Smooth Village

In 2016, after working in salons and wax studios, and seeing all that is wrong or could be done better, Angel and Chad decided they could do it better themselves. Angel found a cute little camper in Oklahoma that could possibly be the new home and first of many business ventures.

Chad suggested looking in their “own backyard”, which turned out to be a great idea. They found a 1973 Land Yacht Airstream only a few blocks from their home that was in great need of someone to love it. They quickly bought it and hauled it home. Within a six-month time period, Angel was up and running with a new salon and wax studio.

This was the beginning of Smooth Hair & Wax Studio.

Chad and Angel quickly found an overgrown location in the middle of “Old Town Leander”. The rent was too good to pass up. The city council and chamber of commerce loved them from the start! After a few months of making improvements to the property, and getting all of the permits cleared with the city, it was time to move the Salon to its new home at 203 West Broad Street Leander Texas. Then Chad and Angel decided to not just stop there, but to start a farmers market, as well as a live music venue.

This was the Beginning of Smooth Village. There was nowhere in Leander to buy local, and they intended to give the people just that. The Market started with only 5 vendors, and now 3 years later, the market has well over 30 vendors all year long. They have also created Leander's only outdoor live music venue. And what goes with live music? Beer! They then decided to buy an old 1961 International Harvester school bus and turn that into the “Buzz Stop” bar. Now Smooth Village is a hopping live music venue!

They have also added a commercial restroom that they created themselves out of a 1947 Spartan that was picked up on a road trip to Arizona and a Tattoo Studio that is a 1947 Spartan that can be used for a variety of options in the future. Chad and Angel did all of the remodels on each unit and have created a super cool place for all of Leander and surrounding areas to come and enjoy on a daily basis.

During this time, they have had comedy shows, live chefs, hundreds of bands, hosted high school marching bands, benefits, community events, Private parties, campaign parties, political rallies, etc. Chad and Angel are proud to call Smooth Village the home of Leander’s entertainment and live music as well as the most unique place in the surrounding Austin area.

We live here! We work here! We play here at Smooth Village!
