In 1999, three St. Louis entrepreneurs took the beauty industry by storm when they opened St. Louis’ first high end, self-con ... tained studio salon in University City. The owners’ unique concept provides experienced hairstylists, manicurists, estheticians and massage therapists the opportunity to own and manage their own businesses in private, state-of-the-art studio spaces. Owners enjoy the perks of entrepreneurship including setting their own hours and prices, selling the product lines they choose, keeping 100% of their profits and enjoying one-on-one time with their clients. Metro Design Studio Salons has expanded to four convenient locations in University City, Des Peres, Creve Coeur and Chesterfield and is home to more than 100 entrepreneurs in the cosmetology industry. Metro Design Studio Salons is the first salon in the St. Louis area to offer this type of entrepreneurial experience. With a business owner retention rate of over 95% and four locations to choose from, it continues to be the premier salon of its kind in St. Louis.
