ABOUT US

OUR STORY

“Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs”
This was the inspiration that brought three seasoned entrepreneurs from the hair, beauty and property industries together to conceive Salon Lane. Recognising the increasing challenges faced by salon owners, salon employees, freelancers and home operators, Jared Keen, Lance Kalish and Moss Kadey set out to create an alternative workplace solution to allow independent hair, beauty and wellness professionals to apply their artistry and run a successful business while working in a supportive community of like-minded professionals. On 12 October, 2020 (in the midst of the Covid-19 storm), Salon Lane opened its first location in Surry Hills (Sydney). Since then, it has opened new locations in Sydney and Brisbane with more in the pipeline. Watch this exciting space!

OUR MISSION

To empower independent hair, beauty and wellness professionals to become entrepreneurs, enabling them to operate successful businesses.

OUR CORE VALUES

    BE CREATIVE
  • brave_on brave_off
    BE BRAVE
  • smart_on smart_off
    BE SMART

    BE INCLUSIVE
BE CREATIVE

Nothing done the traditional way will ever excite and stimulate the new generation of stylists and therapists. Creativity is in your DNA as it is in ours — like kindred spirits, we influence one another. Our spaces invite personalisation.
When you hand good people responsibility, they do great things. We’re a catalyst for creativity, a place for stylists to find their groove, share, and learn from their contemporaries.

BE BRAVE

Our members are brave — they’re shifting to being more independent with the courage to move up. We support their bravery and go against the grain to challenge industry conventions. We’re also treading pretty unchartered ground in Australia.
Willing to put our necks on the line for the under-serviced and underappreciated talent. Putting our name to what we believe in.

BE SMART

Smart is as much a value as it is a way of operating. Our set-up is smart, allowing for studio growth (renting a single, double or quad space). Flexibility is a smart USP. Giving people options that will enable them to operate the way that suits them.
Our members, too, are intelligent people. They’ve rejected the ‘done thing’ and will reap the rewards.

BE INCLUSIVE

We always have members and their clients in mind. Our spaces are for all of them, regardless of their experience, style choices or personality differences—a place where everybody belongs.
We cater to diversity in the industry and encourage pride in our customers. We’re egalitarian and welcome fresh culture.
