About this property
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a long-established and highly reputable hair salon, trading successfully for over 45 years and under the same ownership for 25+ years. The business now comes to market due to the owner’s well-deserved retirement.
Renowned for its excellent reputation, loyal clientele, and extensive customer database, this salon is a trusted name in the area. It has a proud stockist of premium brands including RedKen, Paul Mitchell, ghd, and Goldwell, and offers a wide range of traditional hair salon services.
The spacious, well-presented premises are arranged over two floors, featuring:
13 cutting stations
5 backwash basins
Low overheads with zero business rates payable
There is huge scope for growth, particularly through the introduction of beauty or aesthetic services, which are not currently offered.
Key Highlights:
Long-established business with strong brand presence
Loyal, repeat clientele and large customer database
Excellent location with low running costs
Genuine retirement sale - but the seller would be prepared to stay on for a period of up to 6-months, on a part time basis, if a purchaser would like him to do so.
Competitively priced for a quick sale – early viewing strongly advised ref: RX257463
