Salon chairs become hourly rentals as Huim Company launches Salong Pick Share

Hair designers can now rent individual salon chairs only for the time they need under a new service from South Korean beauty franchise company Huim Company.

The company said September 3 that Salong Pick Share would broker and rent unused salon space by the hour through its Salong Pick platform. The service will initially operate at selected locations of the company’s Lloyd Bomb and Huim M Hair franchise brands.

Unlike conventional shared salons, which divide larger premises into sections and offer longer-term leases, the new service matches empty chairs and available periods in real time through a digital platform. Designers must hold a legally recognized hairdresser’s license.

Users can check available locations in the Salong Pick app, select a chair and time, and pay for either an hourly pass or a full-day pass. Store owners can activate or deactivate rentals through a dedicated page, review bookings that fit their schedules and approve them directly.

A Huim Company representative said the structure allows designers to use salon facilities for only the necessary period while giving store owners a way to generate additional revenue from unused space. The company plans to use the platform to improve the efficiency of salon operations.
