your chair, your clients, your way · nyc
Clubhouse is for barbers and stylists ready for freedom on their own terms — your clients, your hours, your name on every cut. Going out on your own takes nerve, and the truth is you don’t have to do it alone. Inside highlo — a name clients have trusted for seven years — you’ll find a calm, beautiful space with the back bar and the details handled, and someone in your corner who’s made the leap and knows the way. Tell us how you work, and we’ll help you build it here.
What’s included
- A private station — mirror, counter, outlets, storage
- Fresh towels & capes
- Hot towel machine & hot lather machine
- Full Aveda back bar — shampoos, conditioners & styling aids
- An array of great beverages for your clients to enjoy
- Fast wifi
- A calm, design-forward space that makes your work look as good as it is
Bring your own tools — we’ve got the rest.
Built for barbers & cutting specialists — cuts, fades, beard work, styling, and grey blending are all at home here. Our space isn’t equipped for full color or chemical processing, so that’s the one kind of work we’re not able to host.
More than a chair
It’s yours
Keep what you earn
No commission split, no handing over half your day. You set your prices and keep your service income — and when your clients buy product, the back bar pays you back too. It’s your business; it should feel like one.
An experience your clients feel
Hot towels and hot lather, good light, real drinks, the full Aveda back bar, and a calm room that never feels like a factory. Your clients notice — and they come back for how it feels.
You won’t do it alone
Going independent is a big leap. Here you take it alongside someone who’s run her own shop, knows exactly what you’re walking into, and genuinely wants you to make it. Support when you want it, room to do your own thing when you don’t.

Come see it for yourself
Some things you just have to feel in person — the vibe, the natural light, the plants, the energy of the space, the way a client settles in. A webpage can only show you so much. Come by, grab a coffee, and see if it feels like yours.
Thinking about going out on your own?
Maybe you’re ready now. Maybe you’re just curious what it would feel like. Either way, let’s talk — tell me about your work and what you’re looking for, and I’ll walk you through the space and how it all works. No pressure, no hard sell. It’s a big step, and you won’t take it alone.
