Retail premises for sale

Derby, England, United Kingdom DE23

An excellent opportunity to acquire a long-established and fully equipped hair and beauty salon occupying a prominent position on one of Derby's busiest neighbourhood shopping streets.

Harps Hair & Beauty Salon has been successfully run by the current owner for many years and is now offered for sale due solely to retirement. This is a genuine walk-in opportunity for a qualified hairdresser, beauty therapist or aesthetics practitioner looking to take the next step and build a business of their own.

The salon enjoys a loyal customer base, with approximately 75% of trade generated from walk-in clients, providing an excellent foundation while still leaving plenty of scope for growth through social media and online marketing.

The premises are spacious, well presented and fully equipped with multiple treatment areas, allowing several services to be carried out at the same time. Everything needed to continue trading from day one is included in the sale, including the specialist aesthetic equipment used to generate the business's advanced treatment income.

Current services include:

• Hairdressing
• Beauty treatments
• Nails
• Laser hair removal
• HydraFacial
• 3D Lipo body contouring
• Microdermabrasion
• Microneedling
• Semi-permanent make-up
• Massage and holistic therapies
• Teeth whitening
• Retail beauty products

The business currently operates with three part-time members of staff who are expected to transfer under tupe, allowing a new owner to hit the ground running.

The owner believes there is considerable potential to grow the business further through:

• Introducing injectable aesthetics (subject to qualifications)
• Expanding social media marketing
• Greater use of online booking platforms
• Renting treatment rooms or styling chairs
• Introducing Afro hair services
• Extending opening hours
• Expanding the existing aesthetics offering

The business is offered on a leasehold basis from prominent ground-floor premises on Normanton Road. Following the separation of the adjoining units, the premises are expected to qualify for 100% Small Business Rates Relief, subject to confirmation by the local authority.

This opportunity would suit:

• An experienced hairdresser wanting their own salon.
• A beauty therapist looking to stop renting a chair.
• A mobile aesthetics practitioner wanting permanent premises.
• An existing salon owner looking to expand into a second location.
• A partnership looking for an established business rather than starting from scratch.

Businesses of this nature rarely come to market with such a comprehensive range of equipment already in place. With a retiring owner, established clientele and immediate trading potential, this represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a ready-made salon with genuine scope for further growth.
