Bring your hairdressing business to your backyard
Whether you're launching your own salon, cutting back on overheads, or looking for a better work-life balance, a purpose-built backyard hairdressing studio is a smart way to bring your business home.
At Backyard Grannys, we build customised, functional spaces that meet professional standards while offering the comfort and flexibility of working from your own backyard.
A salon space that’s all yours
Forget fitting out a spare room or renting a commercial space. With a custom-designed granny flat, you can create a hair studio that reflects your personal style and meets the specific needs of your clients.
From thoughtful lighting to plumbing, layout and acoustics – every detail can be designed for the way you work. Whether you're after a minimalist one-chair studio or a multi-station setup with waiting area, we’ll make sure your backyard salon looks professional, feels welcoming, and functions efficiently.
Designed with your business in mind
Here are just some of the things we can include in a backyard hairdressing studio:
- Purpose-built plumbing for wash basins
- Commercial-grade electrical fit-out and task lighting
- Durable flooring for easy cleaning
- Waiting area or reception zone
- Separate toilet for client use
- Soundproofing for privacy
- Wall-mounted mirrors and custom storage
- Split system air conditioning for client comfort
- Signage options to promote your business
Our in-house architect can help you configure a layout that balances flow, comfort, and efficiency – whether you’re seeing clients back-to-back or a few appointments a day.
A professional studio space that adds value
Your hairdressing salon isn’t just a workspace – it’s a long-term investment in your property. Custom granny flats are increasingly popular for home businesses because they add flexibility, value and liveability.
Even if your business model changes down the track, your salon space can be repurposed for a range of uses – like a home office, guest room, rental accommodation, or creative studio.
We take care of the whole process
Setting up a hairdressing business from home involves more than just the build – and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Our team will:
- Assess your block and local zoning rules
- Advise on CDC or DA approval pathways
- Handle design, approvals, and compliance
- Manage construction from start to finish
- Provide access to our showroom for material selections
- Keep you updated at every step of the process
We’ve delivered over 1,000 custom granny flats across Newcastle, the Central Coast and Hunter Valley – and we’ve refined our process to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible.
