REAL TALK
FOR THE ARTIST
WHO WANTS TO LEVEL UP:
Are you a professional Hair Stylist, Makeup Artist, or Beauty Professional that has always felt like you were meant for more?
You want to make your own decisions as an Artist and with your business, but nervous to go at it alone?
Do you want control of how often you work, how much you can make financially and create a healthy work life balance ?
Wish you had a community of like minded Artists that have years of experience and success that could help guide you to create freedom and success for your own career?
Slēk Salons were created to make this all a reality, by an Artist, for Artists.
At Slēk Salon, we offer booth rental / Suite opportunities designed for independent professional Artists who want freedom and success without the overwhelm of doing it all alone. Imagine being your own boss and choosing your own hours, building a schedule that fits your lifestyle, and creating a healthy work life balance. You’ll have full control over your pricing, services, and the professional products, tools, and techniques you use. No more following someone else’s rules or limits with your artistry. Instead, you can run your own business inside a supportive, high end salon environment that inspires both you and your clients.
We’ve built a collective of driven professionals who thrive independently as their own business but want to be apart of a community for support and fun! You’ll have peers to share ideas with, mentorship to guide you, and continuing education opportunities.
Our goal is to give you independence with support, so you can elevate your career to what you've always wanted. Whether you’re stuck in a salon that makes all your decisions or just looking for a fresh start, this is your chance to step into ownership of your craft.
Slēk is not a corporate salon, it’s a modern, creative space where talented artists build the businesses and lives they want. You bring the passion and dedication, and we’ll provide the support, environment, and community to help you grow. Together, we’ll make this your most abundant and fulfilling chapter yet!
SOUND LIKE YOUR VIBE?
Let’s connect. We’ll chat, tour the space.
No pressure. Just possibilities.
What the artists say about working out of SLĒK SALON...
Sharon DeMartino, NY
Being a part of Slēk Salon is more than just where I "work" it's an experience. There is constant support and guidance with whatever idea I may have, no matter how big or small. Rather than the feeling of competition, I have of a group of cheerleaders rallying for me no matter the topic. I feel I am constantly inspired to be the best at what I do. Being in the industry for 17 years and to not feel stale or stagnant in my profession is a huge nod to my work environment. For hairstylists to succeed in this industry one of the most important traits you need is self motivation. Others include of course talent, confidence, likeability but having a team that supports you, a boss that will do absolutely anything to help and guide you. Well that's the stars aligning for a long, prosperous and successful career. That's what Slēk Salon has given me.
Christine Lansley, NY
Being a part of Slēk has quite literally been a dream come true. The amount of thought and work that Kelsey puts into every detail and aspect of the salon, along with the unwavering support, ongoing education and mentorship you get as an independent artist is unmatched. Kelsey goes above and beyond to help you grow your business in anyway that she can. I also get to work with an entire team of the most incredible, talented and supportive stylists. The atmosphere here is very inviting. It’s uplifting! We love all of our clients and strive to provide them the best experience always! Im excited to come to work everyday to see our people :)
Katie Ranzer, NY
“I joined Slek with no expectations since I’ve never rented a suite. Since being with Slek I am over whelmed by the support received from Kelsey the owner and fellow workers. I am impressed by the level of education and professionalism by all associated with Slek."
Angela Mineau, NY
"Working at Slek has changed my entire career for the better. I've always dreamed of bigger things and driven to bettering myself within this industry. Kelsey's attention to detail and truly understanding each stylist and their needs and how they operate sets Slek Salon. I am now able to work less and actually make more. This means I can spend more time with my family. Where other salons look at stylist and see dollar signs. Kelsey looks at stylist, season individuals and their needs by creating the best versions of themselves."
