What is included in the chair rental?
Your own chair, lockable storage, 7-day access, washer and dryer, hot towel warmers, beverage fridge for clients, clean lounge and restrooms, and optional website profile and Instagram collaboration.
Can I build my own clientele?

How much does chair rental cost?
Lease rates depend on structure and availability. Schedule a shop tour for current options. We do not publish rates because arrangements vary by barber situation.

Availability changes. Submit a tour request on our Join the Team page and we will confirm current openings for Rancho Bernardo.
Is this commission or rental?

What is the difference between chair rental and a suite?
Chair rental is a shared professional shop with amenities and community. A suite is a private room you manage entirely alone. Country Club is for barbers who want independence plus culture and foot traffic.
