Bexleyheath,London,UK, ID 138368
An opportunity is available to acquire a well-established and profitable hair salon located on the outskirts of Bexleyheath, South East London. The business occupies a prominent main-road position within a busy local parade, benefiting from strong visibility and regular passing trade. Nearby occupiers include estate agents, public houses, and supermarkets, which contribute to steady local footfall.
The salon fronts a main road and trades from a busy local position on the outskirts of Bexleyheath. The surrounding area is supported by a mix of complementary businesses and local amenities, helping to sustain consistent demand.
The premises have operated as a hair salon for more than 30 years, with the current owner having taken over almost a decade ago. Since acquisition, the business has been refurbished, including upgraded equipment and improvements to the salon environment and client experience.
Over time, the salon has strengthened its local reputation and developed a loyal base of repeat customers. The sale is driven by the owner’s involvement in other business interests and changing family commitments, rather than any issues with trading performance.
There is clear scope to grow the business through operational improvements and expansion of the service offering. Opportunities may include introducing beauty or cosmetic treatments, extending opening hours, increasing social media activity, and improving local marketing and advertising engagement.
Further upside could be created by recruiting additional stylists to increase capacity. There is also potential to introduce or transition part of the premises into nail services, with limited immediate competition locally.
The business is currently operated by four hairdressers, supported by two apprentices and one additional member of staff. Hours are split between full-time and part-time arrangements. This structure supports a strong level of autonomy, enabling the salon to trade effectively without the owner being present on a daily basis.
The salon currently trades five days per week, providing scope to increase turnover through additional trading days or extended hours.
The property is single-fronted with direct access to the main salon floor. The layout includes a reception desk and waiting area, seven cutting stations, and two backwash sinks. Additional facilities include a staff room with kitchenette, a toilet, and a fenced rear garden area.
The refurbishment included upgraded electrical wiring and fittings, and fixed electric heating has been installed throughout.
No business rates are payable.
This is an opportunity to acquire a long-standing, profitable hair salon with a loyal customer base, experienced staffing, and low owner dependency. With solid financial performance, favourable rent, and multiple growth avenues, the business is well suited to an owner-operator or investor seeking a stable operation with upside potential.
