Discover salon locations for film shoots in Chicago

A salon scene is a great moment for characters in a movie to have a relaxing conversation and catch up on gossip. Loads of movies have moments where a beauty makeover goes well - or wrong. Salon scenes require specialized equipment and lighting that might be challenging to recreate. So why not rent a salon location for film shoots in Chicago? The city has thousands of salons that are either active, reserved for movie productions, or both. For example, we have several salons right now on Peerspace in the Near West Side that are suitable for filming. They include kitchens, free parking, dressing rooms, and other amenities as well. Accessory lighting is also important if you don't have your own. Salons designed for film productions will include them - you might even be able to get extra audio-visual equipment and helping hands for setup and breakdown. What sort of salon do you have in mind?

Beauty salon sets with authentic film props for filming in Chicago

One of the best things about living in Chicago is the endless number of custom-designed film sets for rental. Whether you're looking for a vintage speakeasy bar or a bank set complete with vault, you'll be able to find it here. Beauty salon sets are often recreated in repurposed lofts, where you have loads of extra space. Factory windows offer plentiful natural light and the walls are bare so you can hang decor that perfectly matches the theme you have in mind. Keep an eye for spaces with windows offering skyline views. By showcasing the iconic buildings of Chicago you cement the story's setting in the minds of viewers. Salon props like massage beds, chairs, hair care accessories, and mirrors are also important. Nail care and spa sections further the immersion of viewers and are easier to set up in a spacious factory loft.

Vintage salon sets for filming in Chicago

The best vintage salon sets for filming in Chicago are set in active businesses. Our West Town salon lofts exemplify this trend, with tasteful couches, plants, wooden floors, and huge windows. It's easy to add a few extra vintage details to finalize your set for filming, like seats and decorative wall hangings from an older era. Many of our loft salon sets also include speakers with bluetooth connectivity for music - a surefire way for viewers to date a film production. All that's left is to rent the space and start filming.
