Rent a salon by the hour in Dallas, TX

Plenty of movies feature gossip among girlfriends and light conversation with the main character's nail artist. And while the dialogue may be casual the set is anything but easy. A salon takes a lot of time and effort to design, with props that are hard to source. Especially if you want a vintage-inspired salon with decor that takes viewers into, say, the 1970s.
Fortunately, there is an easier way to create the perfect set without resorting to a green screen. And that's searching for beauty salon filming locations in Dallas. Like with prisons, hospitals, and banks, the Big D has all kinds of salons, both working and recreated, to choose from. Rental salons that are still running sometimes offer their space to music video and film creators outside of regular business hours. These salons offer a contemporary atmosphere that's perfect for films set in the present day.

For a movie or music video set in the past, a vintage salon set is the best rental option. Salon sets for filming will have calendars, posters, old-fashioned supplies, and other props that help viewers date the era.
A salon set is also going to have much better lighting than a regular salon business. The interior is designed with the needs of filmmakers in mind, so you'll have accessory lights that better light up your actors, regardless of their position. Meanwhile, regular salon businesses will have interior lights for viewing and they may have ample natural light. But you may need to include accessory lighting if the ambient lights aren't strong enough or outputting in the right direction.
Lastly, salon sets are much easier to rent than space in a running business. Unless the business has a regular plan for filmmakers to operate within their space, you may have to work out a deal with the business owner yourself. Meanwhile, a salon film set has been created with this purpose in mind. You'll be able to rent a salon set as soon as the next day if no one else has booked it ahead of you.

If you're looking to create a salon film set, your best bet is to rent space in a film or photography studio. Once you have your prop collection, all you have to do is set them up alongside your lighting. Dallas film studios like South Side and Chi Film Studios are located in the heart of downtown. Other great salon film set locations in Dallas include warehouses in North Dallas. Warehouses are a blank slate in terms of design, with ample parking and large loading bays for film equipment to be brought indoors.
