Total Salon Solutions

Twenty small businesses under one roof

This is the ninth Total Salon Solutions centre Accelerated Contracting, LLC has built in the last few years — an 8,000 square foot building with 20 stations for salon owner-operators, each with 150 square feet of workspace. The model lets stylists start and grow their own small business in a space designed for their specific needs, in a location that brings customers to the door.

The design problem is the tension between privacy and capacity: every square foot given to a corridor is a square foot taken from a station. Angled walls resolve it, giving each operator the feel of an intimate space while still fitting all twenty into the building. The mechanical system matches that care — 50% outside air exchange, with the air inside replaced every seven minutes.
