Frequently Asked Questions.

Most suite concepts give you four walls and call it done. Shops+ gives you the Plus. The Shops is your foundation — a private, move-in-ready suite with 24/7 keyless access, flexible terms, and no booth rent, commission splits, or long-term lease traps. The Plus is what changes the game: marketing support that brings the right clients to you, Smart Spaces technology built around your trade, a community of driven professionals, and business services — accounting, consulting, and more — most independent operators never get on their own.

Hair stylists, nail technicians, estheticians, massage therapists, tattoo artists, lash artists, barbers, med-aesthetics providers, fitness trainers, beauty educators, and many more. If you serve clients in beauty or wellness, we have a space built for you.

Our first location, Pacific Plaza in Edmonds, WA, is opening in 2027. We’re currently accepting applications for founding-tenant spots — these are limited and fill up fast.

Join the founding list. We’ll reach out within 24 hours to learn about your business and answer your questions, and founding applicants are contacted first when suites are released. Tours are expected to begin in Summer 2027 — see the tour timeline.

Founding tenants get first pick of suites, locked-in launch-day pricing before any future rate adjustments, and exclusive perks reserved for those who commit before we open — including a free first month, marketing support, and a permanent Founding badge. Once the building opens, these benefits are gone. See all founding-tenant benefits.

Pricing varies by suite size and configuration. We share exact pricing during your private tour and consultation so we can match you with the right space. Founding tenants lock in the best available rates before we open to the public.

No long-term contracts. We believe your business should have room to grow and change — so we offer flexible terms that don’t lock you in. If your situation evolves, we evolve with you.

Everything you need to operate from day one: all utilities (electricity, water, Wi-Fi, HVAC), 24/7 secure keyless access, building maintenance, reception lobby with lounge seating, client refreshment bar, professional photography days, and access to our built-in marketing tools. No surprise extras.

None. Your suite is move-in ready — no buildout costs, no construction, no setup fees. What we quote is what you pay. The only customization costs are optional Smart Spaces upgrades, which we walk you through during your consultation.

We offer a range of private suites — from compact Solo Stations for nail, makeup, and brow pros, to Private and Dual Hair Suites, Color & Wash Suites, larger Specialty Treatment Suites for estheticians, injectors, and wellness providers, and a premium Signature Suite build-out. See the full lineup with sizes and layouts on our Suites page.

Smart Spaces is our modular wall system that configures your suite around the specific needs of your trade. Need a shampoo bowl with plumbing? A soundproofed room? Specialized electrical for equipment? We build it in — so your space works exactly the way your business requires from day one.

Yes. Smart Spaces lets you choose your configuration — plumbing, soundproofing, specialized power, lighting, and layout. During your consultation we’ll walk through the options for your business type so your suite is dialed in before you move in.

Yes — free on-site parking for both tenants and clients at our Edmonds location, a rarity in the neighborhood. Full details are provided during your tour.

Absolutely. Your suite is yours 24/7. Secure keyless entry means you can see early-morning clients, work late, or prep your space on your own schedule — any day of the year, no restrictions.

Built-in marketing support is core to the Shops+ model: professional photography days so your suite and portfolio look polished online, social media resources, local marketing tools, and guidance to help you attract and retain clients. You focus on your craft — we help the right clients find you.

Yes. Tenants have access to professional services including tax preparation, accounting, and business consulting — resources typically out of reach for solo operators. It’s one of the core advantages of being part of the community rather than going it alone.

Yes — and it’s one of the things tenants value most. Shops+ isn’t just a building; it’s a community of driven independent professionals. We host networking mixers and mentorship events, and provide shared spaces — a reception lobby with lounge seating and a client refreshment bar — that elevate the experience for you and your clients.

Tenants get first priority to upgrade to a larger suite or expand as space becomes available. We want to grow with you, not hold you back. If you’re thinking big from the start, tell us during your consultation and we’ll plan accordingly.
