    Location

    HQ Hair Ltd is prominently situated on Whitley Road in the popular coastal town of Whitley Bay. The area is well-established as a busy commercial and residential location, benefitting from strong local footfall and a loyal customer base. The unit occupies a visible trading position along a well-trafficked thoroughfare, with a mix of independent retailers, salons, cafés and national operators nearby, creating a vibrant and complementary business environment.

    Whitley Bay is a sought-after seaside town located approximately 8 miles east of Newcastle upon Tyne, attracting both residents and visitors throughout the year. The area is well served by public transport, with nearby access to the Tyne and Wear Metro providing regular connections to Newcastle city centre and the wider region. The immediate vicinity benefits from good levels of passing traffic and pedestrian flow, with convenient on-street parking available nearby, making the premises easily accessible for clients.

    The Premises

    The business occupies the ground floor of a mid-terrace, two-storey property, prominently positioned within a well-established local shopping parade. The premises extend to approximately 83.86 sq. M (902.6 sq. Ft) and are thoughtfully arranged to provide a spacious, open-plan salon environment.

    The layout comprises a welcoming reception and customer waiting area, five fully equipped cutting stations (with capacity for additional stations if required), three backwash units, a dedicated colour preparation room, kitchen facilities, W.C., and a separate laundry room. There is also a designated patio area to the rear and access to the yard to store the commercial bin.

    The salon is presented to a high standard throughout, benefiting from a modern and stylish fit-out. Fixtures and fittings include a Gledhill 218L hot water tank, gas central heating with radiators throughout, a suspended ceiling, and durable wood-effect flooring, creating a professional and comfortable environment for both clients and staff.

    Business Description

    Established in 1992, the business has been under the same ownership for over three decades and has built a strong reputation within the local community. The salon enjoys a loyal and repeat customer base, reflecting the quality of service and long-standing presence in the area.

    The business specialises in bespoke haircuts and personalised colouring services, tailored to individual client needs. It is now being offered to the market due to the owner’s retirement, presenting an excellent opportunity for a new proprietor to acquire a well-regarded and established salon.
