A note from Bex

Bex built the place she was looking for.

A personal invite from the stylist who opened the first bex+Co.

“It didn't exist. I looked. It didn't exist. So I made it.”
Bex, on Stars of Franchising

Hi, it's Bex.

I'm a hairstylist. I grew up without much, and cosmetology school was my way in. I worked at a big salon on Fifth Avenue in New York, then in commission salons and suite salons. Then I moved to Austin and became the top performer at one of the city's best-known salons.

I loved it there. So I asked how I could earn more of what I was bringing in. They said I was welcome to work as many hours as I wanted.

That wasn't the answer I was looking for.

I wanted a place where stylists run their own business, keep more of what they earn, and still have a beautiful space and other pros beside them. I looked. It didn't exist. So I made it. In 2015, I opened the first bex+Co. in Austin and called it a Shared Workspace Salon™.

My goal is freedom of time, freedom of money and freedom of purpose for every stylist. Time with your kids. Real vacations. A business that's truly yours.

If that sounds like what you've been looking for, I'd love for you to apply. It's a few quick questions, there's no commitment, and a real person reads every application.

xo, Bex
