How pricing works

Guide rates first. A tailored recommendation second.

You can see the current starting rates before booking a tour. Your preferred days, availability, commitment and support needs then shape the recommendation we make before you decide.

Current chair and workspace options

See the guide rates that match how you want to work.

If you are an independent hair professional or makeup artist, compare the current guide rates below first. Then, if the range works for you, tell us about your working pattern and we'll recommend the best-fit arrangement for your days, availability and support needs.

No form required to see pricing. These are guide rates, not a final personalised quote.

Current guide rates

Here's the starting point.

Casual flexibility

$129 + GSTper day

Best when you need the space occasionally without a weekly commitment.

Multi-day

From $119 + GSTper day

Available when your booking pattern qualifies for our multi-day rate.

Weekly

$449 + GSTper chair, per week

For hair professionals who want a regular weekly base in Northbridge.

These are current workspace guide rates, not a personalised quote. Your recommended arrangement can depend on preferred days, availability, commitment and support needs. We'll explain any difference clearly before you decide.

Pricing with context

Then decide whether the value fits your business.

Once you have seen the current guide rates, use these videos to understand what sits behind them — and why the cheapest chair is not always the best business decision.

Guide rates first. Full value second. No pressure.

PRICING WITH CONTEXT

Why we aren't Perth's cheapest

The cheapest chair is not always the best decision. Weigh working pattern, support needs, client experience, and the business you want to build.

MORE THAN A CHAIR

This was always meant to be more

Membership gives you more than somewhere to stand. Space, support, flexibility, and guidance combine into a stronger setup for independents.

How to choose

A clear path from guide rates to the right arrangement.

You get a real pricing starting point first. We then add the context that matters — your working pattern, current availability and what support will actually help your business — before recommending anything. See the full how-it-works pathway.

01See current guide rates

Compare the casual, multi-day and weekly chair-hire starting points openly—no form or contact details required.

02Share your working pattern

If the range works for you, tell us what you do, how often you want to work and the best way to contact you.

03Get the best-fit recommendation

We match the starting point to your preferred days, current availability, commitment and support needs, then explain any difference clearly.

04Tour the space if it stacks up

If the range and value make sense, visit Northbridge, ask practical questions and decide only when you are ready.

What shapes your recommendation

The guide rate is the starting point. Your fit determines the arrangement.

We do not hide the starting point, and we do not pretend every professional needs exactly the same setup. These are the factors we use to make the recommendation useful rather than generic. Calculate your income potential →

The same space, three stages

One station that grows with you.

From your first chair to a station with your name on it.

Three stations side by side: a single chair with a stylist and client, a busier station with two chairs and a colour planner on the wall, and a branded station with a blank pink sign, shelves and a laptop desk.

01Days you need in the salon

How many days you want to work — and when — affects availability, access and which current rate structure applies.

02Starting out or scaling up

Some professionals need a lighter, flexible entry point. Others are ready for a more consistent weekly base as their client book grows.

03Support that matches your stage

Business coaching, marketing guidance, education and systems can sit around the workspace differently depending on what will genuinely help you.

04Current client load and goals

Your bookings, rebooking patterns and growth goals help us avoid recommending more space or support than makes sense for where you are now.

Work independently—with support

Systems, people and flexibility that can make independent work easier and less isolating.

Systems and templatesPractical tools that cut admin time
CommunityProfessionals building beside each other
Flexible membership structureShaped around your days, goals and support needs

The guide rate tells you the starting point. The inclusions tell you whether the value is right for your business.

Before you decide

Clear starting rates. Tailored fit. No pressure.

You should be able to decide whether the range is realistic before sharing your details or giving up an hour for a tour. That is why the guide rates are published openly and the optional enquiry is reserved for a tailored recommendation.

No pressure

You do not need to submit anything to see the guide rates. If you choose to request a recommendation, it starts a conversation and does not lock you into a plan or a tour.

No bait and switch

The guide rates are genuine current starting points. If your recommended arrangement differs, we explain why before you make any decision.

Clear next steps

You can see the starting price, understand what is included, check availability and decide whether a Meet & Greet is worth your time.

Pricing questions

Clear answers before you choose a pathway.

How guide pricing works at The Beauty Basement — and why the final recommendation still depends on your schedule, availability and support needs.

Why is pricing not listed on the homepage?

The pricing page publishes our current casual, multi-day and weekly chair-hire guide rates so you can assess the range without submitting a form. The optional chair-options form is only for a best-fit recommendation, and there is no obligation to book a tour or join.

Are the guide rates my final quote?

Not necessarily. The guide rates are the current starting point for chair hire. Your final recommendation can depend on the days you want, current availability, your level of commitment and the support that makes sense for your business. Any difference is explained before you decide.

Is this commission based?

The Beauty Basement is designed around independent hair professionals and makeup artists building their own business. We explain the exact arrangement, inclusions and any optional support before you commit so you know what applies to your situation.

Can I rent casually or part time?

Yes, subject to current availability. We have casual, multi-day and weekly pathways, and the short chair-options form helps us understand which starting point is most relevant to you.

Is this the cheapest chair rental in Perth?

No. This is not built to be the cheapest chair in Perth. It is built for hair professionals and makeup artists who want a premium Northbridge workspace, useful support and a stronger base for growing an independent business.

How do I find out what I would pay?

Compare the published guide rates on this page first. If the range works for you, use the Current Chair Options form for a best-fit recommendation based on your preferred days and support needs before deciding whether a Private Meet & Greet is worth booking.
