SHARE WORKS: Redefining the Shared Salon Experience in Nakameguro

Nestled just a three-minute walk from Nakameguro Station and six minutes from Daikanyama Station, SHARE WORKS stands as a pioneering shared salon, specifically designed for freelance hairstylists and independent creatives. However, this space transcends the typical salon framework. It doubles as an atelier, offering a unique opportunity for hair and makeup artists to utilize it as a creative haven.

A Vision Rooted in Experience

What sets SHARE WORKS apart is its ownership. The facility is owned by an active hairstylist who understands the nuances, anxieties, and challenges of being a freelancer. Drawing from years of salon work, the design embodies insights on what constitutes a truly functional work environment for creative professionals.

The facility isn't merely about providing equipment. It represents a comprehensive work setting crafted from an authentic, field-based perspective, reflecting real-world needs and challenges.

Concept Overview

The guiding philosophy of SHARE WORKS is “Work is Art,” emphasizing the importance of low-risk yet high-freedom endeavors. Within the beauty industry, success isn't dictated solely by technical skills; it encompasses brand identity through space, customer interactions, and artistic sensibility.

SHARE WORKS expands this concept further, crafting an environment where work itself is an artistic expression, accommodating not just hairstylists but also makeup artists and creators alike.

Versatile Space Usage

The multifaceted structure of SHARE WORKS allows for various functions:

• - Preparation and makeup for photoshoots
• - A foundation for creative projects
• - A base for client work

This facility allows users to maximize the space as a platform for expression. With a combination of private booths and an open floor plan, SHARE WORKS facilitates both focused work periods and collaborative activities. Its duality as a salon and an atelier adds to its value, creating a dynamic environment for creativity.

The Thoughtful Design of the Space

SHARE WORKS is crafted around the themes of “Whitespace” and “Coexistence.” Emphasizing harmony over assertiveness, the space design embraces the “beauty of moderation” that Nakameguro represents, prioritizing tranquility and room for inspiration.

• - Second Floor: Designed for “Individual Establishment” (private rooms)
• - Third Floor: Designed for “Collective Creation” (open space)

This tiered approach fosters individual creativity while encouraging gentle connections between different professionals—enhancing collaboration in a supportive environment.

A New Workplace Concept

SHARE WORKS proposes flexible working options, including independent business plans and commissions tailored to each stylist's career trajectory. Furthermore, as a fully automated, 24-hour facility, it allows for a liberated work style, free from rigid schedules or organizational constraints.

Not only does this space empower hairstylists, but it also supports makeup artists and other creatives in cultivating a work style that liberates them from conventional employment frameworks.

SHARE WORKS NAKAMEGURO embodies a share salon that stretches beyond its conventional boundaries—serving as a fertile ground for creativity and expression. It’s not merely about choosing between independence or affiliation; it's about nurturing one's brand while participating in self-expression.

From this site, new forms of work styles and artistic expressions will emerge, heralding a fresh era for creatives.
