Spaces across Austin are limited.

Seven salons, one membership. When a space opens it usually goes to someone already talking to us, so get your name in and pick the location that fits your drive.

Real bex+Co.® professionals from across our Austin locations. This is the community you'd be joining.

What you get

What your membership includes.

A luxury, fully-equipped space, plus everything around it that usually slows a beauty pro down when they go independent.

Your own space

A finished, professional salon home in the location you pick. Your prices, your schedule, your clients.

You keep what you charge

100% of what you charge for your services, and 15% on retail on top. No long-term contract, and your book stays yours.

A key that works at midnight

24/7 access, so you open early, stay late, and work the hours your life actually runs on.

The business side, covered

The Beauty Empire Blueprint™ handles pricing, money and marketing, and a Vagaro partnership handles your booking.

Help finding insurance

Connections to liability insurance and short-term disability options, so it's one less thing to research on your own.

Everything already stocked

Davines on the backbar, towels, laundry and professional cleaning. You bring your colour and your tools.

Why beauty pros stay.

Real members, in their own words, on what changed when they went independent with bex+Co.®

No more waiting

“I'm not stuck behind the chair all day waiting for clients to come in. They're already here, and if they're not here, I don't have to be here, and that is beautiful.”

Questions

Frequently asked.

What is bex+Co.?

A bex+Co.® Shared Workspace Salon™ gives independent beauty professionals a fully equipped, community-driven space to run their own business, alongside other independent pros.

Is this employment, or a membership?

Membership. You run your own business, keep your own clients, set your own prices and schedule. bex+Co.® provides the space, the community, and the support around it.

Which Austin locations have space right now?

That changes week to week, and some locations run a waitlist. Tell us the two or three that work for your drive and we’ll tell you exactly where things stand.

Can I bring my existing clients and keep my own brand?

Yes. Your clientele and your brand are yours, and they stay yours if you ever leave. bex+Co.® gives you a professional home to build from.

What does it cost?

It depends on the location and the space you choose, so we go through the real numbers on a quick call rather than putting a figure on a page that might not be your figure. Nothing is due to have that conversation.

What if I have never run my own business?

Most members hadn’t either. Pricing, bookkeeping, taxes and marketing are covered by the Beauty Empire Blueprint™, and the pros working around you have already been through it.

How do I get started?

Put your name in below. We come back with what’s actually open, usually within one business day, and you can tour any salon before you decide.

How is a Shared Workspace Salon™ different from booth rental or a salon suite?

Booth rental puts you inside someone else’s salon, working around the owner’s business. A salon suite is a private room you lease and work in by yourself. A Shared Workspace Salon™ is one open floor where each beauty pro holds a membership with their own chair and full workstation, their own key and 24-hour access, and other independent pros working around them.

Is there a bex+Co.® in Cedar Park or Georgetown?

Yes, both. Cedar Park is at 1890 Ranch on East Whitestone, by Target, and serves Cedar Park, Leander and Brushy Creek. Georgetown is in a converted historic hotel on Austin Avenue, beside the Georgetown Square. Liberty Hill opens this fall.

Can a newer stylist start at bex+Co.®?

Yes, if you’re licensed and ready to build your own book. Know your number and have a plan to reach it, and you can start with a partial book. The pros working around you have already been through it, and the Beauty Empire Blueprint™ covers pricing, taxes and marketing.
