Careers · Chair Rental
Rent a chair at Mill & Mane.
A boutique, appointment-only salon in downtown Tipp City for independent stylists who specialize in lived-in color, hand-tied extensions, curls, and precision cuts.
Why stylists choose Mill & Mane
We built the salon we wanted to rent in — one that respects your craft, protects your time, and gives you a real platform without taking your independence.
Your book, your business
Set your own prices, pick your own hours, and keep ownership of your clientele. We provide the room — you run the chair.
A boutique, appointment-only space
Quiet, intentional, and free of walk-in chaos. The environment elevates the work and protects your concentration.
Downtown Tipp City address
209 E Main St puts you steps from Miami County's most loyal salon clientele, with easy reach into Troy, Vandalia, Huber Heights, and Dayton.
Built for color, extensions, and curls
Backbar, lighting, and layout designed around lived-in color, hand-tied extensions, and curl-specialist work — not assembly-line service.
Marketed alongside the brand
Your work shows up on the Mill & Mane site, gallery, and local SEO surface — without losing your independent identity.
A founder who's done the chair
Lauren Noll built Mill & Mane in 2026 around the kind of salon she wanted to rent in: respectful, profitable, and creatively honest.

Stylist FAQ
Is this booth rental or commission?
Booth (chair) rental. You operate as an independent stylist, keep your own clientele, set your own pricing, and pay a flat rent for your space.
What's included with the chair?
A styling station in a boutique, appointment-only salon in downtown Tipp City, shared backbar and shampoo area, professional lighting, and inclusion on the Mill & Mane brand surface (site, gallery, local SEO).
Do I need to bring my own clients?
An established or actively growing book is ideal. Mill & Mane is a specialist environment, not a walk-in shop, so stylists who already own their client relationships thrive here.
What services fit best at Mill & Mane?
Lived-in color and balayage, hand-tied and beaded-weft extensions, curl-specialist cuts and styling, and precision dry cutting. If your work lives in those lanes, this is your room.
Where is the salon located?
209 E Main St, Tipp City, OH 45371 — in the downtown Tipp City historic district, about 10 minutes from Troy and 20 minutes from Dayton.
