For stylists & estheticians
Work as an Independent Artist with Salon 695
Your chair. Your vision. Your clients. We handle the business for you. Bookings, scheduling, the front desk, so you can focus on your craft.
- Coordinated booking
- 30+ years in Denver
- Veteran colleagues
Who this suits
Built for stylists who want to focus on the work
Renting at Salon 695 fits an independent stylist or esthetician who has built a following and would rather spend the day on their craft than on running a front office. If you want your own chair without answering your own phone, this is the setup for you.
You would be joining the Independent Beauty Pros already renting here. Our Work With Us page covers the other path, the small employee roster, for anyone who would rather not rent.
The Salon 695 difference
You stay in the chair. Our front desk answers the phone, books your clients, and keeps the calendar, so the day is yours to work in, not yours to administer.
How it works
Renting a chair at Salon 695
A chair rental model, on your terms
You rent a chair or booth as an independent contractor, setting your own specialty, your own client relationships, and your own craft from day one.
Coordinated booking, the uncommon part
Salon 695's front desk answers the phone and books on your behalf, alongside every other renter and the in-house team. One number, one calendar, nobody juggling five separate apps.
You keep your book
Existing clients follow you in, and coordinated booking simply adds to your calendar rather than taking over the relationships you have already built.
Terms confirmed with the salon
Chair rental rates and specifics vary by station and specialty, and they are always confirmed directly with the salon before you commit to anything. Ask when you schedule a tour.

Who you would be serving
A clientele looking for their one and only stylist
Salon 695 sits just south of Cherry Creek in Denver, in easy reach of Wash Park, one of the city's most affluent and walkable stretches, with steady foot traffic that already knows the address. At 695 S. Colorado Boulevard, it is not a strip-mall storefront you would have to introduce yourself to, and these are clients who come in to find the one stylist they stay with, the kind of loyal following worth building your work around.

A brand worth standing behind
Thirty years, and a name worth putting on a card
Salon 695 opened on South Colorado Boulevard in 1994 and has stayed in the same Denver neighborhood for thirty years since, building the kind of name people recognize. Today it is a name you are glad to tell people you work at. Read our story for the full history.
