the work in action. Which we might send-off to one of the many fashion film festivals if we can find something suited to our work.

In fact, part of the plan for the studio shoot is to be behind the scenes videos that will be a showcase of the work as it’s done with our Lost Boys and Lost Girls them from The Lost Project being carried over into the work we are doing.

Naturally, we will do some outdoor shoots in and around the Lost Concept in industrial and bleak landscapes, adding a touch of dystopian drama to our work.

While we are really aiming to be making waves in 2020, we are laying the groundwork now to help with the marketing push we have planned that will integrate all of our social accounts and give a deeper insight into the creative process.
