Cogogo is delighted to bring to the market Vanilla White Hairdressers Limited, an upmarket Aveda Exclusive unisex hair salon located in the thriving village of Rustington, West Sussex.
The salon has built an excellent reputation and enjoys a loyal and established customer base, supported by a wonderful team of experienced staff.
The business is owned by three Directors, two of whom are non-hairdressers responsible for the administration and day-to-day running of the salon, alongside a third Director who is an extremely experienced hairdresser working approximately 30 hours per week
The sale is being offered as two Directors are now seeking retirement, while the third Director is looking to pursue a new career.
This represents an outstanding opportunity for a new owner-operator or investor to acquire a stylish, fully operational salon in a desirable and affluent location.
The salon is proud to operate as an Aveda Exclusive salon, using Aveda products for all colouring, washing and styling treatments.
It is important to note that Aveda products are naturally sourced, cruelty-free and vegan.
In addition, the salon stocks Glowwa Hair Food, an award-winning vegan-friendly and cruelty-free hair supplement designed to promote healthy hair growth from within.
Early viewing is highly recommended.
