Salon & beauty space · Los Angeles & Orange County
Space that makes the cut.
Hair, nails, lashes, brows and barbering all depend on the same few things: water at every bowl, air that clears the chemicals, and a storefront people notice on the way past. We help salon and beauty owners across Los Angeles and Orange County find that space, lease it on terms that hold up, buy their building, or sell the business when it's time.

Leasing, buying and selling salon space in Los Angeles & Orange County
Lease
A lease that looks as good as your work.
Storefront, suite or something in between. We find the space with the plumbing, ventilation and visibility your chairs need, and negotiate the allowance, signage and renewal terms that let you stay and grow.
Own
Own the chair and the building.
An established salon often pays for a building owner's mortgage for years. Buying your own puts that rent toward an asset you control. We run the comparison on your numbers first.
Manage
Own your building? We'll run it.
Once you own the building, the spare suites, the rent and the repairs are yours to handle. We lease the space you don't use, collect the rent and keep the building running, so you can run the business.
Sell
Go out on a good hair day.
Selling the salon, its equipment or its lease? We price it on what a buyer will really pay and bring buyers who can take your team and clients forward.
What we look for in a salon
The chairs are the easy part. What decides a salon space is behind the walls and above the ceiling:
- Plumbing. Drains and supply lines for every shampoo bowl, and a slab that can be trenched if they aren't there yet. Moving a bowl row later is one of the most expensive changes a salon can make.
- Hot water. A water heater sized for a full Saturday, not one sink at a time.
- Ventilation. Color, chemical and nail services need real exhaust, for your team, your clients and the neighbors. In a multi-tenant building we check where the air will go before you sign.
- Power. Enough circuits for dryers, irons and tools running at once.
- Visibility. Frontage, sight lines and signage rights for walk-ins, and parking that works on the busiest days of your week.
We also help you choose the format. A full storefront builds a brand and a team under your own name. A salon suite costs less to open and suits a solo stylist. A space set up for booth rental changes how the lease and the build-out should be structured. We'll show you the costs side by side.
Every salon in California also needs an establishment license from the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. Your build-out has to support the inspection, so we factor in the timing.
A storefront worth the walk-in
Salons live on visibility and word of mouth. We look for the space that brings both, and a lease that lets you take the suite next door when you're ready to add chairs.
Questions we hear
What should I check in a space before I sign for a salon?
Electrical capacity, water service, hot water and where drains can go. Each shampoo station needs plumbing, and that's usually what breaks a salon budget, not paint. We check it before you tour.
Do nail services need special ventilation?
Generally yes. Codes typically require source-capture exhaust at nail stations, vented outside, and ordinary HVAC or air purifiers don't satisfy it. We confirm with the city and price it into the plan before you commit to a nail bar.
Do I need a state establishment license for my salon?
Yes, from the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, before opening. In suite buildings, the licensing model differs depending on how the building is run. Know which model you're in; the Board confirms.
What does the landlord deliver, and what do I build?
It should be in writing. A "warm shell" ought to spell out HVAC, electrical, water and restrooms; "as-is" means the surprises are yours. We work to get the delivery condition into the letter of intent so the lease reflects it.
What's my salon worth when I sell?
Buyers pay for clients who rebook, stylists who stay and a lease they can take over. A booth-rental salon usually has less to sell than a commission salon with a team. A transferable lease with term left is often the first thing a buyer's lender asks about.
