Let’s chat See how it works

Clubhouse is for barbers and stylists ready for freedom on their own terms — your clients, your hours, your name on every cut. If you’re working on commission, you already know the truth: those clients come for you. The next step is making it yours, and you don’t have to take 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.

Inside Clubhouse — barber stations along a slate plaster wall, exposed brick, plants, leather sofa and NYC skyline windows

What’s included

Bring your own tools — we’ve got the rest.

Clubhouse was designed with barbers in mind. Haircuts, scissor work, styling, beard work, and grey blending are all right at home here. Our space isn’t set up for full color or chemical processing, but for the craft of cutting, there’s no better room in the city.

More than a chair

It’s yours
Keep what you earn

Your name on the work, your prices, your income — no split to hand over, no cut taken off your craft. The retail you sell pays you back on top. Whether you’re building your book or you’ve been at it for years, it’s your business to run your way.

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.

Independent, not isolated

You run your own business, but you’re not stuck in a room by yourself. There are other talented people around — easy conversation, shared energy, a second set of eyes when you want one — plus someone who’s built her own shop in your corner. Be part of it or keep to yourself; both are completely welcome here.

How it works

Three easy steps — and the best part, you have to see in person.

1
Say hi

Text us a little about you and your work. That’s it — no application essay, no waiting weeks for a reply.

2
Come feel it out

Stop by and take a look around. We’ll talk through how it all works — some things are better shown than told.

3
Pick your days

Choose the standing days or flexible hours that fit your life, and we’ll get you set up and settled in.

Two simple ways to rent, priced by the day — quieter days cost less.

Pay only for the days you actually work — full Aveda back bar included, in a light-filled loft, with someone in your corner who’s done it before.

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 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.
