Business for Sale Overview:
Operated for nearly eight years, but built upon the Owner’s previous experience of freelancing within the sector, this is a very well managed and successful beauty salon having established itself as a firm favourite amongst the affluent professionals that are abundant in this area of Surrey.

There’s also a wide range of pampering packages for pregnant clients as well as the ‘bride to be’.
This business also offers a range of specialist, hi-tech treatments rarely offered elsewhere within its catchment area including ‘age management’ skin treatments via a visiting practitioner, as well as semi permanent tattooing for eyeliner, eyebrows and lip liner. Products used within the salon have also been carefully chosen to stand out from the rest with Guinot and MD Formulations used widely throughout the salon.
Having been an empty shell when this company moved in, the premises have been developed specifically with the needs of the business in mind creating a very well suited environment, decorated to a very high standard, promoting a very inviting, relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. The four treatment rooms, three nail stations and two pedicure rooms are professionally fitted with good quality and well maintained equipment. The staff include full and part-time, fully trained beauty therapists and specialist nail technicians supported by a fully manned reception desk, and the Owner, working within the business on a part-time basis only.
This salon has an extensive base of approximately 2,500 – 3,000 satisfied Clients, all drawn by the highly personal and attentive service they receive. Safe in the knowledge they are in expert hands, Clients leave the salon having experienced the ultimate in beauty therapy.
With a turnover of £182,200 generating a gross profit of approximately £72,000, this represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a very well positioned, high-tech, quality beauty salon with a large, affluent, repeat Client base and significant potential for future growth.

Property Features and Assets:
The business operates from very well suited premises in a select parade of shops on a road which generates high levels of passing trade – many of whom are some of the highest net worth individuals in the UK and live in the surrounding towns and villages. Further interest is generated by the business’s close proximity to Waitrose and amongst the women involved in the morning school run to the local independent school a few hundred yards away.
Furbished to a high standard the Ground Floor premises includes four treatment rooms, three nail stations and two pedicure rooms together with a staff room and WC. The Reception area to the front of the salon includes a merchandising area for retail product and seating for four. There is a small enclosed courtyard to the rear which could be used for rest and relaxation during the summer months.
The premises are leasehold with four years remaining on the lease with Rent approximately £12,500 per annum and Rates approximately £3,400 per annum.
There is ample free parking within the residential areas close by.
Market Competition and Expansion:
In a prime location, this business benefits from high levels of awareness and passing traffic – reinforced by banner advertising and ‘A’ boards clearly visible from the road. It offers Gift vouchers and regularly runs ‘monthly special’ and ‘extra session’ promotions as well as open evenings offering free trials of treatments. The business has a database of approximately 2,500 – 3,000 Clients to which it occasionally mails newsletters.
Most new business is generated from Client referrals and word of mouth recommendation, bearing strong testimony to the business’s excellent reputation and high levels of Client satisfaction.
The business does not as yet have a web presence which would further enable the business to promote itself and particularly its more technically based treatments to a much wider target audience.
