Rent out your salon chair or room

List a spare chair or room. Local beauty professionals message you directly, and you keep all of the rent.

How renting out your space works

FindMy.beauty is a listing site, not an agency. We show your space to people looking nearby, and everything after their first message is between you and them.

  1. List your space

    Add photos, describe the salon and set a day, week or month price. Styling chairs, barber chairs, nail stations, treatment rooms and whole studios all work.

  2. Receive enquiries

    Hairdressers, barbers, nail technicians and therapists searching near you message you through your listing. Each enquiry lands in your inbox and your account.

  3. Choose who you rent to

    Read each message, reply to the people whose work suits your salon, and invite them in to see the space before anyone commits.

  4. Agree terms directly

    You set the rent and collect it yourself. We never take a cut of what a renter pays you, so the only cost is your plan.

What an empty chair could earn you

An empty chair still costs you rent, rates and heating. Renting it out covers that, and your plan is £4.99 a month after the free 30 days.

Self-employed renters and HMRC

Chair and room renters normally work for themselves. They bring their own clients, set their own prices and hours, and pay their own tax and National Insurance through Self Assessment. That is what separates a renter from an employee.

If you tell a renter when to work, take a share of their takings or fill their diary for them, the arrangement can start to look like employment. HMRC's Check Employment Status for Tax tool helps you see where you stand.

The rent you receive is income for your business, and it usually counts towards your VAT taxable turnover. An accountant can tell you how it fits with the rest of your books.

Agree these before day one

Questions from salon owners

Something else on your mind? Email us at hello@findmy.beauty.

Do you take commission on the rent?
No. Renters pay you directly, in whatever way you agree with them. FindMy.beauty charges a flat monthly plan and never takes a percentage of your rental income.
What does it cost to list?
Your first listing is free for 30 days with no card needed. After that, Starter is £4.99 a month for one listing and Pro is £19.99 a month for unlimited listings across all your salons. See pricing for the details.
What kinds of space can I list?
Styling chairs, barber chairs, nail stations, beauty and treatment rooms, and whole studios. If a beauty professional could work from it, you can list it.
Do I have to accept every enquiry?
No. You read each message and decide who to reply to. Nobody can book your space without talking to you first.
Can I rent by the day as well as by the month?
Yes. Set any combination of day, week and month prices. Offering more than one rate lets freelancers, people building a client list and established professionals all find a fit.
Who handles insurance?
We recommend every renter holds their own public and treatment liability insurance, and that you check your salon's own policy covers people renting space. Ask to see a renter's certificate before their first day.
