Rooms to rent. I have a couple of rooms to rent to nail tech, eyebrow/lash person, makeup artist, or someone who want to start their own tanning business. This should interest anyone in the Beauty industry. You don't need all these skills they are just ideas. The largest room (the one in the photo) measures 3.9 x 3.9. We have a shared kitchen facility and you will be running your own business so hours are up to you. As I'm here everyday I can take bookings. The rest would be up to you. There is spare signage available on the outside of the building. We are opposite the mall exit and have buses driving past so highly visible. The lash/brow lady a couple of doors down has left Johnsonville and set up somewhere else so now is the time. My vision has been to provide a one stop shop for the girls/women getting ready for their special function. I have run this past many clients and they have all been keen to use such an option. Lease details are flexible in that would not expect anyone to take on a fixed term. Other outgoings would be part of rent, wifi and if needed sharing the cost of the existing eftpos terminal. Give me a call and we can discuss details. Ball season has started. Please can you share with anyone who might be interested in starting their own business.

Still looking for a suit for your son's school ball? We have suits for hire.

We have available to purchase one each of the semi formal dresses shown here. The size is in the title. These are brand new and never been hired.

16/04/2021

I have hired out one room to a brow and eyelash lady further details to come but I still have another room available for rent. This may be your opportunity to run your own business. I think the room and the general area of Johnsonville might suit a nail technician. Ball season is almost upon us and it has been a vision to have a one stop shop for the girls to come and get themselves primed for their special event. So if your in the beauty industry and feel you could compliment what we already are going then give me a call. You will rent the room and the rest is up to you to promote and source your customers. A month to month lease agreement is acceptable. Give me a call on 0277774042.
