Rent a Chair at Salon Sapphire
Independent & Supported
In the heart of downtown Clarendon Hills
You built your book. You set your prices. You own your schedule. What you shouldn't have to do alone is everything else.
Salon Sapphire is a community of independent stylists, barbers, and estheticians working under one roof at 215 Burlington Ave — steps from the Clarendon Hills Metra station, surrounded by foot traffic, and backed by a salon brand with 200+ five-star Google reviews that markets for you.
Why Professionals Choose Salon Sapphire
Keep 100% of your service revenue. One flat monthly rental. No commission splits, no product quotas, no surprises.
A brand that fills chairs. The salon's website, Google profile, and social channels promote every professional in the building. When Salon Sapphire ranks for "balayage Clarendon Hills," that client can land in your chair.
High-end space, zero buildout. Modern stations, quality wet stations, private esthetics rooms, comfortable client lounge, and a location clients love to walk into.
Community without the drama. Work alongside seasoned professionals — some with 30+ years behind the chair — who chose independence without isolation.
Business coaching included. Carey has grown a salon from scratch and shares what works: pricing, rebooking, building your book.

Secure, dedicated workstation — lock up your color and equipment overnight; no more hauling your kit in and out daily
