At Chair Collective, we’ve designed every detail to support independent hairstylists, colorists, and beauty professionals who want flexibility, freedom, and premium tools—without the massive overhead of a traditional salon.
Whether you’re searching for chair rentals in Toronto, booth rental salons, salon suites, or daily salon rentals, this guide will walk you through exactly how to use the benefits of Chair Collective to grow your business and increase your income.
Our Fully Stocked Colour Bar: Premium Colour Without the Commitment
One of the most-loved perks at Chair Collective is our fully stocked professional colour bar, designed to give you access to top-tier products without forcing you into large upfront purchases.
How the Colour Bar Works
We operate just like a hotel mini bar:
Use what you need during your reservation
Pay per tube or bottle used at the end of your day
No waste, no overbuying, no expired inventory
Colour Lines We Offer
Pravana Permanent Colour
We proudly stock Pravana permanent colour because it offers one of the most robust and customizable professional color lines available today.
Full grey coverage with multiple tone reflection options
Beautiful, vibrant reds and coppers
Intense Vivids for rainbow and creative colour clients
Reliable, predictable results
Toners we love from Pravana:
5-minute express toners for fast services
Acidic gloss toners when you want longer processing time (perfect while working on another client—or heaven forbid—taking a lunch break)
Wella Blondorplex Lightener
For lightening, we are obsessed with Wella Blondorplex—hands down one of the best professional lighteners on the market.
Bond-building technology for healthier blondes
Consistent lift and control
Small containers so you only take what you need
If a colour correction turns bigger than expected, no problem—take as many containers as you need. We’ve got you covered.

Backbar & Styling: Included With Every Reservation

How Backbar Pricing Works

This eliminates the massive upfront investment usually required to offer premium hair care.
