Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum rental period?

Chairs can be rented for a minimum of one week. Choose your own start and end dates online, for as little as one week or a longer-term arrangement that suits your business.

How much does it cost to rent a chair?

Chair rental from £25 per day. No deposit. No commission. Daily rates per chair are £35 for rentals under a month, £30 from one month and £25 from six months. Rental is charged for every calendar day, including weekends and bank holidays, and longer rentals use actual calendar days rather than fixed 30-day months. Your exact dates and full price are shown before you pay. Rent, business rates, electricity, water, heating and Wi-Fi are all included.

What equipment is provided?

Every chair comes with a professional styling chair, mirror and workstation. The first floor salon at 42C Bridge Street also has two hair washing stations. You bring your own tools, equipment, products and consumables.

Do I need my own insurance?

Yes. Professionals operating from Style Studios run their own independent businesses and need their own insurance, and are responsible for their own business taxes.

What hours can I work?

When you rent a chair you choose your intended working days and start and finish times. These are used to calculate the appointments customers can book online. You are free to work outside these hours, but appointments outside your selected times must be arranged directly with your customers.

Is there parking?

103A Stow Hill has on-street parking directly outside. 42C Bridge Street has up to 1 hour’s on-street parking without a permit, plus the large train station pay-and-display car park to the rear. Public parking is subject to availability, charges and restrictions.

How do customers book appointments with me?

When you rent a chair, your public profile is created automatically using the services, prices, appointment durations and working hours you provide. Customers can then book online during your rental dates and working hours, and booking confirmations are emailed to you and your customer automatically.

Do I need an account or password?

No. There are no accounts, passwords or dashboards to manage. Everything is handled by email, including booking confirmations and renewal reminders. If you would like to change your services, prices, appointment durations or working hours, simply email Style Studios.

How do renewals work?

Three days before your rental ends, we email you a secure, personalised renewal link. Choose your new dates, accept the Terms & Conditions and pay, and your profile and original Member Since date are kept.

What happens if a customer cancels?

Cancellations, rescheduling and amendments are arranged directly between you and your customer. Each booking confirmation you receive includes a secure Release Appointment Slot link, so you can free up the time for another customer in one click.
