From Commission to CEO: How Cherry Creek Beauty Pros Are Building Successful Businesses at Indie Salons
Discover How Denver’s Top Stylists Are Taking Control of Their Careers and Building Their Dream Businesses in Cherry Creek’s Most Luxurious Salon Studios
For beauty professionals working on commission in Cherry Creek’s high-end salons, the dream of business ownership often feels just out of reach. However, a growing number of savvy stylists are discovering that the path to entrepreneurship is more accessible than they imagined – and it starts with making the transition to a private salon studio.
Why Cherry Creek Stylists Are Making the Switch

Beyond the prestigious address, Indie Salons Cherry Creek offers something unique: a perfect blend of luxury and community.
“I’m absolutely thrilled with my suite at Indie Salons in Cherry Creek,” shares Elizabeth, who opened her business in October 2023. “Opening my new business was nerve-wracking, but Indie made the entire process incredibly smooth. They took care of everything – from hanging up my light fixtures and painting my walls to installing cabinets and letting me choose my preferred sink. The experience has been fantastic, and I love being part of the Indie family.”
