- Very Loyal Customer Base
- Huge Growth Potential
- Well Equipped Business
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a thriving hair salon located within a fast-growing residential estate on the outskirts of Cambridge. Since opening in October 2023, this business has quickly become the preferred salon in Trumpington village.
Prime positioning beside a busy Sainsbury’s and close to a new primary school delivers excellent visibility, steady footfall, and the added benefit of free parking directly outside. Awareness and demand have been driven by strong word-of-mouth, an effective website, and active social media presence, resulting in a consistently full appointment diary and a loyal client base drawn from the local area and surrounding towns, including Norwich.
Industry recognition further strengthens the salon’s reputation, having received Highly Recommended status for Best Colour Salon at the HBA Finals 2025 and being named a finalist for Best New Salon at the HBA Finals 2024. With no direct competition within a three-mile radius, the business enjoys sustained demand and an established reputation for value and exceptional customer care.
A full range of ladies’, gents’, and children’s hair services is offered, alongside a nail bar and sunbed facility that operate independently but are included in the sale, providing additional income potential. Growth has been entirely organic, and the business is comfortably profitable, making it well suited to either an owner-operator or an investor.
Sale is prompted solely by family commitments, with the current owner willing to provide a structured handover and transition period to ensure a smooth continuation of the business.
The premises comprise a modern, brick-built unit within a small retail precinct developed within the last 5 years. The salon is fully fitted out to a high standard and presented in immaculate condition, creating a professional and welcoming environment.
Facilities include a reception area, 4 hair stations, 4 basins, a nail bar, an accessible customer toilet, staff room, fitted kitchen, storage room, and a dedicated beauty room currently equipped with a sunbed, which is included in the asking price.
The premises benefit from air conditioning, CCTV, and an alarm system, along with plentiful free parking directly outside. The salon also has two allocated parking spaces at the rear of the premises.
The business is fully staffed with 2 full-time and 1 part-time employees who manage day-to-day operations autonomously.
A full inventory of all fittings and appliances is included in the sale.
There is significant potential to increase revenue by fully utilising the fourth hair station with an additional stylist, catering to the current demand from clients.
Additionally, the beauty room offers an opportunity to expand services beyond the sunbed, opening up new avenues for beauty treatments which could attract a broader customer base.
Geographically, the salon is well-positioned within a growing residential hub, meaning the local population is likely to increase over time.
Enhanced marketing efforts through social media and community engagement could further boost brand visibility and customer acquisition.
Overall, the premises, established client base, and strong local demand provide a robust platform for future growth and profitability expansion.
