At CoLab, the heavy and risky decisions have already been made for you.
CoLab is conveniently located on Queens Parade, Clifton Hill. Incredibly accessible from the inner suburbs, and from the east thanks to the short drive from the end of the Eastern Freeway, just off Punt Road.
There’s a tram stop right outside the door and a train station close by, plus 2-hour, 4-hour and daily un-metered parking within a short walk, so your existing clientele can easily follow you to your chair at CoLab.
Everything you need, already sorted.
A chair at CoLab comes with the essentials covered and the support to help you grow.
“Colab is a salon about community, growth and connection.”
Colab was an idea I had when I first started freelancing. I’d realised just how much was involved in launching and maintaining a rent-a-chair business. I wanted to build a space that didn’t just house freelance artists, but guided and mentored them through every season of business.
Drawing on my experience as an employed hairdresser building a column, and later as a business owner seeking out education and mentoring, I’m bringing my years as a technical colourist and business owner to give you the best opportunity to build and grow your own.
I can’t wait to hear from you.
