Located a 3-minute walk from Nakameguro Station and a 6-minute walk from Daikanyama Station, this facility is a new hub for freelance hairdressers and stylists aspiring to independence.
Furthermore, this facility is designed as a space that can be utilized not only by hairdressers but also as an "atelier" for hair and makeup artists and creators.
The biggest feature of this facility is that it is owned by an active hairdresser.
Having been on the salon floor day in and day out, the owner has gained insights into the anxieties of working freelance, the risks before and after independence, and the impact of space and environment. Based on this, the facility was meticulously designed to determine "what environment is truly necessary."
It's not just about providing equipment; it's about a "real working environment born from an on-site perspective."
◾️Concept
Work is Art.
Low risk, High freedom.
A hairdresser's work is not just about technique; the space, customer service, and sensibility all contribute to their brand.
SHARE WORKS was conceived to further expand this idea, as "a place where work itself becomes an expression."
This is not just a shared salon; it is a hub where hairdressers, hair and makeup artists, and creators can pursue their activities in their own styles.
SHARE WORKS functions as a place for hairdressers, while simultaneously serving as an "atelier" for hair and makeup artists.
・Preparation and makeup before and after shoots
・Base for portfolio shoots
・Hub for client work
The space itself can be utilized as a "place of expression."
With a two-part configuration of semi-private rooms and an open floor, it achieves both quiet, focused time and outwardly open activities.
It is both a salon and an atelier.
This ambiguity is precisely the value of this place.
◾️Spatial Philosophy
The design of this facility is built around the themes of "whitespace" and "coexistence."
Responding to the "aesthetics of moderation" that the town of Nakameguro possesses, the spatial design emphasizes harmony over assertion, and whitespace over stimulation.
Additionally,
・The 2nd floor is designed for "individual establishment" (private rooms)
・The 3rd floor is designed for "collective creation" (open space)
This creates a relationship where each creator can be independent yet loosely connected.
◾️Proposed Work Styles
At SHARE WORKS, flexible options are available to suit each hairdresser's career, including independent business plans and commission-based plans.
Furthermore, as a 24-hour unmanned salon, it enables flexible work styles free from the constraints of time or organization.
It serves as a hub supporting "unaffiliated work styles" not only for hairdressers but also for hair and makeup artists and creators.
"SHARE WORKS NAKAMEGURO" is a shared salon born from the perspective of an active hairdresser, yet it holds the potential to be a "creative space" that transcends that framework.
It's not a choice between independence or affiliation—it's a place to work while nurturing one's own brand, and to express oneself.
From here, new forms of work and expression will emerge.
