This established and eco-friendly unisex hair salon, located in Islington, North London, has been operating for 12 years, offering a range of professional hair services to a loyal local customer base. Specialising in cuts, colour, and styling, the salon uses ammonia-free, PPD-free, and sulphate/paraben-free products, all PETA approved.
Clients enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with free consultations, online booking, and complimentary refreshments, all provided by a friendly, qualified, and fully trained team.
Catering to men, women, and children, the salon focuses on high-quality, eco-friendly services. With 95% of clients being repeat customers, most rebook within 4 weeks to 3 months. On average, 20 new clients request appointments each week, and a loyalty card system offers discounts and free products to encourage repeat visits.
The client base is predominantly local, with 80% residing within a 5-mile radius. Clients typically range from 20 to 50 years old, including families, students, and young professionals.
The salon offers immediate revenue and strong local brand recognition. Its eco-friendly product range and reputation for quality make it a sustainable, profitable business. A loyal client base, high retention rates, and efficient systems like online booking and a loyalty card scheme provide a solid foundation for growth and a seamless transition for a new owner.
The salon is located at the top of Holloway Road (A1), just a 3-minute walk from Archway (Northern Line) and Upper Holloway (Overground), with pay and display parking available nearby on Elthorn Road.
The premises span approximately 85 sq meters and are well-maintained, featuring three stations, three basins, one colour/staff room, two bathrooms (for clients and staff), a bar area, and a washing/drying room.
All furniture, equipment, and products are included in the sale. The team consists of three part-time stylists, alongside two part-time owners who also work as stylists. This well-equipped and functional space offers a great opportunity for growth and continued success.
There is significant potential for growth with this business, primarily by hiring additional staff, as the owners have struggled to keep up with demand due to a lack of personnel.
There is also additional room within the salon to add treatment rooms or nail stations for additional revenue.
There is also ample opportunity to increase turnover through marketing, as no marketing has been carried out in the last eight years.
The business has not raised prices for two years, so there is potential for price adjustments.
With the right marketing efforts and additional staff, the salon could increase its client base and extend operating hours.
The premises and loyal clientele provide a solid foundation for further expansion.
