The phrase indicates a search for spaces available for rent within a salon setting, located in proximity to the individual performing the search. An example would be a hairstylist looking for a station to operate their business in their local area.
This type of arrangement offers benefits such as lower overhead costs compared to owning a salon, greater autonomy in business operations, and the opportunity to establish a professional presence. Historically, this model has grown in popularity as a way for independent beauty professionals to enter the market and build clientele.
