A&E The Hair Studio

A&E The Hair Studio is preparing to occupy a renovated 805-square-foot retail space at 211 N. Cedar St. in Denton. The project involves a complete remodel of the existing interior to accommodate a new hair salon tenant, with an estimated construction cost of $80,000.

The work is classified as a renovation and alteration under Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) regulations. The filing identifies 216 W Oak LLC as the owner of record and Staci Renfro as the design firm. Gary J Jacobs serves as the registered accessibility specialist for this specific project.

Project Status and Timeline

The project was registered with TDLR in September 2026. Plan review is pending, and construction is scheduled to begin in October 2026. Completion is targeted for January 2027. The registered status indicates that the project has entered the formal regulatory process but has not yet reached the inspection or closure stage.

This 122-day build window is longer than the 92-day median for similar renovation projects in Denton County. However, the estimated cost of $80,000 is below the county median of $235,000 for this type of work. The cost per square foot is $99, which is above the county median of $80 per square foot for comparable filings.

Design and Local Context

Staci Renfro has been the design firm for six other TDLR-registered projects in the region, with a combined value of $1,373,410. These include projects in Colleyville, Lewisville, Grapevine, Frisco, and Flower Mound. The local area, ZIP code 76201, has a population of approximately 29,832 and a median household income of $37,863 according to U.S. Census American Community Survey estimates.

The project is privately funded and located on private land. Denton County’s unemployment rate was 4.3 percent in July 2026, a figure higher than the rate recorded a year earlier. The renovation aims to create a compliant, modern space for the new tenant within the established timeline.
