“I’m looking for a place where I can provide treatments to my own clients.”
“I’m worried about the initial costs and fixed expenses of renting my own salon.”
“I want to gradually build my own clientele while working as a freelancer or as a side business.”
SALON by HOGUGU, a rental share salon located in Azabu-Juban, Minato-ku, Tokyo, was created for therapists just like these.
SALON by HOGUGU is a new style of share salon where therapists can use a professional treatment space only when they need it.
In addition to hourly rental plans, which allow you to use the space by the hour, we also offer monthly plans, which allow you to regularly use a designated day and time slot.
In this article, we introduce the features of SALON by HOGUGU and how you can make use of the salon if you are looking for a rental salon or share salon around Azabu-Juban and Roppongi.
SALON by HOGUGU: A Share Salon Just Minutes from Azabu-Juban Station
SALON by HOGUGU is conveniently located just minutes from Azabu-Juban Station.
F Plaza 401, 1-3-8 Azabujuban, Minato-ku, Tokyo
The salon is also easily accessible from Roppongi, Nishiazabu, Akasaka? and Hiroo, making it a convenient location for welcoming clients from around the Minato-ku area.
Accessibility is an important factor when choosing a treatment location as a therapist. If a salon is far from the station or difficult to find, clients may hesitate to visit.
Because SALON by HOGUGU is located close to Azabu-Juban Station, clients can easily visit after work, before or after shopping, or as part of their daily schedule. This makes it a convenient option for therapists who have clients in and around Minato-ku.
The Benefits of a Rental Share Salon
Opening your own salon requires a significant initial investment, including property contract fees, interior renovation costs, furniture, and treatment equipment.
Even after opening, you will need to cover ongoing expenses such as monthly rent, utilities, and internet fees. If you take on these fixed costs before you have built up a sufficient client base, the cost of maintaining the salon may become a significant burden compared with your treatment revenue.
With a rental share salon, you can use a treatment space according to the hours and days when you actually provide treatments.
Compared with renting an entire salon, this allows you to start providing treatments to your own clients while keeping initial expenses and monthly fixed costs lower.
It is particularly suitable for:
- Therapists planning to become independent
- Those who want to start providing treatments as a side business
- Freelance therapists
- Those who want to combine mobile treatments with salon-based treatments
- Those looking for a place to treat their existing clients
- Those who want a treatment location other than a home salon
- Those who want to increase their client base and revenue before opening their own salon
Instead of immediately renting your own premises, you can first use a share salon to build your clientele and then consider opening your own full-scale salon once your business becomes more established.
Hourly Rental Plans Available from Just One Hour
At SALON by HOGUGU, treatment spaces can be rented by the hour.
Because you only need to rent a room when you have a client appointment, you don’t have to pay rent for hours when you aren’t using the salon.
For example, this system is convenient for therapists who only have a few appointments each month or those who work as a side business on weekends.
Even if you’re not yet ready to commit to paying a fixed monthly rent, you can start your salon activities at your own pace according to your client bookings.
Hourly rental plans are also suitable for:
- Using the salon only when an existing client makes a reservation
- Providing treatments to clients acquired through social media or referrals
- Providing salon-based treatments between mobile appointments
- Treating clients specifically around the Azabu-Juban area
- Testing your business concept before becoming independent
One of the major advantages of an hourly rental salon is the ability to use the space only when you need it, according to your own working style.
Monthly Plans for Regular Use
For therapists who want to work on a regular day or time each week, monthly plans are also available.
“I want to use the salon every Wednesday.”
“I want to treat my own clients only in the evening after work.”
“I want to focus mainly on late-night appointments.”
This type of working style can also be accommodated.
By securing a regular day and time slot, it becomes easier to tell your clients when you are available, allowing you to use the salon with a sense of consistency similar to having your own salon.
You can also start with hourly rentals and switch to a monthly plan as your client base grows, allowing you to choose the option that best matches the stage of your business.
The appeal of a monthly plan is that you can establish a regular treatment base in Azabu-Juban while keeping fixed costs lower than those involved in renting and setting up an entire salon from scratch.
Treatment Equipment and Supplies Are Available
One concern when using a rental salon is whether the necessary treatment equipment and supplies will be available.
At SALON by HOGUGU, each room is equipped with basic facilities to make it easy for therapists to provide treatments.
The main equipment available in each treatment room includes:
- Electric height-adjustable treatment bed
- Rolling chair
- Frame trolley
- Mini towel warmer
- Mirror for touch-ups
- Cotton swabs and brushes
- Mini table
Additional supplies are also available depending on the type of treatment:
- Heated mat
- Bust support cushion
- Face pillow
- Foot cushion
- Half-round pillow
- Foot bath
- Hair straightener and curling iron
- Vinyl bed sheet
- Pillow sheet
The following items are also available for an additional fee:
- Large towels
- Bath towels
- Hand towels
- Client treatment wear
- Therapist treatment wear
- Jojoba oil
- Disposable shorts and bras
- Disposable trunks
Because you don’t need to transport a treatment bed or large equipment every time, you can arrive with minimal luggage and focus on providing your treatments.
Being able to reduce the cost of purchasing equipment from scratch is also a major advantage for therapists who are considering starting a side business or becoming independent.
Available equipment and supplies may vary depending on the room and rental plan. Please check the details when making your reservation.
A Calm and Welcoming Treatment Environment
When choosing a share salon, it’s important to consider not only the price and equipment but also whether the space provides an environment where clients can feel comfortable and at ease.
SALON by HOGUGU places importance on cleanliness and creating a calm treatment environment.
The private treatment rooms make it easy for therapists to focus on one-on-one interactions with their clients and can be used for relaxation, body care, oil treatments, and other services.
It can also be an appealing environment for clients who are hesitant about receiving treatments at a therapist’s home or who prefer a professional setting without the feeling of someone’s living space.
By taking advantage of the Azabu-Juban location and well-equipped treatment environment, therapists can also enhance the presentation of their services and strengthen their personal brand image.
Supporting New Ways of Working with HOGUGU
SALON by HOGUGU is more than simply a rental salon that provides treatment rooms.
In collaboration with HOGUGU, a mobile relaxation service, the salon aims to expand the range of working opportunities available to therapists.
For example, by combining mobile treatments through HOGUGU with salon-based treatments at SALON by HOGUGU, therapists can create a working style that fits both their own schedules and their clients’ preferences.
You can use the share salon during periods when you don’t have mobile appointments, or guide clients who prefer salon-based treatments to SALON by HOGUGU.
Combining mobile and salon-based treatments can help therapists make better use of their available time and create additional opportunities to generate income.
In addition, therapists who meet the required conditions can use the salon as a waiting location and potentially provide treatments to customers who visit SALON by HOGUGU.
Rather than simply “renting a treatment space,” another distinctive feature is the possibility of “having opportunities to receive treatment bookings.”
Therapists Who Are Not Registered with HOGUGU Can Also Use the Salon
Because the salon is called SALON by HOGUGU, some people may wonder, “Do I have to be registered with HOGUGU to use it?”
For rental share salon use, therapists do not need to be registered with HOGUGU.
Those who already have their own clients, as well as therapists who attract clients through other booking platforms, social media, referrals, or other channels, can use the salon as a treatment location.
However, if you wish to provide treatments to general customers who visit SALON by HOGUGU, registration with HOGUGU and the required procedures are necessary.
There are therefore two ways for therapists to work: renting the salon to treat their own clients, or providing treatments to customers through the salon.
Therapists Who May Benefit from SALON by HOGUGU
SALON by HOGUGU is particularly suitable for therapists in the following situations.
Those Who Want to Become Independent but Are Not Ready to Rent Their Own Salon
You can start your own salon-based work without immediately signing a property contract or investing in renovations, allowing you to begin with a lower level of financial commitment.
Those Who Want to Start Working as a Therapist on the Side
You can use the treatment space during the hours when you are available, such as weekday evenings or weekends.
Those with Clients Around Azabu-Juban and Roppongi
The salon is located close to Azabu-Juban Station and is also accessible from Roppongi, Nishiazabu, Hiroo, and other nearby areas, making it convenient for welcoming clients from around Minato-ku.
Those Who Want to Combine Mobile and Salon-Based Treatments
You can choose between mobile treatments and salon-based treatments according to your clients’ preferences and the type of service being provided.
Those Who Eventually Want to Open Their Own Salon
You can first use a share salon to build your client base and revenue while gaining the experience needed to eventually become independent.
Salon Tours Are Also Available
Would you like to:
“Check the size of the treatment room?”
“See the equipment and supplies before deciding whether to use the salon?”
“Ask whether the space is suitable for the treatments I provide?”
For those who have these questions, SALON by HOGUGU also offers salon tours by advance reservation.
You can check the actual treatment spaces, equipment, and access to the salon before deciding whether to use it.
Whether you’re using a rental salon for the first time or considering a monthly plan, please feel free to contact us.
