Benefits beyond the chair

Independent doesn't mean on your own.

Most suite leases treat you like a tenant. We built in time off, because life happens to people who rent studios too.

Our story

A Raleigh-owned suite building, kept small on purpose.

Shelby Vaughn, owner of Trade Salon Studios
Shelby VaughnOwner, Trade Salon Studios

Trade Salon Studios is owned and operated by a local beauty professional, not a corporate office. We kept it to nine studios so everyone knows each other's names, the building stays calm for clients, and you always know who to call when you need something.

The big suite brands work for a lot of stylists. Trade is for the ones who want something more personal: a boutique building near the heart of North Hills, a community of independent pros, and an owner who understands the work because she does it too.

Nine studios, not ninetyA tight-knit building where you know your neighbors.
Locally ownedYou'll deal directly with the owner, not a call center.
Built for the workShampoo bowls in every studio, laundry down the hall.
Benefits that countReal leave for growing families and earned vacation.
