Why barbers choose Reed + Willow
over the alternatives.
environment
-
Your clientele follows you — make sure you're somewhere worth following. If you've built a loyal book, they'll come wherever you go. Reed + Willow's high-end environment tells your clients you've leveled up.
flat rate
-
Flat weekly rate beats commission every time.
Think about what you gross in a month, then think about what percentage you're losing to someone else's name above the door. Your busy weeks should be fully yours. Ask to see our "Tenant Profit Calculator" to help you see the math for yourself.
locAL
-
Locally owned means actual support.
We're not a corporate franchise. The owners are STL born and raised, responsive, and invested in every renter's success.
Answers before your tour
What's included in the business startup package?
The startup package includes information on business entity formation, tax planning, professional licensing, insurance, business setup, marketing, suite setup, and salon operations but we are always available if you have any additional questions or need specific guidance.
Your weekly rate covers the suite itself (cabinetry, a
shampoo bowl, and mirror), all utilities (electricity, water,
climate control), high-speed Wi-Fi, use of common areas such as
the large break room and color processing area, a dedicated webpage on reedandwillowsalon.com, and two weeks of free
vacation per year where you can pause your rent. You provide your own professional products and carry your own liability insurance — that's standard for independent suite renters regardless
of location. No hidden fees, no common-area surcharges on top of rent. When you tour, we'll walk you through exact current pricing.
Do I need an established clientele before I can rent?
While salon suites
are best suited for barbers who already have an established book of business, Reed and Willow does provide tools to help you build and retain clients. We provide you a personal webpage on reedandwillowsalon.com, with social media integration and send out notices when new clients call the salon looking for a barber. If you have a fairly full book and you're ready to stop splitting your income, you're ready. If you're unsure, we can send you our "Tenant Profit Calculator" so you can see if the suite life is the right fit for you.
What's included
in the weekly rent?
What equipment comes with the suite — Can I bring my own chair?
Each suite at Reed + Willow comes equipped with a backwash shampoo bowl, a mirror, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, integrated wireless phone chargers, ample outlets, 90+ CRI lighting and a damper to control the airflow within your suite. Discuss your specific equipment needs during your tour — if you have a barber chair you love and want to bring it, you are welcome to. Don't need a shampoo bowl? No problem, we can remove it. The goal is to get you operational from day one without having to source a full buildout before you can take your first client.
How much
does it cost to rent a salon suite in St. Charles County?
Suite rental rates in the St. Charles County and St. Louis area vary based on suite size and what's included. At Reed + Willow, pricing is discussed directly during your tour because we want to match you to the right suite first — not quote you a number before you've seen the space or understood what's included. What we can tell you: there are no
commission splits, no revenue percentages owed to
us. You pay a flat weekly rate and keep every
dollar you earn from every service you
perform.
Can I style my suite and
make it my own brand?
Yes — the suite is your business space, not ours. You're free to decorate it to reflect your brand and create the client experience you want. If you have specific questions about what changes are permitted (paint, shelving, signage), ask during your tour and we'll give you a straight answer.
Most renters at Reed + Willow have personalized their spaces significantly.
what are the lease terms?
Reed + Willow requires a one-year lease. That's worth knowing upfront. Here's why it works in your favor: a one-year commitment means your suite is yours — no one can bump you or raise your rate mid-term. It also means your fellow suite owners are committed professionals, not people rotating in and out every few weeks. If you have a solid client base and you're serious about building your business independently, a year goes fast. If you're not sure you're ready for that level of commitment yet, that's a useful thing to know about yourself before signing anything. Come tour, ask your questions, and make the call once you have all the information.
Do I need a business license or barber license to rent a suite?
Yes — you need valid
Missouri barber license to perform services from your suite as well as a rental license. You also need a separate business license from Weldon Spring and a Merchant license from St. Charles if you plan to sell products. Luckily our "Welcome Packet" guides you through each of these steps with links and all information you need to get your new business up and running.
Will I have access to
my suite 24/7, or are there set building hours?
Yes — you have 24/7 access to your
suite. Your schedule is yours. If you
have a client who needs a 7am
appointment before work or a 9pm appointment after dinner, that's between you and your client. All suite owners at Reed + Willow have 24/7 access through an app on your phone and can unlock the front door remotely for clients if they arrive after hours.
Is
there space for a second chair if I want to bring an associate?
Yep! We have 2 double suites that are larger and can accommodate two chairs with 2-4 barbers sharing the space depending on their hours. Bring this up when you schedule your tour and we will
let you know what we have available.
