High-Visibility Salon on Washington Ave | Downtown STL | Booth Rental
Business Description
Stylish salon with natural light and active booth rental income
This expansive, light-filled salon in the heart of Downtown St. Louis offers over 6,000 square feet of beautifully renovated space with an exceptional combination of style, functionality, and income potential. Surrounded by 20 oversized windows and two skylights, the natural light and open feel create a stunning environment for both stylists and clients.
The layout includes 8 shampoo bowls, over 25 stations, a welcoming lobby with couches and TVs, and a sleek lounge area with countertop space for food and beverages (with proper permits). Two entrances—including one ADA-compliant with a brand-new elevator—ensure full accessibility. The space features refinished 100+ year-old hardwood floors, wood ceilings, and a high-end aesthetic throughout.
Currently, 9 booth and suite renters are in place. An additional 9 private suites are under construction, several of which are already pre-leased. Due to strong interest, advertising has been intentionally held back—highlighting the demand and growth potential. The salon has reached this level of occupancy with minimal outreach and no formal signage.
A washer/dryer is on site for added convenience. The salon also presents further revenue opportunities through product sales, commission-based services, and potential food/beverage offerings.
Whether you're an owner-operator or investor, this is a rare chance to step into a beautifully built-out salon with a strong foundation and significant upside in a premier downtown location.
