Our co-owners…

Noelle Noel & Rachel Lowery

Noelle Noel and Rachel Lowery, co-owners of The Collective Salon in Waterville, Ohio, are lifelong best friends of 15+ years with a combined 20 years of professional experience in the beauty industry. Noelle, a skilled cosmetologist, and Rachel, a passionate esthetician, came together with a shared vision to create a space that reflects both artistry and community.

Their journey included a 12-month renovation of a historic 200-year-old building, where they thoughtfully preserved elements of its past while honoring the present. The result is a warm, elevated salon experience rooted in intention, creativity, and connection—serving the greater Toledo area with heart and expertise.

Our Mission

At The Collective Salon, our mission is to bridge the gap between traditional commission salons and full suite/salon ownership by creating a supportive, empowering environment for booth renters. We provide the tools, resources, and community needed for independent beauty professionals to grow, thrive, and build sustainable, successful careers—all within a collaborative and inspiring space.

Booth Rental

We offer booth rental opportunities to both hair stylists and estheticians across two thoughtfully designed stories. This layout allows for a natural separation between services while maintaining a strong sense of unity and collaboration. Each level is curated to support the unique needs of our professionals, creating an environment where independence and community go hand in hand.

Our Goals

Our goals are to continue building up and supporting the talented professionals who call The Collective Salon home. We’re dedicated to fostering growth, connection, and confidence for every artist within our space. Looking ahead, we aim to expand our impact by hosting business and continuing education opportunities that empower our team and elevate the industry as a whole.

The Collective Salon is proud to be home to a dream team of estheticians and hairstylists who embody both talent and heart. We were intentional in building a team rooted in kindness, authenticity, and skill—seeking professionals who not only excel in their craft but also bring warmth and genuine connection to their clients and co-workers. We found them, and together, we’ve created a community where beauty and integrity go hand in hand.
