* Leasehold
What a location for a hair and beauty salon! Within the main reception area of
the upmarket David Lloyds gym on the outskirts of Ipswich, not only is this
business conveniently located with ease of access and parking, but you have a
constant passing of members to draw into the salon. Not that you need to be a
member to use the salon, however it does give the business a clear advantage
in acquiring new clients.
Given how profitable the business is, the asking price is very keenly pitched
making this an excellent opportunity for someone new to take the salon on with
a quick return on their investment and potentially with much less capital
required if the existing company is acquired.
Given the above which makes this offering of this type of business quite
unique we expect it to generate strong interest and so would urge you to
register contact us at your earliest convenience if you think that this may be
the one for you.
**The business**
Boasting 5 chairs for hairdressing, 4 treatment rooms, 3 nail chairs and 2
pedicure chairs, the business is set up to cater for all client needs. Whilst
there is a greater emphasis on the hair side of the salon, this does give
scope for a new owner to further expand on the beauty treatments offered.
With a turnover of in excess of £200k per annum, the level of net profit being
achieved is particularly high and well worth noting, making this much more
than just a viable business. Currently with 2 part - time hairdressers, 2 full -
time beauty therapists and a further returning from maternity leave on a part -
time basis, there is the capacity with the salon to be able to take on further
staff and maximise the space on offer. In addition there are also 2 self -
employed persons who rent chairs at the nail bar and again renting some of the
currently spare chairs within the salon could be another way to generate
further turnover without employing more staff directly.
The current owner has done an excellent job in building up the business both
in terms of the turnover and the level of finish inside. This would be an easy
one to walk straight into with everything in place that one would expect to
see and it would ideally suit either another owner operator or the owner of an
existing salon who is looking to expand.
**Premises**
From the large shared car park providing plenty of space for clients to
conveniently access the salon, you walk into a bright and upmarket reception
lobby which is the main entrance into the leisure centre. Within this lobby
are the business premises behind a glazed frontage with glazed double doors
leading into the reception/waiting area for the salon. There is a seating
area, product display unit and a reception desk with computer which has all
the booking software installed and linked to the business app. There is also a
door into a room with an upright sun bed installed and whilst not currently
used we are advised that it should be able to be used by clients once a
service has been carried out, should a new owner so wish.
Moving into the main working area you will find 3 nail stations set up with
LED light nail curers. Behind these is the hair salon which is very well
presented with a lovely polished tiled floor, lots of inset spot lighting and
a great sense of space. Set up with 5 chairs each with the usual fittings and
2 hair wash basins. To one corner is a recently installed raised section for
the pedicure area with 2 chairs each with power risers, foot - stalls and LED
curers.
Between the reception and hair salon a corridor takes you down to the 4
treatments rooms. To the left hand side are two of the rooms each with bed,
built in base and walls units with worktop over, sink, air - conditioning, mood
lighting and then the usual chairs, stools and other equipment as you would
expect.
At the end of the corridor is the staff room with built in units, worktop,
sink, fridge, microwave and vinyl flooring. At the end here is also an
emergency escape door if required.
To the right is a disabled access w. c with tiled floor and walls and then
round to the other 2 treatment rooms. These are similarly fitted out as the
others but with the benefit of each having shower cubicles plumbed in.
