Business Overview:
REDUCED This blow dry bar business is one the top salon franchises available in the country, and it is a brand that is growing exponentially with locations all across the country and in Canada. The brand coined the term “blow dry bar,” which is a salon concept that offers no cuts or color but provides gorgeous blow outs, custom styling, updos, bridal styling, makeup services and even hair extensions. The stylists are paid hourly vs. a commission-based system, and at a successful location, licensed stylists can make up to $28-30 an hour. With some owner involvement, there is no need for full-time management, but the business does benefit and grow with a qualified front desk receptionist/supervisor. Any stylists who are promoted to supervisory positions can continue to generate revenue. This location opened mere months before the pandemic and because of Covid and family obligations in 2020, the business has struggled to grow since opening. The business needs fresh energy and working capital to get it on track for the growth and revenue that this franchise typically sees. At a $75,000 price tag, any buyer could get this stunning business in its perfect location for approximately ¼ of what it costs to open a brand-new franchise of this blow dry bar.
The business is situated in a busy strip center in a premium Greenville location, and any potential buyer could invest in marketing and hiring to see the revenue increase by 3 to 5 times depending on how many stylists and makeup artists are hired and also by including additional services like hair extensions. A salon this size in the franchise can generate $300,000-500,000 annually. The salon was built out in the fall of 2019, so all furniture, fixtures and equipment are in excellent condition and the custom millwork alone is worth well over $60,000.
As stated above, this location was built out in a busy and popular strip center in Greenville, SC. The franchise fee alone to start this franchise ranges from $35,000-40,000, and with buildout costs and investment in high-end millwork plus chairs, fixtures and inventory, startup costs can be over $400,000. The franchisor is extremely supportive and innovative with their franchisees, and they are perpetually working with local franchise partners to grow their locations and the brand. With a large network of corporate support and marketing, any new franchise partner would have the tools and knowledge to grow this business to profitability in short order.
Any potential buyer could invest in marketing (Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), add a variety of products for retail sale and add new services to see the revenue increase by 3-5X depending on how many additional stylists the buyer chooses to hire and services offered.
