How My $1,600 Suite Rent Became $400 — Without Losing Control

By renting out just a few unused days a month, I cut my suite rent by 75% — from $1,600 down to $400 — while staying fully in control of my space and brand.

I Loved My Suite — But Not the Cost

When I finally leased my own salon suite, it felt like the dream:

My name on the door. My space. My rules.

But the $1,600/month rent? That was a nightmare. Especially when:

• I only worked 4 days/week
• Sick days and vacations still cost me full rent
• Last-minute client cancellations meant income gaps

The math didn’t lie — I was paying for 12+ unused days every month.

The Old Way: Sublease to a Friend

Like many stylists, I tried sharing with a friend.

It worked… until it didn’t:

• Payment delays
• Cancellations
• Awkward money conversations
• Strained friendships

No structure. No protection. No control.

Then I Found ArtistOnGo

I listed my unused days on ArtistOnGo.

They connected me with qualified, professional stylists who wanted exactly what I was offering:

• A beautiful space
• 1–2 days a week
• Zero long-term commitment

How It Works

• I choose which days to rent out
• ArtistOnGo lists my space, markets it, and handles all inquiries
• I approve the renter
• They handle payments, reminders, and scheduling

No chasing DMs. No ghosting. No drama.

The Math: From $1,600 to $400

Example:

• Rent out Mondays + Tuesdays at $100/day = $800/month
• Add Saturdays off = +$400/month

That’s $1,200/month covered.I now pay only $400 out of pocket — and still keep my suite full-time.

What I Loved Most

• I approve every renter
• Only qualified pros
• I keep my schedule, vibe, and brand intact
• My suite earns money when I’m not there
• No guilt for taking a vacation

More Than Money — A Community

I also connected with other stylists who rent on different days but share the same professionalism and respect for the space.

It’s not just rent relief — it’s a built-in network.

Final Thought:

If you’re only using your suite part-time, you’re losing money.

Let ArtistOnGo turn those slow days into steady income — without giving up control.
