Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market Salon 31, which was taken over by our client and fully refurbished in 2016, the salon has been there since the 1980’s and still retains many of the clients it has built up over the years. The previous owner still works at the salon 2 days a week on an employed basis.
Salon 31 is a lady’s hairdressers and has a client base that has been coming back for years. The business specialises in cutting, styling, colouring etc.
Although the business was fully refurbished in December 2016, it does not have a website or social media page, and these are some points that the new owner should consider to take the business to the next stage. Another consideration is to bring a beauty side to the business, in the form of nails etc.
There are many reasons to buy Salon 31 including
- Long established client base
- Main road location
- Low outgoings
- Fully refurbished premises in December 2016
- A promotional campaign, vouchers, rewards etc
- Opening full time
- Addition of a nail bar etc
- Creating a social media page to promote the business
- Creating a web site to promote the business
The business is run and managed by our client, with the help of a trainee, 1 employed member of staff 2 days a week and 2 self-employed members of staff on a rent a chair basis. This being 50/50 for cuts and 60/40 in favour of the salon on colour

Tuesday & Wednesday: 9am – 5pm
Thursday: 9am – 7pm
Friday & Saturday: 9am – 5pm
