This month’s Vibe Pro Spotlight is on Lindsey, owner of Studio L located in Vibe Salon Suites in Plymouth, MI. Lindsey is a licensed cosmetologist and has been in the hair industry for over 10 years. When she is not giving her clients the hair of their dreams, she is a busy mom of 2 boys, married to her high school sweetheart!
Why did you decide to go solo and work out of a salon suite as opposed to working in a traditional salon or spa setting?
I decided to move to a solo salon suite to provide a more intimate and private space for my clients to relax.
Did you tour other salon suites? If so, why did you choose Vibe?
I chose Vibe because the moment I met Vibe management, I knew they would do anything in their power to help provide the space I was looking for. It was so clean and spacious. I love the quiet and intimate atmosphere while doing my clients hair.
What advice would you give to someone who is trying to decide if they want to go solo or not?
I would say “go for it”! Having your own salon suite will give you the creative freedom that most hairstylists strive to have. You can attract your own ideal clients and truly be your authentic self with no one else there to judge what you’re doing.
What is the best thing about being an independent beauty professional?
I love being able to control my own schedule and create my own hours.
What do you like most about your suite at Vibe Salon Suites?
I love that there is free Wi-Fi and free laundry. I love that there are cleaners that come at night to make sure we’re maintaining that salon cleanliness standard.
